When you think of a fine dining restaurant, what comes to mind? A white tablecloth? A few candles? Maybe some classical music playing in the background? What if I told you there was a fine dining restaurant in the middle of the jungle in Peru? Would you believe me? Well, you should, because it exists! And it’s called Amazonas.

The journey to the Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, Amazonas Restaurant is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This unique dining experience offers guests the chance to sample traditional Peruvian cuisine while enjoying stunning views of the rainforest.
The journey to Amazonas Restaurant is an adventure in itself, as guests must first take a boat ride down the Amazon River before reaching the restaurant. However, the effort is well worth it, as guests are treated to a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The journey to the restaurant
So there I was in the Peruvian jungle, sitting on a wooden table next to a thatched-roof hut. A warm breeze blew through the village, carrying with it the sweet scent of plantain. A few meters away, the Amazon river flowed, its waters brown from sediment, just perfect!

The conclusion
You should try Amazona restaurant if you are looking for a unique fine dining experience in the Peruvian jungle.
The restaurant is unique in so many ways: it is located inside an exclusive luxury jungle hut; it has a very small and exclusive seating capacity of 20 guests; the food is highly creative and inspired by the rich biodiversity of the Peruvian jungle; and finally, you get to enjoy the meal in complete solitude with no other guests or tourists around providing a very private and intimate experience.
The price may seem very high if compared to normal local prices, but considering all that is done to accommodate you in this remote location, I believe it is reasonably priced. Furthermore, once you have experienced Amazona, you will want to come back and try their menu again as the chef regularly prepares new dishes.
