The focus remains on operations in Peru and South America, while the management of the rest of the world is handled by another individual within the company. However, the opening of La Mar in Madrid, Spain, is scheduled for March 26.This will be the only opening outside of Peru during this period.
Acurio Restaurantes en el Nuevo Jorge Chávez
The most immediate local project is the opening of group restaurants in the new terminal of Jorge chávez International Airport. How many concepts will the airport feature?
In 2023, Acurio Restaurantes presented an ambitious proposal for the commercial operations of the new airport. Operations will be located in the national terminal and the public area before entering the terminal.
towards the end of this year,a Tanta similar to the one currently operating in the airport will open in the public area. In the national terminal, there will be a food hall with four concepts: El Bodegón, Papacho’s, and two new brands, Habla Broster and Sakamoto.
Additionally, there will be two take-away food options (heat & serve): Tanta to Go and a new brand in progress.The first will begin operations with the opening of the new terminal, and the second at the beginning of 2026, as this part of the terminal is still under development.
Inversión en los Nuevos Conceptos gastronómicos
The development of these gastronomic concepts has required a notable investment.
The food hall in the national area, called Lima Mundial – a gastronomic market – has an area of approximately 800 square meters (m2), where the four concepts will operate. The take-away food options, Tanta To Go and the new brand in development, each occupy an area of 150 m2. In total, they add up to 1,100 m2 within the national area.
On the other hand, the Tanta (restaurant format) in the public area covers around 200 m2. In total, 1,300 m2 have been built for this operation.
The development of these concepts has been ambitious and extensive, involving the creation of new brands and operating models. It has also required a significant investment in capex,with a highly complex construction. In total, the investment amounts to approximately S/ 20 million.
Apertura de los Conceptos en el Aeropuerto
The intention is to open the four concepts in the national area with the opening of the new airport. The construction is practically finished, although some details still need to be adjusted.
Concepto detrás de las Propuestas Gastronómicas
The airport concessionaire shared their vision for the new terminal, highlighting a world-class gastronomic offer. The national terminal will cater to both the local public, who value their conventional food, and international visitors.
Acurio Restaurantes Introduces Innovative Culinary Concepts
Acurio Restaurantes is expanding its culinary footprint with the introduction of two new brands: Habla Bróster and Sakamoto. These concepts aim to celebrate Peruvian cuisine while incorporating international flavors,set to debut at a major airport.
Habla Bróster: A Homage to Peruvian Chicken
Habla Bróster is a Peruvian brand designed to honor one of the nation’s favorite ingredients: chicken. The menu will feature a variety of chicken dishes, “from a classic and crocante pollo frito, hasta alitas doradas y picantes, además de crujientes chicharrones con salsas inspiradas en la cocina chifa y nikkei.”
In addition to fried chicken, Habla Bróster will offer sandwiches, wraps with classic and BBQ flavors, and a ample salad. The concept is “un homenaje al pollo bróster de antaño,acompañado de todas sus salsas,pero con un formato de comida rápida,artesanal y de alta calidad.” The goal is to create a dining experience that can be enjoyed individually or with family, complete with a “balde lleno de pollo bróster y guarniciones.” Dessert options include a freshly baked apple pie with dulce de leche.
Sakamoto: A Fusion of Japanese and Peruvian Flavors
Sakamoto is a culinary concept that “fusiona lo mejor de la cocina japonesa y asiática con los ingredientes y sabores del Perú, dando vida a una propuesta nikkei deliciosa.” This brand combines the best of Japanese and Asian cuisine with Peruvian ingredients, resulting in a unique Nikkei offering.
The menu at Sakamoto will feature ramen, rice dishes, noodles, and combination plates, complemented by wantanes and chicken gyozas. A grab-and-go section will offer sandos, onigiris, and makis with unique flavors. For sharing, the “gran caja Sakamoto” includes 40 makis with Nikkei, Limeño, acebichado, and Sakamoto flavors.
These concepts “reflejan de manera integral los distintos territorios a los que la cocina peruana ha llegado en su recorrido por el mundo.” The airport location is seen as a key space for both Peruvians seeking familiar flavors and tourists experiencing Peruvian gastronomy for the first time. The challenge is to “ofrecerles la mejor experiencia posible con comida de calidad.”
Tanta To Go: Capturing the Essence of a Beloved Brand
While a Tanta To Go format is not currently available, the concept aims to capture the essence of the established Tanta brand. Tanta is known for its versatile menu and offerings, including sandwiches, salads, desserts, and high-quality coffee. Tanta To Go seeks to “trasladar esa experiencia a un modelo de venta rápida, manteniendo la identidad de la marca.” The offering is being adapted to suit the travel experience and customer needs, while preserving the spirit of Tanta.
Future Expansion Plans
When asked about expanding Habla Bróster and Sakamoto beyond the airport, the response was that they are “siempre abiertos a nuevas oportunidades.” While the current focus is on developing these concepts at the airport, future expansion remains a possibility.
Opening in the airport is expected to “duplicar las transacciones que hoy realizamos en Perú,” due to the high traffic and agile format. The primary goal is to “brindar un servicio cercano, con excelencia y consistencia.” In 2025, the focus will be on the airport operation.
Despite delays in the airport’s opening,”estamos listos para operar.” The infrastructure and team are prepared, and there is eagerness to begin. “Llevamos más de un año trabajando en este proyecto y no solo estamos listos, sino que queremos iniciarlo con entusiasmo.”
Tanta to Go in Commercial Spaces
The potential for developing the Tanta To Go format in spaces like shopping centers is also being considered. Tanta is a “marca muy querida, amplia y versátil,” making it suitable for various opportunities. The airport format will be evaluated for medium-term implementation, with shopping centers being a more immediate possibility. tanta To Go is expected to be a significant focus in the coming years.
