Authentic 4 dish
I had an amazing experience at this cooking class in Lima. The chef prepared a ceviche that was fresh and flavorful, a causa with tuna that was light and delicious, and a lomo saltado that was truly top tier, easily one of the best I have ever tried. The pisco sour he taught us to make was strong and memorable, and it added a fun mixology element to the evening. The class gave me a real appreciation for Peruvian cuisine and the chance to learn hands‑on. I had hoped to explore the milk style leche de tigre, but we only covered the simpler lime‑based version. Even so, the dishes were excellent, and I walked away with new skills and a deeper understanding of the flavors of Peru. This is a great experience for anyone who wants more than just dining out—it is authentic, engaging, and unforgettable.

Great activity for anyone at any skill!
Rafael was great at explaining the history, flavours and technique to create each dish. Very good value for money with 3 dishes, 1 drink and 1 desert. You’ll be full afterwards for sure!!

Excellent cooking class in Lima!
I really enjoyed our 4 course cooking class lead by master chef Rafael! He was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English which was very helpful as I don’t speak spanish! The food was authentic, flavourful and very filling! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Lima

This was a great cooking...
This was a great cooking class. I ended up being the only one in the class and had so much delicious food to take with me at the end. I just wish I had the information to make what we made at home.

Best Cooking Class in Peru
Rafael was an incredible teacher and was so very kind. We ended up getting a private class and he the food was lovely! The best lomo soltado in town, and we got to try two other delicious dishes as part of the class

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.
Is Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 168 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour?
+
Around 59 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic 4-dish Peruvian Food Cooking Class in Lima + Pisco Sour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
