Peruvian Cuisine

Is widely regarded as one of the most delicious and diverse in the world. Over the last few years its profile has been on the rise due to recognition of our unique ingredients, flavors, and fusions, typical of our country. Thanks to Peru´s immense biodiversity, traditional dishes draw on a wide variety of fresh ingredients, from the constant supply of fresh fish to the tasty native grains, fruits and vegetables.

Historically Peru has a varied range of influences, both geographical and cultural. Our food still maintains true to dishes prepared in pre-Incan times and onwards to include fusions with dishes prepared during colonial times of the Spanish, Italians, Japanese, Chinese, Africans, and French. All of these factors have contributed to the richness and diversity of modern-day Peruvian cuisine.

We love exquisite food and have been fortunate to have to opportunity to share our great passion with our guests for over six years. We invite you to participate in this wonderful culinary experience. No previous experience is needed, just the desire to learn and have fun!!
