Quinoa has become one of my favorite restaurants in Bucks County. Peruvian food is exciting, unique and diverse - and delicious. Quinoa, and its sister restaurant, El Tule in Lambertville, are owned and run by the Egoavils and their extended family. [To learn more about Quinoa, see our post on Bucks County Taste here.]
But what an evening we have in store for you! Jack Egoavil will give us a Peruvian cocktail demonstration and tasting using Peru's national spirit, Pisco. During the 3-course dinner (see menu below) he'll share tidbits about Peruvian cuisine and what makes it so unique.
Want to learn how to make ceviche, Peru's national dish? Sign up for a half-hour cooking class before the dinner (beginning at 5:30 pm) for an additional $10. Class is limited to 20 participants [sign up when you register].
All this for $70 per person! (TAX and GRATUITY INCLUDED).
You must be over 21 years old to attend.
Quinoa is BYOB so feel free to bring your favorite bottle.
