Tucked away in Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood, a little slice of Peru awaits! 🇵🇪 📍 Oakland, CA I had the most incredible culinary adventure at Lucuma, a stunning Peruvian restaurant that is a true gem in the Bay Area. This LGBTQ minority-owned spot is an absolute must-visit for anyone craving authentic and innovative flavors. 🌈 Stepping inside, you’re immediately transported to a chic, tropical paradise. The interior design is breathtaking, with vibrant colors, lush greenery, and artful details that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s the perfect backdrop for a special date night or a fun brunch with friends. 🍹 The food is a flavor explosion! We started with the classic Ceviche, a citrusy and fresh masterpiece that was bursting with flavor! Their menu has a lot of classics like empanadas, pulpo, causas, yucca fries, and more! 🐙 This is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of culture, community, and delicious Peruvian food! 🥘 A definite Oakland foodie destination! 🫶🏽 ======== Hi 👋🏼 I’m Jetset Janine, I’ve traveled to  100+ countries and dined at 100+ Michelin Stars ⭐️  My series “Bay Area’s Best Kept Secrets” features local food and experiences in my hometown when I’m not traveling. 🏡  👉🏽 Join me for mouthwatering food, travel inspiration, and bucket list experiences! 🪣  🙏🏼 Hosted, thank you! ======= #Oakland #PeruvianFood #BayAreaEats #OaklandEats #Lucuma #Foodie #Travel #LGBTQOwned #MinorityOwned #UptownOakland #BayAreaFoodie #DiningOut #Ceviche #SanFranciscoBayArea #oaklandfoodie Oakland restaurant, Peruvian cuisine, LGBTQ-owned business, Bay Area dining, Uptown Oakland, foodie, travel, San Francisco Bay Area, date night, beautiful interior, food and travel
