Apus Festines y Fieras

Apus Festines y Fieras is a culinary destination inspired by Andean cosmology, Peruvian ingredients, and cultural traditions. Founded by Carlos Caballero, the brand presents its approach as “gastroarchaeology”: a way of revisiting history and native flavors through imaginative food and sensory experiences. Its kitchen combines regional produce with contemporary techniques, including foams, airs, and gelifications, to create distinctive dishes that challenge familiar ideas of dining.

The restaurant offers themed tasting experiences, with menus featuring river fish, smoked pork, beef cheek, confit duck, corn, arracacha, avocado, huacatay, coca, and native fruits. Dishes pair these ingredients in inventive forms, such as crisp papers, flavored oils, purées, and aromatic foams. Desserts also draw on regional produce, including cherimoya, aguaymanto, cacao, lulo, and passion fruit. The experience is designed as a culinary journey, connecting food with Andean stories, symbolism, and ritual. Selected wines are matched to the menus, and guests can explore the offerings and make reservations through the brand’s website.
