Arequipa boasts all sorts of
restaurants
dotted about the town serving a wide variety of foods, but is particularly famous for a dish called
ocopa,
a cold appetizer made with potatoes, eggs, olives and a fairly spicy yellow chilli sauce. Other delicacies include
rocoto relleno
(a spicy meat-stuffed Andean pepper),
chupe de camarones
(river shrimp casserole) and
adobo
(pork soaked and cooked in vinegar with maize-beer sediment, onions and chillis). As it's not too far from the Pacific, the town's better restaurants are also renowned for their excellent fresh seafood. Unless otherwise indicated, all the places below open daily from 11am to 11pm.
Picanterias
- traditional Peruvian eating houses serving spicy seafood - are particularly well established here. Other useful information
