Flavorful streets: 5 of the tastiest gastronomic spots you’ll find on Av. Petit Thouars

A space dedicated to cremoladas, its main attraction. The menu is small, but the quality and creaminess of its cremoladas are worth it. There are classic flavors like passion fruit, mango, strawberry pudding, and coconut pudding, plus burgundy grape, blueberry, chicha morada, and custard apple pudding.

For 85 years, the emblematic tavern has been part of the bohemian life of Lima. It was the place where Chabuca Granda used to sing along with his friends and where Alfredo Bryce Echenique frequented until a few years ago. It was also the place where Creole soup and tacu tacu with breaded meat were born, according to Juan Duffó, grandson of the Italian immigrant and founder of the place, Silvio Canata. Long live Superba!

A young space that warmly welcomes everyone (even pets). Upon entering, you will see that there is a conditioned space for babies (or very young children) with some amenities for them. It has breakfast options (oatmeal pancake, açaí bowl and more), assorted sandwiches (chicken, avocado, tenderloin, etc.), empanadas, wraps and a variety of desserts (lemon pie, muffin, cupcakes, chocolate etc). All this can be accompanied with teas, coffees or smoothies.

A good place to start the morning with a traditional Creole breakfast. Only cusqueño corn is used to prepare the tamales that are sold in different presentations: criollo that is stuffed with chicken or pork loin; the arequipeño is stuffed with pork and its touch of nájar anise; in addition to the typical chinchano wrapped with banana leaves. There is also a green tamalito (chicken, cheese and kid stuffing) and humitas (salty and sweet). Tamal culture at its best.

We close the tour with this vegetarian/vegan restaurant that mixes Peruvian and Asian cuisine, and also has an Ayurvedic influence. It has a creative and gourmet proposal. On the menu, the makis stand out (they have eight vegans and four vegetarians). If you are looking for Peruvian food, you cannot miss the cebiche or the noble cause. If you prefer fusion food, try the kare udon, the pad thai or the famous Udon Wok. There are no alcoholic drinks, but you can try their mocktails (based on fruits and herbs) or the lemonades with fruits and iced teas with fruit and vegetable syrups.
