Oxapampa, Peru
El Rey
El Rey sits on Jr. Mullembruck in Oxapampa, a Peruvian highland town in the Pasco region whose German and Austrian settler heritage shapes local food culture in ways most of Peru's restaurant circuit ignores. The surrounding cloud forest and agricultural valleys supply ingredients that rarely reach Lima menus, making Oxapampa a legitimate stop for anyone tracing where Peruvian produce actually begins.
