Seasonal Peruvian dishes & Latin cocktails with Japanese flair























"A 10-year-old Williamsburg restaurant closing on Sunday, December 20, this spot drew attention for its Peruvian fare after opening in 2015. In a 2016 New York Times review, Pete Wells wrote that “the roast whole chicken, with smoke in its meat and blackened chile rub on its skin, isn’t so much an alteration of the Peruvian standard as an intensification,” and that he’d “enjoy meeting regularly with this chicken.” It later landed No. 76 on the Times’ best NYC restaurants of 2024, and Erik Ramirez was a James Beard Outstanding Chef finalist for the restaurant in 2023." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Perched on The Hoxton’s rooftop, TheLlama Inn serves Peruvian cuisine and pisco sours, a rooftop addition that amplifies the hotel’s appeal by offering distinct flavours and a lively dining-counterpoint to the property below." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"The original Williamsburg restaurant opened in 2015 and remains part of the group’s lineup, with additional outposts the team still operates in Brooklyn, London, and Madrid. It served as the earlier foundation from which the higher-end Manhattan location later rolled out in 2019." - Melissa McCart
"Llama Inn works for all sorts of different situations, and it’s not impossible to get into—so we find ourselves recommending it to people all the time. The very good Peruvian food, which you eat in a relaxed dining room full of plants and natural light, ranges from ceviche to beef tenderloin covered in french fries. And if you need another reason to plan your next double date or group dinner here, know that there’s an excellent rooftop patio situation as well." - team infatuation

"A modern Peruvian restaurant in Williamsburg whose team is opening another spot this month; the restaurant is the origin point for the group’s exploration of Peruvian Nikkei flavors referenced in the new Hudson Yards izakaya." - Nadia Chaudhury
