Why we recommend it
The Lima Gourmet Company is a food tour operator with more than 14 years of experience and a website dating back to 2011. It is based in Miraflores and focuses on what most visitors come to Lima for: the food. Lima's restaurant scene is one of the most celebrated in the world, with Maido ranked first on The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2025 and Central in 2023, and a guided tasting is a good way to understand the dishes, ingredients and history behind that reputation before you book a big dinner.
The core products are the Lima Food Tour, offered in a morning and an afternoon version, and a Cooking Class in Lima. Having both a morning and an afternoon departure is handy if you arrive on an early flight or want to keep your mornings for museums such as Museo Larco or MALI. The cooking class is a good choice for anyone who wants to take a recipe home. Lima's food culture also includes chifa, the Chinese-Peruvian cooking rooted in the Barrio Chino, and Nikkei, the Peruvian-Japanese cuisine of restaurants such as Maido, so ask your guide how those traditions fit into the story.
Beyond Lima, the company runs a Day Trip Ica Adventure, which offers a choice between a desert oasis and a visit to what it describes as the oldest winery in South America, a long day out from the capital. There is also a Lima City Tour for those who want to combine sightseeing with food, and gift cards for anyone planning a present for a traveller.
Private tours are available and are recommended by the company for groups, flexible departure times and bespoke itineraries, which makes them a good option for families and special occasions. The website has English and Spanish versions, and bookings can be made online.
The Lima Gourmet Company suits first-time visitors, food lovers and anyone who wants a structured introduction to Peruvian cooking. Because tour details such as meeting points and durations are given at booking rather than on the home page, confirm the start location and time when you reserve. Contact is by phone or WhatsApp on the number published on the website.
