This highly-acclaimed restaurant has been a top destination for Peruvian cuisine in NYC since opening in 2015. At Llama Inn, Peruvian-American chef Erik Ramirez (Eleven Madison Park, Nuela) offers a menu known for its creativity and impressive presentations with items like the Fluke Tiradito, a ceviche with chirimoya, tapioca, winter citrus, huacatay; Quinoa with bacon, cashew, avocado, and banana; Meat Skewers; larger shareable dishes like Whole Bronzino Patarashca and Beef Tenderloin Stir Fry; and more. If you find yourself borough hopping and in Greenwich Village, be sure to check out their sister spot, Llama San.

It may be easier to see Erik Ramirez’s creative streak at his other restaurant, Llama San in Greenwich Village, where he free-associates on the ways Japanese and Peruvian food do, or potentially might, intersect. At Llama Inn he mostly sticks with translating traditional dishes — beef-heart anticuchos, scallop ceviche — into modern restaurant terms. But he works well when he’s staying within the lines, and there’s no question that the space in Brooklyn is roomier and more comfortable, despite being a truncated triangle under the B.Q.E.

Beneath the BQE, first-generation Peruvian-American chef Erik Ramirez serves up New Peruvian 101 with breakfast hybrids like the beef tenderloin stir-fry with fried egg, banana, French fries and rocoto crema, or the Swiss chard empanada with lime. The rooftop lounge provides the perfect perch for brunch dining al fresco.

Right down the road from Lilia is chef Erik Ramirez’s Peruvian-fusion Llama Inn (also a NYT Critics’ Pick), which features an industrial-style wood-and-metal front door that was salvaged from Peru. Just on the other side of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway is Kings County Imperial, a dreamy throwback hideaway that serves both classic mai tais and homemade soy sauce on tap. The menu includes Chinese classics aplenty, while the space is dimly lit with Edison bulbs and furnished with simple steel dining chairs and handmade-in-Brooklyn barstools.

You might even want to order some oysters — or save your appetite for the unforgettable Peruvian menu at Llama Inn, tucked nearby under the BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway). The restaurant is right on trend with bleached woods, plenty of succulents, and a shared plate mentality but the food is its own universe. Sure, there’s quinoa and sweetbread, but the former is tossed with banana, avocado, bacon, and cashews and the latter is paired with raisin chimichurri. If you’re with a crowd, don’t miss the signature beef tenderloin stir fry.

Llama Inn is a warm open space with a fun, night-on-the-town feel. Their cuisine encompasses all things Peru, including ceviche, our famous lomo saltado, Cancha and other unique Peruvian fair. Their cocktail and spirit list hail from Peru with none other than pisco being the star of the show and a creative cocktail menu with unique takes on the classics from around the globe, while the wine lists breathes Spain and Latin America with options by the glass and bottle to titillate any palate.

There’s no indication that this bright, airy spot located on a pretty dodgy looking road serves up Peruvian food but that’s exactly what it does. It’s not authentic Peruvian food, nor does it pretend to be but with a chef whose CV includes Eleven Madison Park and Nuela it’s safe to say even the more unusual combos taste delicious. There’s a killer cocktail list to boot and having opened in November 2015 and become a staple on the local dining scene it’s busy even on a Monday night.

If Brooklyn and Peru had a baby it would resemble something like the Llama Inn!. This Latin-American-inspired restaurant has been touted as a hidden gem among the streets of Williamsburg, located right near a small hotel and freeway overpass on Withers Street. As you walk in, you're immediately greeted by art with bright, vibrant colors against a cheery white background and tables surrounding a chic central bar, but the rooftop terrace is the true star of the show.

Until we can move into a place with our own private terrace, this cozy Williamsburg rooftop will tide us over and keep us happy with charred octopus ceviche and refreshing drinks like the Llama Del Rey (pisco, rum, red wine, chicha morada, lime, grilled pineapple, pink peppercorn). Stop by for dinner or weekend brunch at this Michelin Bib Gourmand—meaning it offers refined cuisine at a more affordable price. 50 Withers St., Brooklyn; llamainn.com

If you’re looking to start your day with a bang (or an El Chapo cocktail with tequila, pisco, and Cocchi), you’ll want to visit Peruvian hotspot Llama Inn. Aim for a breezy, sun-drenched rooftop table, but know that the ceviche alone is good enough to make a seat at the bar worth your while, too. Llama Inn’s beverage program is full of tropical cocktails that make good use of rum, mezcal, and sherry, and taste as good as they look.

Located just a stone's throw from Lilia is Llama Inn, an homage to Peruvian small plates. Chef Erik Ramirez — formerly of Eleven Madison Park — churns out impressive takes on traditional skewers (anticucho) and ceviche, as well as what might be the finest lomo saltado (beef stir-fry made with everything but the kitchen sink, including fries) in New York City. Floor-to-ceiling windows make for ample natural lighting.

For incredibly Peruvian food, head to the Llama Inn in Williamsburg, definitely one of the best Brooklyn restaurants. I love their creative and unique dishes, not to mention some of the best cocktails. The space itself is also something to be desired with dimly-lit interiors and a wraparound bar in the center of the restaurant but the real highlight is the rooftop bar that is filled with plants.

This Williamsburg Peruvian eatery offers a stunning atmosphere, but more importantly, delicious pisco sours (a traditional cocktail of Peruvian origin). I came here after dinner at Traif to meet friends and in addition to our cocktails, we tried one of the most memorable desserts I’ve had in a long time: Palo Santo flavored ice cream.

Williamsburg isn’t short of adventurous cuisines, and Llama Inn is the perfect example. Its beautiful plant-filled dining room is a great spot to experience Peruvian cuisine with a twist. You’ll find typical dishes such as ceviche, but the Cau Cau with Mussel Toast and the Beef Stir Fry are really the winners here.

One of the best restaurants in Brooklyn for Peruvian food, Llama Inn is a highly sought-after destination that specializes in authentic shareable dishes and flavorful cocktails. This trendy Brooklyn restaurant can get quite crowded during peak dinner hours, so it’s recommended that you make a reservation.

Are you looking for a romantic-feel restaurant but don’t know where to go?. LIama Inn promises to win your heart!. Candle lit, greenery, dim lights, and just an overall cozy and intimate feel.

Llama Inn: Though Peruvian, Llama Inn's sharing plates and vibrant atmosphere make it a great choice for those looking for a tapas-style dining experience.

At #70, Llama Inn (50 Withers St.) is the home of Chef Erik Ramirez, who was recently named a James Beard Award finalist for Outstanding Chef.
