There are even a couple of meatless options, like grilled vegetables and a burrata caprese salad.

Croissants, pastries and pizzas from Alanya also reached the south. Perfect to start the day with a hearty breakfast or to close it with a light lunch.

The tiger’s milk

This bar gained popularity for offering 40 types of tiger’s milk. Here ingredients that represent the different regions of Peru are combined: from chili peppers to various fruits.
