Located in the heart of Hong Kong, ICHU recreates the convivial experience you find when dining in local Lima restaurants. Launched in 2018, this is celebrated chef, Virgilio Martinez’s first restaurant in Asia.

The restaurant celebrates the contemporary Peruvian cuisine in a relaxed, bistro-style setting with its menu showcasing authentic flavours while honouring local culinary traditions.

The menu includes appetiser Pargo al Rocoto featuring a thinly-sliced snapper with celeriac, avocado and aji rocoto, and Ceviche Clásico, a punchy dish comprising snapper, choclo, red onion and sweet potato.

Signature starters include Palta Quemada, a light combination of charred avocado, aji limo, tomato and cassava, or the flavourful Tartar de Lomo con Maiz using premium wagyu beef striploin and a combination of corn, carob molasses and scallions. Another must-try dish is Pez Amazonia with sea bass infused with the smoky aroma of ashed leaves.
