Upbeat, modern and cool, Llama Inn pays respect to all styles of Peruvian cooking, but with the technical flair of Chef Erik Ramirez who has trained in New York’s top restaurants. The result is a fresh, fun and spontaneous cuisine that aims to elevate Peruvian food. Anticuchos, either the scallop with aji amarillo tartare and crispy capers or the beef hearts with aja panca and rocoto salsa, are packed with flavor, while the ceviche also delivers with an added crunch courtesy of deep-fried plantains. Duck sausage over a bed of cilantro-spiked rice studded with spinach and choclo is another hit. Finish with a slice of their key lime pie. Llamita Inn, their small Manhattan outpost, specializes in Peruvian rotisserie chicken and causa.
