Hello Christchurch - are you ready to taste the best Cuisine in South America?

Peru is interesting in its gastronomy because centuries of Incan culture mixing the immigration from Europe (Spanish, Italian and German Cuisine), Asia (Japanese and China Cuisine) and West Africa have produced a unique blend of food, utilizing chilli peppers, tubers, spices and fish along with native produce.

In fact, PERU has won the best Culinary destination in the World 2018 - title for the 7th consecutive year by the World Travel Awards (WTA) - the Oscar's in Tourism

Join Igor, founder and chef of ex-Andino Peruvian restaurant all the way from Auckland and two Peruvian foodies, Cinthya & Carolina, who love to play around with new flavours made with as much as Peruvian natural ingredients they can to the ONE NIGHT ONLY PERU POP UP RESTAURANT in collab with our family The Caffeine Laboratory Coffee Shop.
