Social media is dead. Long live the real world.
You’ve probably noticed we’ve been quiet around here. That’s because our digital guy has been abroad on an RnD mission to the motherland. He promises he’ll be back with some exciting ideas and is not just on a pisco fueled junket.
Fingers crossed.

Adobo de Chancho
Braised pork neck / adobo reduction/ sweet potato puree
Speaking with Pepito, we asked what dish we haven’t tried before in the past 6 years. He didn’t hesitate - Adobo de Chancho. A dish renowned in the south of Peru in Arequipa, but beloved all over the Andes.
You got to keep Pepito’s happy.
Our current Plato de Fondo/Main dish. OPEN 5pm

Sunday 2nd August
Pepito’s x Porcine L’Avant Cave
As it happens, always over a few pisco sours, chatting with Chef Nik Hill about the origin of different dishes in Peru. We spoke about Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian) and Chifa (Chinese-Peruvian), then as a joke mentioned we should do French-Peruvian. A pisco sour later the plan was drawn.
CAVE CRIOLLA
Perú in the Cellar
A Pepito’s party with a Porcine twist held downstairs at L’Avant Cave
Think Pisco butter escargot, Andean Poutine, Trucha Tartare, just to name a few. Wouldn’t be a party without raw seafood and Pisco Sours of course.
Signature Pepito’s flavours mixed with the culinary heft of Porcine.
One day only.
Sunday 2nd August.
Bookings recommended. Link in bio.

It began in Africa.
When the world gives you lemons,make lemonade. When the Spanish give you hearts, make ANTICUCHOS.
Given offal as their main protein, 16th century African slaves in the Virreinato del Perú used ingenuity to make it not only nourishing but also absolutely delicious.
Our ox heart skewers are a slice of history and Peruvian street food tradition. Pepito’s in Marrickville perhaps the only place in Sydney where you can try it.
