A chef shaped abroad
Chef Ricardo Ehni built his career across Peru and Europe before returning to Lima to take on Tragaluz with a steady, long-term mindset. He trained at ICIF in Piedmont and spent a decade in Spain, including four intense years at Pakta, the Adrià brothers’ restaurant, where he worked as sous-chef alongside Jorge Muñoz. Time in the Basque Country sharpened his discipline and palate. At Tragaluz, he translates that experience into a menu that’s deliberately personal, grounded in Peruvian ingredients, supported by fermentation work, and guided by a strict rule on quality.
