L’Égoïste Bar & Restaurant celebrates Peruvian cuisine with 7 course-menu

L’Égoïste Bar & Restaurant will embark on a culinary journey to Peru with two very special dinners, on March 28 and 29. This gastronomic experience will be led by 3 Portuguese chefs and one Peruvian.

Known for its fusion of Spanish, African, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese cuisines, the Peruvian gastronomy will surprise guests with dinners ate the L’Égoïste Bar & Restaurant, located in the Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel, on March 28th and 29th. This gastronomic event is a seven-course dinner in tribute to the country.

The dinners will be a collaboration in 8 hands. This exclusive menu is a cooperation between 4 chefs: Miguel Pinto, Executive Chef of L’Égoïste Bar & Restaurant, Ricardo Tiago, Executive Pastry Chef of L’Égoïste Bar & Restaurant, Miguel Rocha Vieira, Head Chef responsible for the gastronomic concepts at AHM – Ace Hospitality Management, and Juan Carlos Perret, Executive Chef of Kero Restaurant, in Vigo.

The experience begins with a selection of canapés and beverages. The welcoming table service features a bread and lime butter and Patacón Amazónico, a delicacy made from fried slices of green banana.

For the first course, guests will be served a salmon tiradito, sliced sashimi-style and drizzled with sudachi sauce, giving a fresh and acid taste. It follows a sea bass ceviche with a classic Peruvian dish: rocoto leche de tigre, yuzu, and glazed sweet potato. Next comes the causa rellena with chicken, served with lime and olives in a casserole-style presentation, and a traditional Peruvian-style red snapper sudado.

For dessert, there will be crème brûlée made with lucuma, pisco sour, and cocoa—an innovative combination of ingredients, textures, and aromas.
