INKA Peruvian Kitchen & Pisco House brings the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon of Peru to the heart of downtown New Orleans.

In Lima, the sea is the Pacific. In New Orleans, it’s the Gulf. We cook redfish, blue crab and Gulf shrimp in recipes Lima has made for centuries, with the same technique, the same acid and the same ají.

Peru’s coast, Andes and Amazon all meet in Lima’s kitchen, along with the cooks who arrived and never left. Spain brought the lime. Africa brought the embers of the anticucho. Canton brought the wok, and Japan the fine cut of the tiradito. Each left a technique, not a menu. That’s mestizaje, not fusion.

This is Peru's story. And on Poydras Street — in a city that wrote its own version of the exact same story — it feels less like an introduction and more like a homecoming.

THE SPACE

  • A key lime margarita
  • A classic old fashioned cocktail
  • A martini cocktail with olives
  • Colorful mural depicting Peruvian landscape with mountains, terraces, and agriculture; two women in traditional clothing with hats in the foreground; a llama with a decorative blanket; a flying condor; bright flowers and vegetables; the word 'Peru' and phrases in Spanish about the land and people.
  • A glass of a scotch on the rocks
La carta · La barra

Peru on the plate.
Peru in the glass.

The kitchen tells Peru on the plate, and the bar keeps telling it in the glass. Start with a ceviche, add something from the charcoal and the wok, and a pisco to carry it all.
