"What sets Lady Bee apart from the other trendy bars in town is that Chef Gabriela León, together with her partner and head bartender, Alonso Palomino, has shaped a dining and drinking experience built on local spirits and seasonal ingredients. The space in Barranco was designed with a beehive in mind: undulating textures, warm light, and a demonstrated love for the land, especially the jungle of Tarapoto, where the chef’s roots run deep. Go for the oysters with Amazonian citrus, the smoked tartare, or the scallops with narrow bone and Amazonian chorizo. The ribeye with toasted butter and chamomile flowers is a must, paired with an Oca-Mashua cocktail made with a distillate of red oca." - paola miglio
