Experts' Choice Award L'eau Vive
What the experts agree on
L'eau Vive pairs French-Peruvian cuisine with a unique twist—nuns run the kitchen, and dinner guests are treated to Ave Maria serenades. Signature dishes like cognac-trout and duck in orange sauce draw locals back repeatedly.
“Go for dinner and be serenaded by a chorus of Ave Maria – no joke. But lest you be scared off by the religious undertones, not everything is prudish.”
