My favorite Peruvian restaurant
I've always been curious about Peruvian cuisine. I'd read that Peru is one of the most culinary-diverse countries in the world, and I'd often dreamed of getting lost in its markets, discovering its blend of cultures, and tasting its intense flavors.
But it was here, in the heart of Madrid, where I discovered what that really meant. A friend told me about LLama Inn , a Peruvian restaurant that, she says, transports you to Lima in a single bite. And she was right.
An experience that is touched, smelled and remembered
LLama Inn isn't just a culinary promise. It's design, it's detail, it's emotion.
Every corner is carefully curated. Every table, every plate, every lamp seems to speak the same language: that of respect for what is well done.
And as a ceramist, I can't help but notice what holds the food. The handcrafted dishes, made of dark clay and iridescent glazes, seem designed to embrace each recipe. They're not just a decoration; they're part of the story.
WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL
You could say it's the product, or the balance between tradition and avant-garde. But what really sets LLama Inn apart is respect.
For the roots, for the ingredients, for the diner... and also for the object that holds each plate . In every serving, there is intention. Care. An aesthetic that is felt.
Like when I create a cup: it's not just clay and glaze. It's memory, gesture, and an invitation to pause.
MY ESSENTIALS
Because LLama Inn made me think that just as a meal can transport you to Peru, an object can bring you back home .
Sometimes all we need is a pretty bowl, a lit candle, and something delicious for dinner.
And if that bowl has also been made by hand, with clay and soul, the experience becomes ritual.
