The GOODS from Chicha

Vancouver, BC | We are having a Peruvian Street Meat and Ceviche Bar Summer Party on Saturday, July 18. Tickets are $20 for all you can eat between 4pm-10pm.

We will have an outdoor grill and will be BBQing all sorts of popular Peruvian street meat, everything from corazon (beef heart) and chicharron (pork belly) to Peruvian style chicken and much more. No guinea pig!

Inside we will have a ceviche bar with Executive Chef/Co-Owner Shelome Bouvette making a variety of Peruvian ceviches. There will also be a station set up with Peruvian salads, corn on the cob, and lots of other side stuff (we haven’t finalized everything yet).

Our house Pisco El Gaberbador by Miguel Torres is sponsoring our event and all our featured BBQ Pisco cocktails will be using El Gsberbador.

Our friends at Driftwood Brewery will be our beer sponsors for this summer event and we will be exclusively pouring Driftwood beers during the BBQ.

The party and BBQ starts at 4pm. The BBQ will end at 10pm but the party will keep going to late.

Tickets are $20 on Eventbrite. Some tickets will be available at the door but advance ticket holders have priority.

About Chicha

scoutporkbelly

Chicha restaurant is a modern Peruvian inspired tapas restaurant just west of Main on Broadway in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood.  The plates bring forth interesting new flavours focusing on the use of Peruvian ingrediants, bright and eye catching presentations, and are meant to be shared amongst good friends and family.

Chicha restaurant was started and continues to be owned and operated by three friends and first time restaurant owners Allison Flook (Executive Chef), Shelome Bouvette (Executive Chef), and Kumiko Umeno (General Manager).  Shelome and Allison have a history of history repeating and have worked in kitchens together time and time again over the past years; namely Lolita’s and the Alibi Room.  Kumiko never worked with these two prior to this venture and worked in the industry for years before leaving 6 years ago to work in finance only to come back last year to open a new restaurant and adventure with her friends.

The bar manager is Paul Clark formerly with the Cascade Room.  Paul creates all the cocktails, in house infuses Pisco and in house made syrups.  The cocktail menu changes seasonally and their is a different feature every day.

The wine list is made by consultant David Stansfield and changes seasonally.  The Spring/ Summer list is due to be out soon and is expected to offer a larger offering and branching outside South American wines and including more European and BC wines,

The restaurant is open 7 nights a week for dinner and late night (full menu until close); midnight Sunday- Thursday and1am Friday and Saturday and lunch Tuesday- Friday from 11.30am-2.30pm. There is talks of brunch happening soon.
