22 Bay Area Peruvian Restaurants Unite for the 2nd Annual Passport to Peru – A Multi-Week Celebration of Peruvian Cuisine and Culture
Launched by La Mar Cocina Peruana, Passport to Peru invites diners to experience the region’s Peruvian gastronomy by dining around the Bay Area for a chance to win a trip to Peru
Passport to Peru, a multi-week celebration of Peruvian gastronomy across the Bay Area, returns for its second year from July 7 to July 27, 2025. Led by La Mar Cocina Peruana—the acclaimed sea-to-table restaurant from acclaimed Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio, this collaborative culinary initiative encourages diners to experience the diversity and richness of Peruvian cuisine across the Bay Area.
Passport to Peru encourages diners to visit as many of the 22 restaurants as possible during the three-week period, enjoying at least one main dish at each location. Diners will receive custom-designed “passports” when they begin their journey, and a stamp each time they order an entree at a participating restaurant. Diners who collect stamps from at least three participating restaurants will be eligible for a chance to win a trip to Lima, Peru, inclusive of two complimentary round-trip economy plane tickets, a four-night stay, sumptuous lunch experience at La Mar Cebicheria in Lima, and a 10-course dinner at Gastón Acurio’s highly acclaimed restaurant, Astrid & Gastón. The more participants dine, the greater their chances at winning. Participants who dine at five different participating restaurants will receive two entries in the drawing and for every two additional restaurants dined beyond that, guests will receive one additional entry. Participants must drop off their ‘passport’ at La Mar on or before July 27 to be eligible for the grand prize drawing.
