Lunch in Lima, Served in Delhi! Peruvian Cuisine at Roseate House
There are very few countries where the landscape shapes the palate as vividly as in Peru. From the snow-capped Andes, the lush Amazon, and the coastal bounty of the Pacific, Peru’s geography brings to every Peruvian plate natural abundance from the history of empires, migration, and memory.
What Makes Peruvian Cuisine So Unique?
To understand this cuisine is to travel through multiple indigenous traditions rooted in the Andes. While the Amazon forms the soul of the cuisine, it is anchored by native staples like potatoes, corn, and quinoa. The Spanish, arriving in the 16th century, introduced wheat, rice, and livestock, while African communities brought deep, earthy spices and soulful stews. Later, waves of Chinese, Japanese, and Italian immigrants each layered new ideas onto the culinary canvas. This resulted not in confusion, but a potley of harmony- fresh Ceviche met the salty, deeply savoury soy sauce, Andean grains met crisp Mediterranean vegetables, and fiery ají peppers with delicate seafood. It became a cuisine of duality and depth—local yet global, rustic yet elegant.
From Lima to the World
With celebrated chefs like Gastón Acurio championing its diversity, Peruvian cuisine has quietly climbed the global ladder over the past two decades, and the food scene now rivals that of long-established culinary giants with Lima, once overlooked, has now become a global food capital, with its influence rippling across fine-dining menus and home kitchens alike.
At its heart, though, Peruvian food remains rooted in community and comfort—especially at lunchtime. A lunch menu is always heavy and extensive with a generous meal meant to nourish, gather, and linger over. This is exactly the experience we invite you to at DEL, the best fine dining restaurant at Roseate House New Delhi, offering fusion lunch experiences in New Delhi.
A Peruvian Lunch Affair at Roseate House
This specially curated Sunday brunch, Indigenous Peru on the 8th of June, 2025, celebrates Peru’s rich culinary heritage, reimagined with the finesse of our chefs and the freshness of local ingredients. The spread features both iconic favourites and lesser-known delights, brought together with care and creativity.
The menu will include the best of Peruvian food in Delhi with dishes like Causa Rellena, a layered delicacy of mashed potatoes and spiced vegetables, the Ají de Gallina, a comforting chicken stew in a creamy, spicy pepper sauce—mellow yet memorable.
For our vegetarian guests, the Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Pie is a warm, textural surprise, while the Zucchini and Ricotta Relleno brings softness to the plate. For dolce, we have our hearts set on the Black Rice Pudding, dark and earthy with a whisper of spice becoming a crowd pleaser, or on the Suspiro Limeño—literally “the sigh of a woman from Lima”—a luscious, airy dessert that speaks of romance and nostalgia.
Global Cuisines at Local Tables
At Roseate House New Delhi, amongst the top luxury hotels in Delhi, we have always believed in bringing global flavours to local tables in a way that feels honest and thoughtful. This Peruvian lunch is part of that journey—an invitation to explore traditions from afar, interpreted with care and respect. Through the gentle heat of ají amarillo, or the soft richness of a quinoa pie, each dish offers something familiar yet new.
Food, after all, has a way of transporting us. And through this meal, we hope to offer not just comfort, but a small glimpse into a culture full of warmth, depth, and character.
