Recommended by Sorrel Moseley-Williams and 11 other food critics.
"Serious eaters should head upstairs to table by an open window, to devour an array of surprisingly tasty offal. Beef brain tortilla with liver and onions and cau cau con sangrecita (tripe and potato stew with fried blood, £10.30) are two such delicacies."

"Their ceviche is fresh and delightful and served with sweet potato, two types of corn and oh-so-scrumptious octopus chicharron!"

"You can’t leave Peru without trying the papas rellenas which are a popular croquette, and Isolina’s specialty."

"My kind of food. I enjoyed the balancing act of the stewed meat and white rice; a clean starch to offset the intense flavors of the stew. I am a total egg slut and unashamed of my love affair with the gooey, runny yolks. Put an oozing egg on anything and I will unabashedly suck it down. While scooping through the stew, we found purple olives and dried prunes adding unique textures and flavors to every bite."

"Fans of more typical food options can try their version of lomo saltado, a beef stir-fry."
