From Coast to Amazon
Pacific Coast
The immense Pacific coast crashing against the desert mirage
Andes Mountains
Some of the tallest peaks in the world reaching into the clouds
Amazon Rainforest
The dense, lush Amazon teeming with biodiversity
Over centuries, the original inhabitants of Peru created an array of dishes from this tremendous biodiversity. The cuisine has continued to evolve with the myriad of cultures who have come to call the country home – Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, African, and others.
Meet Our Founders
Chef Jose Luis Chavez
Co-Founder & Executive Chef
Since his childhood, Chef Jose Luis Chavez has had an almost insatiable desire for adventure and vigor for life.
After graduating from high school, he made a few attempts at pursuing university, but ultimately required a different pace that led him to the culinary world. It was at a restaurant in Merida, Venezuela, where he was raised high in the Andes, that he first made his way into a kitchen.
Within a year, he was traveling to Peru, the land of his father, who originates from Rioja, San Martin, a region of the jungle. During that time, not only did he commence culinary school, but he moved in with his family and discovered the joy of shared meals over platters of ceviche and other delicious food.
Born and raised in the French Alps to an Italian father and French mother, Brice Mastroluca is a visionary entrepreneur with over 20 years of fine dining experience.
From Morton's, China White, and Momo's of London to Opia, and Jean George's The Mark of New York, Brice has served as a chef, sommelier, mixologist, and general manager, mastering every aspect of the hospitality industry.
