Chicha: Peruvian restaurant
From White Rabbit Family

Peru for us

On the wall of the new restaurant of Boris Zarkov hangs a copy of the “Virgin Mary with the Child”, brought from Lima, by an unknown artist of the Cusco school. She has the plump face of a sleepy village beauty and a dress with unusual Palekh rosaries, and the baby’s linen Vologda curls. The designer hardly thought about such parallels, but the unexpected closeness of Peru and Russia, which is read in the menu compiled by Vladimir Mukhin, can not but strike the eye
Chicha is by no means the first Peruvian cuisine restaurant in Moscow. For six years, Nobu, whose creator, Nobu Matsuhisa, is known for the cuisine of Japanese emigrants in Peru – nikke. In the bar The Ritz-Carlton O2 from the spring they cook Peruvian cuisine – all these ceviche, tiradito, lomo saltado, chaufa, cousa. In general, people could dial the necessary culinary vocabulary even without a trip to Peru, to understand the traffic light of rocoto (red), amarillo (yellow) and jalapeno (green), important for this kitchen, to learn the subtleties of the influence of Creoles, Japanese and Chinese on the Peruvian bowler And look at Chicha not through the eyes of a shivering food-student, but at least a bachelor.
