The list is completed with Lucio Caffe, Pan Sal Aire, and San Antonio, coffee shops that have won over the public with offerings ranging from brunches and artisanal breads to coffees prepared with specialty techniques. These nominations reflect the growth and sophistication of the Peruvian coffee scene.
What are the Somos Awards?
The Somos Awards are the gastronomic awards of the “Somos” magazine of the “El Comercio” newspaper. They have been given since 2023 as a way to recognize the culinary sector in all its dimensions.

They differ from other awards by being determined by popular vote. It is the public who helps us create a list of winners with their votes, a faithful reflection of what diners seek and want to try.
