During our first day in Lima, Wes and I had lunch at Astrid y Gaston in the Miraflores neighborhood. Apparently owner Gaston Acurio is something of a man about town, Peru’s answer to Emeril.
This was my first taste of authentic cebiche (raw fish marinated with lime juice), and as I marveled at how good it was, I noticed one of the paintings nearby. It looked like something from Diego Rivera’s Cubist period, and damned if it wasn’t signed “Rivera.”
Could it be?
I asked the waiter, who confirmed that it is indeed a Diego original.
Bon appetite!
