Un bocadito delicioso. In the sophisticated new look Cortile, enjoy a delicious taste of Peru before dinner with a selection of specially crafted bocaditos with a glass of Pisco Sour. Made from a regional brandy, lemon juice and bitters this signature drink has become famous around the world.

Thanks to its Inca heritage and to Spanish, Basque, African, Japanese and finally Italian, French and British immigration, Peruvian cuisine combines the flavours of four continents. With the eclectic variety of traditional dishes, the Peruvian culinary arts are in constant evolution.

Peru has a National Pisco Sour Day which is celebrated on the first Saturday of February.
