Owner Isabel Álvarez and executive chef Flavio
Solórzano, respectively mother and son, have
brought into El Señorío de Sulco a long
family tradition of fine cooking. Their cuisine both
recovers and preserves the authenticity of Peruvian
dishes, and combines local flavours and tastes with
modern culinary techniques to create original recipes
that, anyway, maintain a strong Peruvian stamp.
One
good -and exquisite- example of their gastronomic recovery
efforts is the pre-Hispanic Huatia Sulcana, beef stewed
in a clay pot and covered with fresh aromatic herbs.
The restaurant is named after the Inca town Sulco, which
comprised a large fraction of Lima -including Surco,
Barranco, Surquillo, part of the district of Conchán
and Miraflores-, and was afterwards renamed by the Spanish
conquistadors as El Señorío de Sulco (The
Lordship of Sulco).
Located
on the cliffs that overlook the ocean, the restaurant
comprises a fine piano bar in which Pisco, Peru's national
drink, is used in a wide variety of drinks.
