Ricardo Martins has invited friends to bring their colorful flavors, sounds, and cocktails to the centennial house that holds Siete Restaurant in Barranco.
The Color Sessions at Siete Restaurant have been happening since February. Special dinners sponsored by The Glenlivet bring cocktails, good music, and food to the century-old house in Barranco.
The young chef Ricardo Martins is the brand ambassador for this single malt scotch; he used to be in charge of the kitchen at Rafael’s Restaurant; now. Since 2019, he has owned this restaurant that offers a fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavors with Peruvian products. Richie, as people call him, loves music, and you can find a very eclectic selection playing anytime, from blues to indie.
As a music collection, these dinners come in Volumes; Vol. 1 was Yellow. The focus was Art, music, and cocktails by the New Yorker Llama Inn’s Natasha Bermudez, and music was played by Dj Arístides, who amplified the vibes for a cocktail night. Vol. 2 was Heavenly Blue bringing Peruvian chef Diego Oka from the renowned restaurant La Mar Miami a night full of fresh food from the ocean and some Siete classics done by Diego Oka and Siete’s chef de cuisine Diego Castro,. Vol. 3 was Purple, once again pairing with cocktails designed by head bartender Fabrizio Astudillo and food by Mexico City’s Campo Baja, a great mix of fresh Peruvian produce with Mexican techniques and flavors, tacos, quesadillas came together with croquettes and tiraditos. Finally, vol. 4 Crimson, the guest chef this time was Manuel Mendoza from Barranquilla’s Manuel Restaurante, mixing the Colombian Caribbean flavors; his cantaloupe, cucumber, and eggplant small bite was a great starter for that night, adding phyllo baskets with fish and shrimp, or razor claims with fermented ají and chimichurri.
