Peru has a lot to offer in terms of eating out. There are restaurants to suit all kinds of budgets and pockets. From street food to midscale and upscale eateries, Peru has everything. And the kind of innovative food they serve has clearly highlighted Peru as a culinary hot spot among the world's gourmands.

Lunch is the most important meal of the day for Peruvian people and restaurant owners go out of their way to lure customers for their set menu lunches. So make the most of this while you are there. Lunch usually consists of a starter, main course, a drink and more often than not, also a small dessert. Restaurants serving various cuisines are available in Lima (also named The Gastronomical Capital of the Americas) and Cusco. But we were constantly in search of good vegetarian and vegan restaurants. Here are 10 restaurants where we really enjoyed our meals and would go back happily whenever we are there next.
