Lonely Planet review for Tanta
One of several informal bistros run by celebrity super-chef Gastón Acurio, Tanta serves Peruvian dishes, fusion pastas, heaping salads and sandwiches. Accompanying the encyclopedic menu is a list of house cocktails – such as the ‘cholopolitan, ’ made with pisco, Cointreau, lime and cranberry juices – and a wine list strong on vintages from South America (from S46 per bottle). The food is good (if overpriced), but the desserts are better: don’t leave without trying the heavenly passion fruit cheesecake mousse.
