One more eatery by Peru’s celebrity chef Gastón Acurio, Panchita specializes in meat barbecued on skewers. Much less formal than Astrid & Gastón, it has a lively modern canteen feeling. Despite his gourmet credentials, Acurio loves street food and sampled many of the best carts in Lima before deciding to open his own eatery devoted to anticuchos. The young waiters deliver your order on a wooden cutting board with a pan holding the skewer, accompanied by potatoes and vegetables in the center and, around the edges, small pots of sauces, so although you’re not dining on the street, you do get the adventurous feeling of eating food just off the grill. This is a lively, dress-down place to sample Acurio’s celebration of Peruvian cuisine.
