At Lima Gourmet we are a team of food and travel experts. We've scoured (and devoured) Peru's vast culinary scene and woven an edible tapestry that relays the country's rich history. With more than 14 years of experience and over 2,000 five-star reviews from happy guests, we think we've found the perfect recipe that strikes a balance between unforgettable dishes, restaurants, attractions, and neighborhoods. More than meals, we offer a dynamic way for guests to understand the history, culture, and society of Peru.
OUR STORY
We're Lucas and Sam, the founders of Lima Gourmet. As newlyweds we moved to Lima, a return home for Lucas and a completely new destination for Sam. After more than 15 years abroad, a lot had changed and we were fascinated with the city's culinary delights as much as its charming neighborhoods. Relocating to Peru quickly attracted visits from friends and family and Lima was our playground. We realized how easily everyone connected with the culture and traditions through the country's food (and Pisco Sours). It wasn't long before we received our first requests to design more formal itineraries and that's when the "aha! moment" came. What if we could create the same experience for other travelers beyond our circle? And that's exactly what we did. Lima Gourmet has now created that experience for over 115,000 guests that we consider extended friends and family.
