Lima Food Scene in January

Lima's food scene runs year-round, but timing matters. December through April is summer - warmer weather means more outdoor dining and better seafood. The ceviche is at its peak because the fish is freshest. But here's the thing about Lima weather: it's basically the same temperature all year. The real difference is the garúa - that persistent mist that hangs over the city from May to November. It doesn't stop you from eating, but outdoor terraces aren't as appealing. Restaurant Week happens twice a year - usually in April and September. Prices drop significantly at high-end places, but you're eating a limited menu. The best food festivals happen in summer: Mistura in September showcases everything from street food to fine dining, while Lima Restaurant Week in April offers deals at top restaurants.
