One of the many perks of living in Toronto is that we have access to such a wide variety of cuisines. From Indian to Ethiopian to Mexican and beyond, Toronto really has it all, making it easy to stay on top of the hottest cuisine trends. If you’ve been keeping up to date with Toronto’s food scene on social media lately, chances are you’ve heard that Peruvian cuisine is well-loved. Last year’s Forbes World’s Best Restaurant was located in Peru and influencers have continued to love Peruvian superfoods. As we continue to prioritize our health with every bite this year, it’s such a privilege to have access to Peruvian superfoods around the city.
From quinoa to maca, Toronto is bursting with easily accessible Peruvian food for busy days and even elevated Peruvian experiences for those special nights out.
