Llama Inn - Madrid

The story

Llama Inn Madrid – Peruvian Immigrant Roots and Brooklyn Flair

Llama Inn calls itself an immigrant restaurant. Its roots are Peruvian, but it was born in the diverse, urban Brooklyn of the past decade and now calls Madrid's cosmopolitan Barrio de Justicia home. The team — founder Juan Francisco Correa, executive chef Luis Cornejo, manager David Álvarez, and general director Elena Sáez — offers a menu that is "a little Lima, a little Brooklyn, plenty of mischief, some spice, the best ingredients, and a tremendous nostalgia for the country left behind decades ago."

The cooking is contemporary Peruvian, approachable and playful. Dishes blend the traditions of Lima with the energy of Brooklyn, often with a spicy edge. The kitchen uses top-quality ingredients, and the offering is designed to be inclusive: "don't be scared, there is something for everyone." The bar, Bar Llama, serves cocktails alongside the food, with extended hours on weekends when it stays open continuously for drinks after work or between meals. There is outdoor seating for warmer months and air conditioning for comfort year-round.

Llama Inn's take on Peruvian cuisine has earned it a Michelin Recommended spot in the 2026 guide. Despite the name, it is not an inn, but guests are received with open arms. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, a reflection of the immigrant spirit that defines it. On Calle Conde de Xiquena, it has become a neighborhood staple that bridges continents.
