Mauka is devoted to rescuing lost ingredients and reviving endangered crops. Every single variety of grain, herb, or edible plant speaks to a wider, palpable history: an emotional journey through an ecosystem and culture.
At our Cusco restaurant, each of Chef Pía León’s signature dishes is devoted to an ethos of delicious, serendipitous and meaningful locality. Think Andean mashwa paired with local trout, traditional chuño with alpaca, or the freshest ceviche elevated with native onions and zesty tangerine. This is not just somewhere to taste, but to learn.
