Vista Peru

"Old City comes alive with this Peruvian restaurant that includes a signature Pisco bar with cocktails that include imported Pisco Portón, a colorless brandy that’s made from distilled fermented grape juice. But beyond their incredible libations, they have impressive Latin bites that feature anticuchos (grilled beef hearts), parihuela (lobster and mixed seafood soup), and Escabche de Pescado (fried fish fillet topped with onions, seasoned with vinegar and Peruvian peppers)." - Ernest Owens

"You know what helps fight the feeling that your entire life is just a white wasteland that goes on forever? Moving somewhere in the middle of the Peruvian rainforest. Sadly, we imagine there are about the same number of cons as pros in this pipe dream, but Vista Peru has the next best thing: pisco sours. Spend the night hiding from the freezing temperatures outside and trying a few pisco cocktails, plus an entire menu of the best Peruvian food in the city." - sydney mcelwee

"Ceviche and potatoes: two of the best foods on this planet, and two things that Vista Peru, a loungey Peruvian restaurant in Old City, does very well. We especially like their ceviche de camarones, which has shrimp, red onion, sweet potatoes, and corn all tossed together and marinated in a super light, citrusy sauce. Another thing they do well? Pisco sours. They have a huge pisco bar up front with a ton of different varieties, as well as about 10 pisco cocktails to try." - Sydney McElwee
