While Peru is home to towering mountains, tranquil lakes and verdant rainforests, this sprawling South American nation is perhaps best known for its world-class food scene. Imbued with a massive array of native plants and rich blend of cultures, the country has spread its influence all across the planet—and for those hoping to take a deep dive into Peruvian culinary culture, few destinations compare to Miraflores. This charming neighborhood comes complete with a wide array of sophisticated hotels and renowned restaurants, serving as the perfect spot for a gastronomy-focused getaway during your next trip to Lima.
Miraflores is renowned for its high concentration of upscale accommodations, and when it comes to blending lavish amenities with high-end dining, the JW Marriott Hotel Lima is second-to-none. While the property comes equipped with a seasonal outdoor pool and spacious suites that offer whirlpool bathtubs and stunning ocean vistas, no visit is complete without taking advantage of the hotel’s all-day dining destination La Vista. Equipped with towering windows that showcase the beauty of Malecón de Miraflores, this restaurant offers a wide array of international dishes for guests to sample, with the Vadouvan tofu curry serving as a particularly flavorful option—but for those in search of top-tier seafood, there’s no beating the JW Lounge.
Located just a few steps away from the on-property market, this polished space comes equipped with a towering backbar that’s loaded with artisanal Peruvian spirits, providing the perfect opportunity for newcomers to sample pisco to their heart’s content. While cocktail options range from the citrus-loaded Rosa de Lima to the rocoto and rosemary-forward Talita Cumi, first-time imbibers should be sure to sample a classic pisco sour, a refreshing drink that’s renowned for its creamy mouthfeel. As an added bonus, the JW Lounge has also mastered the art of refined Nikkei dining, a time-honored fusion cuisine that blends Japanese and Peruvian culinary culture. To kick off the meal, the yellow chili salmon nigiri and sweet chili prawn tempura are two particularly flavorful starters, while meat lovers should be sure to spring for the miso lomo saltado for a glimpse into the crossroads of Nikkei and chifa dining.
From citrus-infused seafood to decadent Chinese-fusion dishes, Peru is home to a wealth of ultra-flavorful creations that perfectly exemplify the country’s culinary prowess, with Punto Azul serving as a top spot for sampling one of the nation’s most famous foods. There’s a massive array of ceviches up for grabs around here, with shrimp and fish, concha negra and octopus varieties all appearing on the menu—but for anyone in search of top-tier grilled meat, be sure

I love Lima—it's the city my partner is from, yes, but it's also home to mind-shattering seafood, a great surf scene, nightlife, and some seriously underrated indie fashion. I'm lucky to visit two or three times a year, but the blessing and curse is that we always stay with family. I love them, but blow-up mattresses and a shared bathroom with my 18- and 20-year-old nieces have their expiration dates.
