Our Philosophy

Flavour first. Always exotic.

Alfonso is a Latin American kitchen with an Asian accent. Charcoal, citrus and chilli on one side of the pass; sesame, ginger and precision on the other. Every plate is composed like a still life and seasoned without apology.

Beetroot rice, guacamole, coriander and lime meet teriyaki, edamame and pickled ginger. Nothing decorative. Everything intentional.

Mateo Alfonso

The Chef

"Cook it with fire, finish it with restraint."

Raised between Lima's markets and Tokyo's counters, Mateo built Alfonso around a discipline he learned young: respect the ingredient, and it will do the work for you.

Every sauce is house-made, every grill fired to order, every bowl leaving the pass only when the colour is right.
