At Ichu, they celebrate Peruvian dishes in a welcoming, casual, 'shared' setting. Their intention is to showcase traditional ingredients and no-fuss cooking techniques as well as Peru’s dining culture. Local comfort food, using good quality ingredients, works well with the informal, casual setting, liaising closely with Virgilio Martinez in his award-winning restaurant in Lima.
Award-winning designer Joyce Wang has drawn inspiration from Peru’s landscape and Martinez’s culinary style, featuring richly textured materials and raw finishes to evoke Peru’s changing topography and dynamic ecosystem. The vibrant colours and inventive flourishes capture Martinez’s progressive culinary style.
