Macambo

Contemporary Peruvian · Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona · €€€

Chef Roberto Sihuay's contemporary Peruvian haute cuisine celebrating Peru's diversity beyond ceviche. Named after an Amazonian fruit meaning 'food of the gods.' Refined shareable plates, imported Peruvian ingredients, and standout desserts by the chef's sisters.

The Delekta Review

Roberto Sihuay opened Macambo on Carrer de Laforja in upper Barcelona to do something the city's Peruvian scene badly needed: haute Peruvian cuisine that goes beyond ceviche. The name comes from the Amazonian fruit meaning 'food of the gods,' and the cooking honours the promise. Sihuay imports ingredients directly from Peru — ají amarillo, rocoto, Amazonian cacao — and builds plates that reach across Peru's extraordinary biodiversity: coastal ceviches and tiraditos, Andean causas, Amazonian-inflected mains. The technique is precise, the shareable format intimate, and the desserts — made by the chef's sisters — close the meal with genuine personality. Prices sit in the €€€ range and the room feels confident without overreaching. For anyone who thinks they know Peruvian food from the neighbourhood cevichería, Macambo recalibrates expectations.
