Peruvian food is an ever-evolving craft as new locales, new ingredients, and new flavors are being rediscovered and embraced; llama inn aims to purvey this evolution in a modern, comfortable way.
our 70-seat dining room, created by JDF studio, is inspired by the confluence of architectural and artistic influences brought to Peru over many centuries, from its Andean heritage, ideas of modern colonialism, the urban hacienda, and classic Peruvian corner bars. elements of natural wood, concrete, steel, tile, and art were sources from local craftsmen. we also have a rooftop lounge space, with comfy seating and tables for a meal, a snack, or a private experience.
