CHECA — Contemporary Peruvian Restaurant in Södermalm, Stockholm

Peruansk restaurang på Södermalm

CHECA är en peruansk restaurang och piscobar på Åsögatan 176, mitt i SoFo på Södermalm – två minuter från Nytorget. Här lagar vi genuin peruansk mat från grunden: ceviche, tiradito, lomo saltado, grillad bläckfisk och små rätter, tillsammans med pisco sour och cocktails på peruansk pisco.

Slå dig ner i baren för en ceviche och en drink, eller boka bord i salongen för en hel köksupplevelse. Grundaren Valentin Checas rätter är inspirerade av barndomsminnen från Peru, havet och mormors kök.

Öppet tisdag–lördag från 17:00. Välkommen!
