1. Fiesta Gourmet
$$ | |This exquisite eatery is one of Peru's not-to-be-missed culinary experiences. In 1983, the Solis family began serving modern interpretations of comida norteña (northern Peruvian cuisine) out of their home. The business exploded, leading to a chain of top-shelf restaurants all over Peru. Here, under the aegis of renowned chef Hector Solis, you can try a sumptuous cabrito (kid goat) and arroz con pato (duck with rice), as well as dozens of other local specialties and a long list of trendy pisco-based cocktails.

2. Fiesta Gourmet
$$ | | PeruvianBorn in Chiclayo decades ago, the Fiesta group is widely considered the preeminent dining choice for those looking for modern interpretations of Peru's northern coastal cuisine such as arroz con pato (duck with rice) or suckling goat. This location, a sleek multilevel modern bistro in Vista Alegre, has become the city's top choice for fine dining. Try the creative dishes like grouper cebiche, served hot, and innovative cocktails, nearly all of which utilize pisco. This place is highly recommended.

3. La Sirena D'Juan
$$ | |Chef Juan Seminario rides his motorcycle to local markets every day to find the fish and produce that make this narrow restaurant the rival of many top eateries in Lima. This means Mediterranean and Asian elements find their way into dishes such as a Nikkei-style tiradito (sashimi-style fish with a spicy sauce) and house-made pastas.
Av. Piura 316, Máncora, Piura, Peru073-258–173Known For

4. Restaurant Romano Rincón Criollo
$$ | |There's a reason why this criollo eatery is consistently mobbed by hungry locals at lunchtime: its innovative cooking is some of the best in northern Peru. From shellfish and goat to duck and causas (stuffed mashed-potato-sandwiches), the menu just goes on and on. Locals swear by the meat-and-rice norteño staples, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a weak spot here. Come hungry.

6. Creperie Patrick
$$ | |With a breezy terrace upstairs and a cozy bistro downstairs, this French eatery covers a lot of bases. There are couscous and fondue, as well as hard-to-find local dishes such as grilled alpaca. Don't miss the sumptuous dessert crepes and good wine selection.

7. El Batán del Tayta
$$ | |Chachapoyas's trendiest eatery tends to elicit sharply polarized reactions: for those in the "love it" camp, local chef David Sancón's innovative take on Amazonian cuisine is a foodie's dream, with imaginative presentations (think guinea pig on a clothesline and ant-studded cocktails), hip jungle decor, and a level of culinary imagination unavailable elsewhere in Chachapoyas. For those in the "hate it" faction, it's all style and no substance. That said, a local puts the case well: "Whatever your final opinion, you can't leave town without trying El Batán."
Jr. La Merced 604, Chachapoyas, Amazonas, Peru982-777–219Known For
- Imaginative jungle decor
- Bold fusion takes on Amazonian cuisine
- A culinary philosophy where presentation is as important as flavor
-
8. El Celler de Cler
$$ | |With its wooden balconies overlooking the street and its rustic-chic interior, this steak house gets high marks for ambience as well as flavor. Vegetarians have a few pastas to choose from, but the main reason to go are the rib eyes and filets mignons. There's also an extensive, if pricey, drink list.
Jr. Independencia 588, Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru044-317–191Known For
- Meat, meat, and more meat
- Solid wine list
- Intimate but classy digs

9. El Mochica
$$ | |Half a century's worth of tradition has gone into this Trujillo standby. Bustling at lunch- and dinnertime, it's a fun place to eat that specializes in regional cuisine—and does it well. Start with an industrial-size portion of spicy cebiche de lenguado (sole marinated in citrus), followed by rice smothered with camarones (shrimp) or mariscos (shellfish). There are additional locations near the Huacas del Sol y de la Luna in the village of Moche, as well as in Huanchaco.

10. Paprika
$$ | |Situated in the Wyndham Costa del Sol Hotel, this graceful, white-tablecloth affair serves up better-than-average versions of Peruvian and international classics. The menu rotates, but the quality of the pastas, seafood, and desserts is reliably consistent. Try the anticuchos or arroz con pato.
Jr. Cruz de Piedra 707, Cajamarca, Cajamarca, Peru076-362–472Known For

- Broad views of main square
- Variety of tasty piqueos
-
11. Restaurante Tarawasi
$$ | |This homey seafood joint has a lounge that looks like your grandma's living room, with lots of local crafts hanging from the walls. Portions are huge, and prices reasonable: try the arroz con mariscos (seafood with rice), and enjoy the views of the bay as you linger afterward. Even if you're not interested in the beach at Tortugas, this makes a nice refueling stop en route to Trujillo or Chiclayo.
