In the early ’90s, Ciro Wong opened an exotic restaurant based on his wish to cultivate a community setting, to connect cultures, and to keep his family tradition alive. Pucapuca is a Peruvian restaurant in Montreal, where Canadians of all origins come to discover Peruvian cooking, and where friendly interchanges take place in a setting filled with Latin American music.
Ciro named the restaurant Pucapuca because of its exotic attraction and because the title’s origins reflect his hometown of Pucallpa, Peru. Growing up in Peru, Ciro’s grandfather made a living selling food as a street vendor, and Ciro’s father followed suit in the food business by opening his own restaurant, which was a second home to Ciro. His grandmother and mother pitched in, and “everyone did their part,” he recalls.
“I learned a lot from them,” he says. “I had that great opportunity of being nurtured by these very creative people whose dishes were their own inventions. They used what was there,” he says, explaining that he has repeated that way of doing things, and is never ruled by the book. “I don’t follow strict rules, I don’t believe in recipes that will tell me, 10g of this, 10g of that, 10g of the other.”
