Background
About Macambo
The Story
Macambo is a Peruvian contemporary kitchen at Carrer de Laforja, 83 in Sant Gervasi, founded by chef Roberto Sihuay as both a declaration of origin and a personal synthesis. The name 'macambo' is an Amazonian superfood related to cacao, almost unknown in Europe, known as 'el chocolate blanco de la selva', the white chocolate of the jungle. Sihuay describes his menu as the result of selecting 'the best players for a Champions match': every dish on the card represents a career's worth of cooking, compressed into a single kitchen with two floors, a terrace, and private dining rooms in Barcelona's upper city.
The Cuisine
Peruvian contemporary, 'cocina de raíz con visión moderna' (rooted cooking with a modern vision). The menu draws from every region of Peru: duck thigh from the north, coastal ceviches, jungle chorizo, and Nikkei sushi with Japanese influence. Signature dishes include a Trío de ceviches (clásico de corvina, ceviche mixto de ají amarillo, and ceviche de rocoto con chicharrón de calamar), dados de cochinillo confitado with escabeche sauce, and causa de pollo payés a la limeña (yellow potato with ají limo and Catalan payés chicken). Cocktails, mocktails, and a midday menu round out the offer.
The Team
Macambo is founded and led by chef Roberto Sihuay, who brings together his Peruvian heritage, family memory, and modern culinary technique at Carrer de Laforja, 83. Sihuay describes his cooking as a personal synthesis, each dish a career distilled. The restaurant occupies two floors in Sant Gervasi with a terrace and private dining rooms.
