chakana

The name Chakana originates from a symbol used by ancient Peruvian indigenous cultures, the Andean Cross. It signifies the three worlds that exist around us: the world above, the ground we step on and the underworld. Above all it represents individuals living in harmony with each other and their surroundings, especially nature. Peru has 84 Ecosystems & we express this throughout our menus.

OUR RESTAURANT

Situated within the walls of a historical bank, Chakana is a modern Peruvian restaurant from celebrated chef Robert Ortiz.

Robert’s menu is a modern take on traditional Peruvian cuisine. Showcasing bold, unique flavours and ingredients from Peru alongside the best of British produce.

Chakana also features a 8-10 seat private dining room located within the original vault of the bank, please speak to a member of the team for booking enquiries.

The oldest use of the word Pisco dates back to 1764 when the beverage acquired its Quechua (language of the Inca) name from the Peruvian town of Pisco.

Pisco is Peru’s national spirit, made by distilling fermented grapes, eight varieties of grapes can be used in Pisco production therefore three distinct styles of pisco were created. Puro, Mosto Verde, Acholado.

We have categorised our pisco range into their grape varieties and styles.

All our Pisco’s are served as 25ml measure as standard. QUEBRANTA GRAPE PISCO Quebranta is the most popular and widely grown grape in Peru. Quebranta has a special place in Peruvian hearts making up 85% of the grapes they grow.

LA CARAVEDO QUEBRANTA 3.25 Fresh cut grass, red apples and hay with light banana and dried fruit, bright and bold finish.

MACCHU PISCO QUEBRANTA 5.00 Created by two sisters in 2006. Fresh bread, pastry aroma, little bit of spice with a slight herbal, earthy tone and a vanilla pepper finish.

ITALIA GRAPE PISCOS Italia grape is the most highly aromatic and floral grape of the 8 grapes allowed to be used in Peru, producing some of the most wonderfully delicate and floral Piscos.

BARSOL ITALIA 5.00 Huge bouquet of aromas, tropical fruits & flowers. On the palate, lychee, mango, rose, honeysuckle and a touch of violet.

QUIEROLO ITALIA 3.50 Highly aromatic and heady, lots of dark forest fruits, cassis, prune, with a spicy finish and beautiful sherry notes.
