The restaurant Ugo Chan, brand new Tapas Magazine’s T de Oro award in Madrid, makes the international leap with the New York restaurant Llama San, a Nikkei, Japanese-Peruvian, luxury restaurant run by chef Erik Ramirez. The special event will take place on May 1 and reservations are already open with a $200 menu. We tell you all the details below.
In the last year, the Madrid chef has established his omakase as one of the reference proposals in the capital: his fish of the day kizukuri with Getaria-style bilbaína, mussel sunomono, tripe gyoza Madrid style and a wine cellar that Leticia takes care of just as well as the dining room, are some of the reasons. Now Muñoz will bring the essence of Ugo Chan to the Big Apple through a special collaboration with the prestigious restaurant Llama San.
Special tasting menu
For this occasion, Hugo Muñoz has prepared a 7-course tasting menu that can be enjoyed both indoors and on the heated terrace. In addition, there will also be the option of a 4-course tasting menu only available at the restaurant’s bar. The full menu is priced at $200 per person and beverage pairings are also available. Reservations are now open through Resy.
The Llama San team has chosen Hugo Muñoz, highlighting him as one of the best chefs in Spain today, thanks to his wonderful proposal at Ugo Chan, which he describes as an exploration of Japanese cuisine and its ties to the world. Something that fits perfectly with the philosophy of Llama San, a Peruvian izakaya where Peruvian art and light wood accessories reminiscent of Japan’s minimalist aesthetics blend with a mix of coastal flavors. There, chef Erik Ramirez draws inspiration from his Japanese grandmother to explore this influence of Japanese culture in his native Peru.
The chef from Madrid has expressed his enthusiasm for this international leap and, like a rock star, has promised to “play as loud as we can”.
