"This old restaurant is located in the district of Barranco and is undoubtedly the best in the preparation of this delicious dessert. Their picarones have become the big stars of the menu because they are crunchy and golden, but mainly because they are smeared with large amounts of chancaca honey."

"Made with squash, sweet potato and various spices (such as anise and cloves), this testing exceeded my expectations by confirming two transcendental issues: crispy dough on the outside and spongy on the inside. On the syrup that bathes them, what corresponds: chancaca honey is at the exact point between sweet and bitter. Generous portion and authority in the preparation. Remarkable."

"Eat Lunch at La Mar Cebicheria. I ordered picarones drizzled in Amazonian honey, which is a type of doughnut that actually originated in Lima! If you visit Lima, do not leave without trying this signature dessert."
