Discovering The Culinary Treasures Of Piura

If you’re picking a gourmet destination in Peru, Eatagram invites you to explore the culinary heritage of Piura.

Piura benefits from its coastal location and offers its guests mind blowing views of the Pacific Ocean and an abundance of seafood.

So, what should we start with in Piura?

As the Pacific Ocean provides the city with daily fresh catches, seafood is the cornerstone of the local diet. Be sure to start with the city’s iconic ceviche piurano. It’s a ceviche variation with sole or corvina. It’s typically served with toasted cancha. We adore majarisco with fresh squid, scallops, and shrimps.

If you’re ready for gastronomic experiments, we recommend that you try the unparalleled seco de chabelo. This beef dish offers an unusual combination of flavors, as beef is infused with bananas, tomatoes, and cilantro. Really noteworthy! But don’t miss out on trying tamales verdes, banana leaves rolls filled with spicy chicken.

Can’t decide on a drink? In our experience, algarrobina is an incomparable refreshing sweet drink, based on Peruvian fruit brandy and algarrobina syrup and infused with cinnamon and milk.If you prefer low-alcohol drinks, be sure to sample chicha de jora. Its recipe dates back to the Inca Empire times. Here’s to your culinary adventure in Peru!
