Awards: Repsol Solete
Open since 2021
Pueblo Libre is Pablo Ortega's Peruvian taberna on Sepúlveda 151, named for the Lima district where he grew up and built on the recipes of his grandmother Mamá Lucha and Don Pedrito, a naval cook. Open around five years, the kitchen runs on slow-simmered fondos and real ajíes — no reinterpretation.
The Delekta Review
Peruvian home cooking — slow-simmered fondos and sofritos, ajíes, meats, and seafood, prepared without reinterpretation Pisco-led cocktail program — pisco sour and chilcano de pisco at €8
Compact Peruvian taberna on Sepúlveda — informal, neighbourhood in register, the kind of place where slow-simmered fondos fill the room.
Ceviche limeño / ceviche de corvina (€17) Ají de gallina Causa de pulpa de cangrejo (€14); causa cóctel de langostinos Tacu tacu con seco de churrasco (€17); arroz con pato (€17) Ossobuco estofado; helado de lúcuma for dessert
Chef Pablo Ortega previously ran the kitchen at Ceviche 103 before opening this taberna Named after Pueblo Libre, the Lima district where Ortega grew up Recipes anchored in his grandmother (Mamá Lucha / Luisa) and Don Pedrito, a naval cook focused on aprovechamiento and flavor Opened around 2021, in the former Due Spaghi space
