Astrid y Gastón
This is the restaurant that started Peru's current food revolution. Now one of the older outposts of
novoandina
(Per-
uvian nouvelle cuisine) cooking in Lima, Gastón Acurio's French-influenced standard-bearer nonetheless remains a
culinary force to be reckoned with. His seasonal menu is equipped with traditional Peruvian fare, but it's the exquis-
ite fusion specialties - such as the seared fillets of
cuy
(guinea pig), served Peking-style, with fluffy purple-corn
crêpes - that make this such a sublime fine-dining experience. The restaurant has a first-rate international wine list.
