La Mar Doha by Gastón Acurio launches a brand new Yunza Friday Brunch.

Get ready to immerse yourself in a vibrant Peruvian culinary experience!

Join us every Friday for a lively ‘Yunza’ themed brunch at La Mar. This celebration draws inspiration from the traditional Peruvian Yunza festival, an annual event where participants dance around a tree, taking turns to cut it down. Small gifts are attached to the tree, and once felled, these gifts are joyously distributed to all, with the person who cut the tree becoming the sponsor for the next year.

At La Mar, our Friday brunch brings this spirited celebration to Doha with a mini-Yunza. Indulge in a feast of Peruvian specialties and vibrant dishes, including traditional options not typically found on our menu. Experience the unique Yunza Tree dessert and a live station featuring the dessert of the day. The atmosphere will be set ablaze with the sounds of live Latin music from our popular quartet band and performers, creating a cheery ambiance throughout the brunch.

The Yunza Brunch promises a lively Friday afternoon, capturing the festive essence of La Yunza celebrations in Peru. Don’t miss out on this fantastic Peruvian culinary journey!Every Friday from 13:00 – 16:00QAR 295 per person inclusive of soft beverages (minimum of two guests)
