The idea of Llama San started taking shape with a dinner series we hosted at chefs counter
We named it Mr. Roboto. We invited some press and friends and the reception was strong enough that we decided to start working on the restaurant
This pic shows two causa nigiris: one with octopus al olivo (olive mayonnaise) and the other with mackerel. Causa is a Peruvian potato and aji amarillo puree (of sorts) and is perhaps one of the most beloved limeño dishes, but that for one reason or another quite doesn't land with the American palate (in our experience). We are currently running one and many Peruvian restaurants in the U.S. most likely have a beautiful version of it

They say, all good things must come to an end. After almost 6 years in business Llama San will be closing on Saturday June 7
It's been a wonderful ride and a great pleasure to serve you, while showcasing Peruvian ingredients and the magic of Nikkei cuisine
Please stop by during these last few weeks, eat one last ceviche or tonkatsu and maybe drink our bar dry
We also hope you continue to visit us at our new restaurant in Hudson Yards or at our beloved Llama Inn, whether in Brooklyn, London or Madrid
Above all, thanks to our amazing current and past teams, many of whom you will find now at Papa San or Llama Inn: you all created magic out of a little and humble space
Thanks again. The Llamas
