Restaurant Menu Prices in Peru

Menus and prices for 20 chains in PEN (S/), each with the source we used and the date we last checked it.

Food & dining

Peru is, alongside Mexico, one of the most internationally celebrated culinary traditions in the world — Lima has repeatedly placed restaurants at the very top of global "best restaurant" rankings. Ceviche, raw fish cured in citrus, is the national dish. Chifa — Peruvian-Chinese fusion food, born from 19th-century Cantonese immigration — is a fully distinct, deeply embedded category of its own, not a niche import; lomo saltado, a beef stir-fry served with fries and rice, is its best-known dish and a clear example of Chinese technique meeting local ingredients. Pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) is the country's dominant fast-casual format, with intense competition between rival chains like Norky's, Roky's, Pardos Chicken, and Don Belisario.

Typical prices

How much does fast food cost in Peru?

Here's what everyday orders typically cost at chains in Peru, worked out from the menus on this site. "Typical" is the middle price of the matching items, so half cost less and half cost more. No chain counts more than four times, so one long menu can't decide the answer. Prices last updated September 2026.

Eating out guide

Eating out in Peru: prices, chains and what to expect

How much does eating out cost in Peru?

Peru is famous for its food, and its chain scene reflects that. Instead of only burgers, you'll find rotisserie chicken, ceviche, Peruvian-Chinese food and towering sandwiches.

Across the 120 items we track for 20 Peruvian chains, the middle price is S/25.45, about $7.50. The cheapest real menu item we list is an S/2.50 "Gran Pan Francés" at El Chinito, roughly 75 cents. The dearest is an S/313 "Big Combo" of nine large pizzas at Papa John's, which is a party order.

A single-person meal at a chain is usually S/10 to S/30 on our lists. A ceviche at Segundo Muelle starts at S/45.

Which chains are cheapest, and which cost the most?

If you rank chains by the middle price of the items we list, quick-service and rotisserie chains sit at the bottom.

Cheapest end: McDonald's (about S/12.40), Pardos Chicken (about S/13.90), El Chinito (about S/15.50), Bembos (about S/18.18) and Chinawok (about S/18.90).

Priciest end: Segundo Muelle (about S/52), Papachos (about S/46.50), Pizza Hut (about S/33.95), Carnívoro (about S/32.90) and Tori Pollería (about S/28.90).

Some chains list a mix of drinks, sides and family combos, so their middle price can look lower or higher than a typical meal. Compare like with like.

Which Peruvian chains are home-grown?

Peru's chain scene is unusually local, and several chains come from famous chefs.

  • Bembos began in Miraflores, Lima, in 1988 and is Peru's most iconic home-grown burger chain.
  • Norky's dates from 1976 and is one of the oldest pollo a la brasa chains.

  • La Lucha Sangucheria and El Chinito are classic Lima sandwich shops, known for lomo and chicharrón.
  • Chinawok serves chifa, Peruvian-Chinese food.

What do the Peruvian menu words mean?

  • Pollo a la brasa: chicken roasted over charcoal, usually served with fries and salad.

Is tax included in Peruvian menu prices?

Yes. Menu prices include IGV, Peru's 18% sales tax. What you see on the menu is what you pay, though some sit-down restaurants add a service charge, so check the bill.

Do you have to tip in Peru?

No. Tipping isn't compulsory, but it's appreciated at sit-down restaurants, where about 10% is a common gesture for good service. Check the bill first, because some restaurants add a service charge already. At fast-food counters and sandwich shops, no tip is expected. Our tip calculator helps you work out a percentage.

Are delivery apps more expensive in Peru?

Often. Apps such as Rappi and PedidosYa can show higher prices than the counter, and they add delivery fees. Some of our Peruvian prices come from delivery listings. Use our delivery markup calculator to see the real extra cost.

How can you save money eating out in Peru?

  1. Order the chicken menu. Roky's quarter chicken set is S/9.90, and Norky's quarter chicken is S/20.00.
  2. Try a sánguche. A Don Belisario Sánguche Universitario is S/9.90.
  3. Compare combos. A Bembos Clásica is S/18.18, and the Combo Clásica is S/27.80.
  4. Share family combos. They cost less per person.
  5. Collect instead of delivery. You'll skip app fees.

How accurate are these prices?

Peruvian chains rarely publish one national menu. Prices vary by city and by location, and delivery apps often differ from the counter. Our figures come mostly from a menu-price website and delivery listings, checked in late August and early September 2026.

Treat each price as a good, representative guide rather than a promise about your local restaurant. Each menu page shows when we last verified it, and you can read how we work on our methodology page.
