Fans of Peruvian food have a new restaurant to try in the Heights. Sabor a Peru is now open at 280 Central Avenue. (They’re located across the street from Irma’s Cafe and next to Renato’s). Like its namesake suggests, the restaurant highlights all aspects of Peruvian cuisine.
Peruvian food is often described as a diverse mix of various cuisines.

Sabor a Peru is showcasing some of that diversity on its menu with dishes like lomo saltado (a Peruvian-Chinese stir fry with strips of sirloin, onions, and tomatoes) and tallarín verde (a Peruvian-Italian pasta dish made with pesto). No Peruvian restaurant is complete without ceviches and Sabor a Peru offers three different types.
