Why Visit Olluco?
The reasons are concrete. Olluco is the Moscow project of Virgilio Martínez, whose restaurant Central is in Lima, and its tasting menus are built around the regions of Peru, with nuts, corn, potatoes and other products brought directly from the country, according to a guide.
A directory adds farm coffee, cacao, herbs, exotic products and even tableware from Latin America, and a vegetarian menu is listed. Dinner is a long, set experience of about two and a half hours rather than a quick meal. It is in the quiet streets near Sretensky Boulevard. It opens only in the evening, and prices are high, so check the menu.
Highlights of Olluco
Virgilio Martínez's Moscow project
Olluco was created by the Peruvian chef Virgilio Martínez with Mater Iniciativa, a research platform studying Peruvian products, landscapes and food traditions, according to a guide. Martínez's restaurant Central is in Lima. The Moscow kitchen is led by Nicanor Vieira. Chefs change, so confirm who leads it.
Tip: Ask about the Peruvian region behind the evening's menu.
Tasting menus by region of Peru
The tasting menus are built around the flavors, textures and natural features of different regions of Peru, with familiar ingredients revealed in unexpected ways through complex combinations and precise work, according to a guide. Directories mention a vegetarian menu. The menus change, so check the current ones.
Tip: Tell the restaurant about allergies when you book.
Ingredients from Peru
A guide says nuts, corn, potatoes and other products are brought directly from Peru, and a directory adds farm coffee, cacao, herbs and tableware from Latin America. This is what makes the cooking different from a general fine-dining menu. Ask about an unfamiliar ingredient.
Tip: Ask the staff to explain unfamiliar ingredients.
The cocktails and the bar
Directories list author cocktails, wine by the glass and draft beer, and a restaurant guide marks a fireplace. The bar menu changes, so ask the staff for suggestions. It suits an aperitif before the long dinner.
Tip: Ask for a cocktail to start the evening.
A two-and-a-half-hour dinner
A review from a guest describes a performance of about two and a half hours, so plan the whole evening around it. The restaurant opens at 17:00 and closes at midnight, closed on Monday. Check the seatings when you book.
Tip: Book the earliest seating if you want a relaxed evening.
Finding the entrance
An older review says the restaurant is hard to find: the landmark is the corner Magnolia, and behind it is a club house with a darkened ground floor and a small sign. The house numbers around it are missing. The details may have changed.
Tip: Check the map and look for a small sign on the ground floor.
What to Order

How we research and update our guides
About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
