Pisco Sour

Craft Peru’s national cocktail to velvety perfection — pisco, fresh lime, simple syrup, and egg white foam, topped with aromatic bitters.

Classic Ceviche

Sustainably sourced fish cubed and “cooked” in fresh lime juice, tossed with red onion, cilantro, and cancha for textural contrast.

Causa Limeña

Delicate layers of seasoned potato terrine, brightened with lime and ají amarillo, filled with your choice of chicken or avocado.

Anticuchos de Corazón

Beef-heart skewers, marinated in spices and grilled to smoky tenderness.

Ají de Gallina

Tender shredded chicken bathed in a velvety, mildly spicy yellow-ají sauce, served over jasmine rice.

Suspiro a la Limeña

Rich caramel-style dulce de leche topped with silky, port-infused meringue — Peru’s iconic melt-in-your-mouth dessert.

Bottled Water

Stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the experience.

Fresh Tropical Juices

Pressed from seasonal fruits like passionfruit, mango, or pineapple — bright, zesty, and refreshing.

Nuts

A crunchy, savory snack to balance your drinks — simple, wholesome, and satisfying.

via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0

...The instructor made it feel like we were cooking with a friend, not taking a class. The fire, the Pisco Sour, the way he explained every ingredient — it all added up to something that felt genuinely Peruvian rather than put together for tourists. We cooked well, ate well, and left with recipes we're actually going to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this BBQ class worth booking instead of just going to a steakhouse?

This is much more than eating grilled meat. You’ll learn the techniques, cuts, traditions, and social rituals behind local barbecue with a host who helps you understand the culture, not just the food.

What if my plans change?

We know travel plans can shift. That’s why we offer flexible support, including rescheduling whenever possible, and many bookings also qualify for free cancellation depending on the platform’s policy.

Who leads the class?

Your class is led by a local host with strong knowledge of regional barbecue traditions, ingredients, and grilling techniques. Depending on the experience, your host may be a chef, grill master, or local food expert.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We can usually adapt for most dietary needs if you let us know in advance, including vegetarian, pescatarian, and dairy-free requests when the format allows. The main exception is strict gluten-free or celiac requirements, since we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

Is this a small-group class?

Yes. Our classes are designed for small groups of up to 12 guests, which keeps the experience more personal, social, and hands-on.

Is this experience right for me?

It’s perfect for curious travelers, meat lovers, and anyone who wants a more interactive and local alternative to simply going out for dinner.

Where does the class start, and is it easy to get there?

After booking, our booking manager will send you clear directions, the exact meeting point, and arrival tips. In most cases, it’s very easy to reach by Uber.
