A RESTAURANT
WITH SOUL
In 2012, four talented Peruvian chefs lost their lives in a tragic
car accident. Ivan Kisic – who up to that point was considered
one of Peru’s most promising young chefs – was among those
lost. A year later, his family inaugurated IK, a restaurant named
after him and established with the idea of maintaining his legacy
by always practising and promoting the respect for ingredients,
sustainability, and passion for Andean cuisine.
The restaurant’s philosophy is to share with its guests the glory
of contemporary Peruvian gastronomy, while not straying
from its roots. By using local products and reviving ancestral
culinary techniques, IK has successfully satisfied the palates of
thousands of food lovers from across the globe.
This year, Francesca Ferreyros, who began her culinary career in
stride with Ivan Kisic, has taken over as head chef. Her meticulously
designed tasting menu – which offers five-course, seven-course,
and twelve-course options – brings together coastal, Andean,
and Amazonian influences and ingredients, adding a touch of
international flair without losing its Peruvian essence.
The daily menu at IK is comprised of 20 dishes: appetizers, entrees,
and desserts. Its three ambiances look to calm the senses and
eliminate possible distractions so that guests can focus on the
extraordinary gastronomic experience at hand. With sustainability
as an underlying theme and principal, the main dining room is
decorated with recycled wood and lovely indoor plants.
