And now for Dessert

Here is the dessert menu as promised:
This is a Dome of Bitter Chocolate.

Pisco confit quince pudding stuffed with purple corn and pineapple crisp.  Pisco is a well-known alcoholic drink.

And the third and final offering is Rice Pudding Pastry.

What are you going to drink?  I have already mentioned Pisco, but how about something non-alcoholic?


This is my all time favourite drink.  Inca Kola is a really delicious Cola that easily outsells Coke and Pepsi in Peru, with the result that Coca-Cola ended up buying it.  It was actually invented by an English couple,José Robinson Lindley and his wife Martha  .  In 1935, Lima was celebrating 400 years since its founding, and the Lindleys decided to produce a unique drink to commemorate the event and their new homeland.

José Lindley had learned of a concoction based on hierba Luísa, lemon verbena, and began experimenting with different mixtures, fussing with the ingredients and the levels of carbonation until finding just the right formula. Thus was born, Inca Kola, a fruity soda that was launched with this catchy slogan:


Inca Kola, sólo hay una y no se parece a ninguna.Inca Kola,
 there is only one, unlike any other.
