"The original Williamsburg restaurant opened in 2015 and remains part of the group’s lineup, with additional outposts the team still operates in Brooklyn, London, and Madrid. It served as the earlier foundation from which the higher-end Manhattan location later rolled out in 2019." - Melissa McCart
"Llama Inn works for all sorts of different situations, and it’s not impossible to get into—so we find ourselves recommending it to people all the time. The very good Peruvian food, which you eat in a relaxed dining room full of plants and natural light, ranges from ceviche to beef tenderloin covered in french fries. And if you need another reason to plan your next double date or group dinner here, know that there’s an excellent rooftop patio situation as well." - team infatuation
"A modern Peruvian restaurant in Williamsburg whose team is opening another spot this month; the restaurant is the origin point for the group’s exploration of Peruvian Nikkei flavors referenced in the new Hudson Yards izakaya." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Llama Inn aims to reflect the global migration of Peruvian flavors, offering dishes like mango ceviche and cold Aji Amarillo curry. The venue strives to bring awareness to Peruvian cuisine in NYC. The menu is adventurous, featuring a vegan dish inspired by ceviche with Thai curry, ají amarillo, and mango, along with various textures such as crunchy Peruvian corn and toasted quinoa. The restaurant balances flavor and respect for ingredients while managing costs with a thoughtful approach." - Kevin Chau
"Llama Inn has enough hanging plants that it could almost pass for a Rainforest Cafe, but instead of kids shooting spitballs at mechanical parrots, this Peruvian restaurant in Williamsburg is filled with groups sharing ceviche with plantain chips and cocktails. Get the “Llama del Rey,” which has pisco, rum, grilled pineapple, and a bunch of other ingredients that people whisper to themselves when they’re experiencing S.A.D." - matt tervooren
