A Taste of Peru

Sunday afternoon we celebrated Valentine's Day early with a meal at Andina Restaurant in The Pearl with Donna and Pierre. This was a new experience for all of us and the staff made us feel right at home. The menu was explained and "interpreted" along with sharing some great recommendations.
I love being adventurous in trying new things ... well, I have to admit that I was a bit timid about the octopus listed on the menu : )
Each dish served was a rich combination of tastes and aromas. From our beverage right down to the beautifully created desserts -you do not leave disappointed. We will definitely go back. The menu is full of an array of food and beverages waiting to be experienced. Check out this adventure of Peruvian cuisine and culture here. You'll be glad you did!

Do the Peruvians use the G word in their food?

How exquisitely divine! You describe the food deliciously! I myself am a big fan of octopus though whenever I eat it my husband jokes around claiming that I am devouring little alien limbs:)
Peru must have been such a lovely experience. I am happy you were able to journey there!

You know, I don't know if "The Pearl" is actually a state, city, or region...if it's not in Peru then excuse my confusion. At any rate I appreciate your Taste of Peru- in reading it I imagine visiting the place someday:) jm
