An absolutely amazing first meal in Peru at @meritorest by @juan_luismt_! We started with a delightful first bite of a vividly colored snack of fish and cereals inspired by the sunset in Lima. Followed by highlights including the super fresh scallops, octopus, fish curry, and glazed pork belly “char siu” with arepas. The corn, lucuma and tumbo dessert with a cut of coffee taste served as a brilliant ending to our night. I highly enjoyed the sharp, bright, and yet very well-balanced flavors from all of the dishes here at Merito. The wine pairing was fantastic as well with selections from all over the world but especially from South America.

Our menu:

- Fish and Andean Cereals
- Popeye Crab
- Scallops, Sanki and Jalapeño
- Octopus, Yacon and Cushuros
- Fish Curry
- Catch of the day with Corn
- Glazed Pork Belly with Arepas
- Corn, Coffee, Lucuma, Tumbo and Macambo
