Cocina Peruvia showcases Peruvian cuisine to the Filipino palette

Peruvian cuisine is as diverse as the country’s landscape. The range of climates from its seaside, mountainside, and rainforest areas allow a mix of local fare, depending on where you are. Foreign immigrants have also contributed to the cause, which explains the Italian, Spanish, African, and even Japanese influences to their food.

This unique mix is what makes Peruvian cuisine so enjoyable, and is precisely what Cocina Peruvia highlights. Diners are greeted by the bright and welcoming colours of the restaurant upon entry, which coincidentally is a reflection of the food they are about devour. A look at the menu also shows an array of ingredients and flavours that are sure to tickle one’s tastebuds.

The Ceviche Nikkei, with its raw jackfish, salmon, coconut milk, and citrus, offers a fresh start for one’s meal. The Anticuchos de Salmon and de Corazon de Vaca (beef heart) are also must-tries, dipped with either aji anticucho sauce or chimichurri. For the main course, choose either the Linguine Con Carbonara or the Arroz Con Mariscos for a mix of fresh seafood, and try the Lomo Soltado for flavourful beef tenderloin. Not to miss are their own concocted beverages and their dark chocolate dessert, Galera de Chocolate.
