Alicante, a sun-kissed Mediterranean city where sea breeze meets vibrant streets, has welcomed a new culinary beacon that whisks diners straight to Peru’s rich flavors. Artesana Cocina Peruana, dedicated to authentic Peruvian cuisine, has captivated locals and visitors with its distinctive menu and recently opened a second location in San Juan Beach.
Nestled in the heart of the city, along Calle Campos Vasallos in the lively market district, Artesana Cocina Peruana has earned a special place among food lovers. The new venue on Avenida Santander in Playa de San Juan makes it easier for more people to savor traditional Peruvian dishes and the culinary heritage behind them.
Peruvian gastronomy, celebrated worldwide for its diversity and depth, finds a welcoming home at Artesana Cocina Peruana. Signature dishes include ceviche, the bright and citrusy fish dish marinated in lime, paprika, and spices that feels like a coastal voyage with every bite. Lomo saltado, a sizzling beef dish with onions, tomatoes, and French fries, pleases palates across generations.
The menu also welcomes the clásica causa Lima, a dish of yellow mashed potatoes with yellow pepper, lemon, and a blend of secret ingredients, along with huancaina noodles, pasta bathed in a creamy yellow pepper sauce and fresh cheese. Each plate showcases the vibrant spectrum of Peruvian flavors, offering options for every taste and mood.
Beyond the main courses, the beverage selection enriches the dining experience. Peruvian classics like Pisco Sours are crafted to order, complementing meals with a bright balance of aromatics and citrus. For those preferring non-alcoholic options, chicha morada and the refreshing Inka Kola provide satisfying alternatives that highlight Peru’s culinary culture.
Artesana Cocina Peruana aims to take guests on a culinary tour of Peru without leaving Alicante. Every dish is prepared with care and respect for traditional recipes handed down through generations, translating centuries of cooking into modern plates that delight today’s diners.
Whether visitors opt for the cozy downtown location or choose to dine by the sea at the San Juan Beach site, Artesana Cocina Peruana promises an unforgettable culinary experience.
