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.
Guests will receive custom-designed “passports” when they begin their journey, collecting a stamp each time they order a main dish at a participating location. Diners who collect stamps from at least three restaurants will be eligible for a chance to win an unforgettable trip to Lima, Peru, inclusive of two complimentary round-trip economy plane tickets, a four-night stay, an exciting excursion to Hacienda La Caravedo, Est. 1684, in Ica, Peru, where you’ll enjoy a VIP tour and tasting of the world’s finest Peruvian Pisco at the oldest distillery in the Americas and a sumptuous lunch experience at La Mar Cebichería in Lima, and a 10-course dinner at Astrid & Gastón, Gastón Acurio’s highly acclaimed flagship restaurant.
The more participants dine, the greater their chances of winning: those who visit five restaurants will receive two entries in the drawing, and for every two additional restaurants visited beyond that, they will receive one additional entry. Participants must drop off their completed passport at La Mar on or before July 27 to be eligible for the grand prize drawing.
