A delicious Peruvian dining experience: Restaurant Pachacamac by Cecilia Zapata (3. September 2024)
Finding a restaurant last minute isn’t that easy if you’re looking for something a bit better – but luckily, the Pachacamac by Cecilia Zapata still had availabilities. Since they offered a “Menu Dégustation ‘Pacifico'” (CHF 99.00), I decided to go for that. The evening then started with a “mushroom wonton”, which was nice in terms of flavour profile.
The first course of the menu was a “salmon ceviche with leche de tigre”, which was good and refreshing, although the leche de tigre sauce was almost a little bit too intense for my personal gusto.
As a second starter, they served a “tiradito”, which I liked quite a bit, but also here, I found the sauce a bit too intense. I mean, I do like intense flavours, but in both cases the acidity of the leche de tigre wasn’t entirely to my liking.
As a main course, a “dorade” was served, which was quite okay, but frankly, after a rather heavy lunch, I was almost not able to finish it.
Last but not least, they served a nice “dessert”, which did not only look gorgeous, but which was actually outstandingly delicious. But facing the same challenge – way too much food in the end.
All in all, the Pachacamac is a place absolutely worth visiting – great food, fair prices, superbly friendly staff, and a nice interior all in all.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems!
