Amaru kicks things off with Hamachi Montadito with pomme souffle, smoked avocado chive requeson, tamarind soy and caviar. Seco de Jaco Raviolo follows with crema de yuca, callaloo, brown butter and toaster garlic. Amaru’s third dish is Bacalao with sancocho de coco, yuca, platano, kale and Chile piquin oil.
