A two course meal for 1.25 Steem! Welcome to the typical Peruvian lunch menu.
If you are not too fussy about what you want for lunch whilst in Peru. Ask about for the best menu combo in town. Usually it will cost about 5-12 soles for a two course lunch meal and a drink. The five soles menu is getting harder and harder to find. And quite frankly I don't know how they even make money from it.
Usually the restaurant will have their different menu combos displayed for street view. Being in Lobitos where things can get quite quiet, people don't expect much and happy just with the option of a 10S/. menu.
Also that makes it interesting in the sense that there is always something different. Also with the menu it is guaranteed to come out to you quick.
Tip: if everyone in the restaurant is on the menu combo, avoid ordering a la carte. The menu combo is made to fly out the kitchen door. Anything else will have to be made from scratch and will take more time.... careful if you are super hungry!
Today I decided to visit a local haunt for the lunch time menu combo: El Ancla.
I just read @yesslife 's post on her restaurant review and it motivated me to do the same. I quickly located a 10 Soles note (1.25 Steem) and headed down the road.
Alright! I am in luck. The restaurant is open and the menu dishes have just finished cooking.
On the menu today is a fish soup as a starter and steamed fish for the main. This is going to be epic!
Literally had I placed my order and the soup is on my table. It is piping hot and the smells are getting me excited. I squeezed the slice of lime into the soup, mixed it round and went for it.
The soup was made of fish broth, potato, bell pepper, pumpkin, carrot, pasta, garlic etc. All of which went down a treat.
Ok, onto the main course.
I had to guide this plate down to my table, it was nearly spilling over, there was so much of it. Where do I start.. fooooood. So there were two steamed fish (bones included), lentils, rice, salad, mash plantains and chili sauce.
Ok, who called half the cats in the village!? I have a plate of fish on the table and I am being circled by some very inquisitive cats.
They had no chance until I had finished and they could have what was left: not much, just bones and skin.
