Peru, Japan & the Caribbean
A Different Perspective on Island Dining
Overlooking Maundays Bay at Cap Juluca, Uchu explores Nikkei cooking, combining Peruvian traditions with Japanese ingredients and techniques. Ceviche, hand rolls and dishes from the charcoal grill offer several ways to build a meal, from a few plates shared over lunch to a fuller dinner. The terrace sits beside the pool, framed by tropical planting, while the bar adds another place to settle in. A separate children’s menu makes the experience approachable for families dining with younger children, and the relaxed setting suits couples and friends seeking food that invites a little exploration.
Kelisa and Jessica Behind the Bar
Bartenders Kelisa and Jessica have each contributed an alcohol-free drink to Uchu’s menu. Kelisa’s Beet the Heat uses beet, carrot and ginger with apple and lime; Jessica’s recipe brings together star fruit, lemongrass and honey with strawberry and citrus. Their contributions give drinks without alcohol a considered place alongside the bar’s pisco cocktails, wine and spirits.
A Peruvian Beginning on Maundays Bay
Introduced by Belmond in 2021, Uchu drew inspiration from the group’s hotels in Peru and the country’s coast, highlands and Amazon region. The restaurant added a distinct Peruvian identity to Cap Juluca’s dining collection. Its current menu develops that foundation through Nikkei influences, connecting Peruvian seasonings and seafood traditions with Japanese preparations in an Anguillian setting.
