Aymara: A Little Taste Of Peru

At my workplace, there is a Peruanita, and she recently told me that she had eaten cats(!) in Peru. Needless to say, I found the Peruvian cuisine interesting, and it is indeed a Peruvian restaurant in Oslo called Aymara.

Yesterday, it was my birthday. My mother invited my to a restaurant of choice. I decided to go to Aymara. It is very centrally located in Oslo, and just a stone's throw from my apartment:source

The restaurant was almost full when we arrived, and it was very cosy (you can se pictures of it on their homepage). We ordered the menu called a Taste of Peru, composed of 8 dishes.

They were served in this order:

Causa de Cangrejo

Soft mashed potatoes, king crab, avocado, radish, olive and mayonnaise:

I could not be more pleased with the food. All the dishes were well composed and very flavourful.
I am a sushi lover, and I am especially pleased how they managed to use raw fish (halibut and roughhead grenadier) in for me a novel way (ceviche). They even arrange courses in how to make ceviche! I am definitively going to eat more ceviche.

In total for two persons, the bill was NOK 1600ish (included 1 glass of white wine, 2 glasses of red wine and a local drink), which is only moderately expensive in Oslo.

If you are in Oslo, and like good food, you do not want to miss this place.
