Eat in Lima is an easy task to do, why? Because of its brilliant food. It is a fusion of everything and maybe the best food scene in Latin America.

Lima as a gastronomic city and it has varieties of 3 000 potatoes that gives new inventing ways of eating. But at the same time making the Peruvian food getting more attention nationally and internationally, by this we now know about Quinoa and the super benefits it has: That is because of globalization.

The fun part was that actually in Peru; I was feeling close to Scandinavia. I think this is something about respecting the local ingredients around you and the richness of the Pacific Ocean. The Peruvians eat everything in the sea as Scandinavians do. In Peru, I was eating seafood that was as good as the Scandinavian seafood. In that case, I was thrilled, because I was home, fare away from home.

I love how food can make you closer or give a great memory of your life. Food is everything for me. In the end, it doesn’t matter where you from, it don’t matter if you are rich or poor, we are all looking for the same good food and the memories to share about it.

Eat in Lima the Gastronomic City of Latin America

To be honest the only reason, I went to Lima was because of the Food Scene, that my Peruvian friend back home in Norway was from Lima. I wanted to see his city and eat in Lima. There are many things to do in the city, but the number one thing to do is the food scene, even the Lima: Gourmet Tour can be a great thing to do.
