Who we are
Peruvian heritage, served in Victoria
We are a specialized catering company dedicated to sharing the richness and heritage of Peruvian cuisine throughout the Greater Victoria region.
Every event gets a distinct, exceptional culinary experience, driven by authentic flavours, meticulous preparation and uncompromising quality.
Our ingredients
Flavours from Peru, partners from here
The ingredients that give our cooking its authentic taste come from Peru.
Fresh fish, produce and meats from local Island vendors. Buying close to home keeps our food fresh and supports our community.
We cook and serve on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen)-speaking peoples, known today as the Songhees and Xʷsepsəm (Esquimalt) Nations.
Why Peruvian food tastes different
“Peruvian cuisine is a vibrant concentration of flavours and native ingredients inherited from our ancient cultures. Over centuries it evolved through the culinary influences of many cultures, turning our cuisine into a true art form for the palate.”

Our team
Experience behind every event
Los Aquije Catering is led by co-founders Sofia and Gonzalo Aquije. Sofia heads our culinary team and has spent years perfecting the recipes of Peru's coastal cuisine here in Canada, where finding authentic ingredients at a fair price, and finding them at all, is a challenge of its own. Gonzalo brings extensive experience managing corporate hotels in Peru and leading food and beverage operations at Marriott hotel properties.
Our vision is to share Peruvian cuisine across all of British Columbia with the highest standards of quality and professionalism.
