Tanta is a Peruvian restaurant concept from acclaimed South American Chef Gastón Acurio. Trained in Europe, Chef Gastón returned to Peru after years abroad realizing that the food of Peru could compete on the international stage. He then set out to refine the traditions and bring about a national pride that he could export across the globe.

The weekend starts here.

Pull up a chair, let the cocktails pour, and let Peru do the rest. From the first sip of a perfectly balanced Pisco Sour to the last bite of something slow-roasted and deeply satisfying, Saturday and Sunday at Tanta are made for lingering.

When the sun stretches over Chicago's skyline and the rooftop calls, there's only one answer: Pisco in hand, Peruvian warmth all around. ✨

Our rooftop becomes something different as spring settles in—a place where downtown energy meets the unhurried joy of sunset dining. Golden hour. Cold cocktails. Flavors that transport you south while the city hums below.

Your Pisco, your way. Your table, our rooftop. This is the season we've been waiting for.

This Mother's Day, we're celebrating the women who give us everything—with a menu that matches their warmth. The Chefs have curated four courses worthy of the occasion: delicate Tiradito Apaltado, creamy Pasta Huancaína, tender Crab Causa, and to finish, Una Rosa Para Mamá—a dessert as beautiful as she is.

From the Peruvian coast to our River North table, every course is a love letter. Treat her to something unforgettable this Sunday, May 11th.
