1 Best Restaurant in The North Coast and Northern Highlands, Peru

To experience the Andean delicacies that huarasinos eat on special occasions, take a 10-minute taxi ride outside downtown to this excellent restaurante campestre (country restaurant beneath a trellised arbor). Here you'll find pachamanca (meats and vegetables cooked over coals in a pit), pork cooked in a cylindrical box, and yes, cuy, or guinea pig (it's actually scrumptious). The decor and service are hospitality personified, and the grilling is some of the most exquisite in the city.
