JARANEANDO SUNDAY BRUNCH HAS ARRIVED IN NEW JERSEY!

JARANA New Jersey, the vibrant Peruvian restaurant that has captivated diners since its March 2023 opening inside American Dream, is expanding its offerings with the launch of its “Jaraneando” Sunday Brunch on January 12th. Building upon the restaurant’s acclaimed lunch and dinner menus, the brunch menu invites guests on a culinary journey through Peru, showcasing the diverse flavors from Japanese, Chinese and Italian influences that have shaped its vibrant cuisine.

“Brunch is inherently celebratory, making it a perfect fit for JARANA, which translates to ‘spontaneous celebration’ in Peruvian,” says Executive Chef Jesus Delgado. “We’re thrilled to extend our ‘jarana’ to Sundays with a menu that brings an authentic Peruvian perspective to beloved brunch classics.”

JARANA’s inaugural brunch menu, skillfully crafted by Corporate Executive Chef Jesus Delgado, showcases bold, bright flavors of authentic Peruvian cuisine alongside familiar brunch classics, creating a menu that is both exciting and approachable. Among these are the Seco Benedicto, a Peruvian nod to eggs Benedict featuring shredded short rib over tacu-tacu, a seared bean-and-rice patty, topped with two poached eggs and aji amarillo hollandaise, and the Steak & Eggs Anticuchero, where a 12-ounce New York strip is marinated, grilled and served with chimichurri roasted potatoes, a fried egg and huacatay sauce.

Some classic brunch dishes, such as avocado toast and chicken and waffles, benefit from a Peruvian twist. Subtly salty queso andino tops the Avocado Toast with avocado mash and a fried egg, and a waffle made with pumpkin-and-sweet-potato picaron dough accompanies the crispy fried chicken in the Waffle & Chicken dish.

JARANA brunch also offers traditional dishes, including the Leche de Tigre Trio, a seafood mix sampler featuring octopus, shrimp and calamari, as well as the shareable Bandeja Jarana, a bountiful platter of cebicheria favorites, including pulpo al olivo, scallop chalaca, cebiche limeño and coctel de camarones.

JARANA’s exciting cocktail program has a new brunch addition as eye-catching as it is delicious, El Tigre Rojo, a Peruvian-inspired bloody mary mixed with rocoto leche de tigre and generously garnished with fried calamari, pork belly and shrimp. For the brunch warrior, the ‘Jaraneando’ brunch service is offering a Mimosa Kit which includes a bottle of champagne accompanied by a selection of juices and fresh fruits. The quaint bar overlooking the terrace will also offer an extensive array of JARANA’s signature Pisco-based cocktails, alongside handcraft libations and a carefully curated selection of wines and beers to add to your brunch experience.

JARANA will be open for brunch on Sundays from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at American Dream Mall.
