Andean and Peruvian cuisine

Our approach

Our cooking starts with the region’s produce: native potatoes, Andean grains, and meats and vegetables from the nearby valleys. From these, we prepare a buffet every day with starters, soups, main courses, side dishes, desserts and hot drinks, so everyone can put together a lunch to their liking.

The buffet format lets us serve large groups quickly without sacrificing variety. Groups on a tight schedule can have lunch and continue their journey in a reasonable amount of time, and those traveling on their own find a quiet place to take a break.

Eating in Marangani is a way to get to know the region through its flavors.
