Arequipa and it's gastronomic tradition

Arequipa (Peru) - Arequipa and it's gastronomic tradition

Arequipa and it's gastronomic tradition Arequipa, in Pear, is recognized as a city with an excellent local gastronomy. Due it's strategic location between the coast and the andes, it has achieved a robust and delicious food, putting together the best of both regions.

The typical or popular restaurants are located generally out of the city, in the rural area. They are called "Picanterías", because the main dish they prepare is the famous "Picante" (means hot food in Spanish). A Picante is a stew prepared from vegetables or meat with a cooked dressing based on red local pepper. It's served with rice.

Traditionally the Picantes were served starting at 3 PM, to those clients arriving to the local to drink some beers. Generally a Picante is composed of 2 or 3 variations of the stew served together.

Before the Picante time, these restaurants serve the "daily menu". Composed of a three course meal: an entrance, a robust soup and a main plate. Actually, the main plate is the soup, which is called "Chupe". Each day has a corresponding Chupe. So, on Monday they will serve 'Chaque", Tuesday"Chairo", and so on.

Today Arequipa has modern restaurants that maintain the gastronomic quality heritage, and have improved to it several plates like Rocoto Relleno or Chupe de Camarones. The Picanteria has started to disappear.
