Doha, Qatar: La Mar Doha by Gastón Acurio has launched an exciting brand new Yunza Friday Brunch, evoking the festive atmosphere of the traditional Peruvian Yunza festival.

Get ready to immerse yourself in a vibrant Peruvian culinary experience. From April 19, join us every Friday for a lively ‘Yunza’ themed brunch at La Mar, at the InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa.

This celebration draws inspiration from the traditional Peruvian Yunza festival, an annual event where participants dance around a tree, taking turns to cut it down. Small gifts are attached to the tree, and once felled, these gifts are joyously distributed to all, with the person who cut the tree becoming the sponsor for the next year.

At La Mar, the Friday brunch brings this spirited celebration to Doha with a mini-Yunza affair. Indulge in a feast of Peruvian specialties and vibrant dishes, including traditional options not typically found on their menu.

Main courses include: Seafood Cau Cau, Peruvian seafood stew with cau cau sauce, green peas, and chalaquita; Chaufa Capon, stir-fried rice with beef, vegetables, chifera sauce, and fried wontons; and Pollo a la Brasa, a popular Peruvian roast chicken dish, marinated in chilli sauces and served with deep fried potatoes, chimichurri, and Peruvian sauces.
