La Turuleca
La Turuleca
La Turuleca is a Peruvian restaurant in the Sants-Badal neighbourhood, doing traditional Peruvian cooking and meaty grills built around chicken, rice and seafood, with ceviche on the menu too. It's a casual pit stop rather than a destination dinner, with most plates landing around €20-30 a head. Good for groups, families and anyone after Peruvian food without a fuss.
Background
About La Turuleca
The Story
La Turuleca is a Peruvian spot in Sants-Badal, in Barcelona's Sants-Montjuïc district. It's the kind of casual neighbourhood place you drop into rather than build an evening around, leaning on classic Peruvian dishes and grills.
The Cuisine
Peruvian food covers a lot of ground, from ceviche — raw fish or shellfish cured in citrusy leche de tigre with chilli and onion — to the heartier, grilled side of the kitchen. Here the two sit side by side: ceviche and seafood alongside meaty grills and dishes built on chicken and rice.
The Team
The kitchen sticks to the classics, working the standard Peruvian repertoire of ceviche, grilled meats and rice-and-seafood plates. It's a straightforward, repertoire-driven menu rather than anything experimental.
