Lima 27 is a big name on the city’s list of upscale establishments, known for its blend of Peruvian, Italian, and Chinese cuisine. Portions are small and shareable, and while it may be tempting to stick with the iconic specialties such as the ceviche trio, you’re better off exploring the unique elements of the menu: grilled octopus with goat cheese chimichurri, smoked salt, and lima bean purée; snail risotto with flambéed Pernod, luscious bone marrow butter, swiss chard, and parmesan air; and grilled tuna with greens, apples, crunchy crab cake, potato strudel, mustard toffee, and grated hazelnuts. Be warned that the Pisco sours are strong, but where in Lima are they ever not?
