About Puna
Puna is a modern Peruvian fine dining restaurant in Liberia. For travelers choosing a more polished meal in the city, the details point to a higher-spend option: the listed price is $120 per person, and the dress code is smart casual.
The clearest ordering guidance comes from the dishes identified for Puna: prawn tempura with risoni parihuela and wagyu sirloin over charcoal with crispy Pont Neuf potatoes. Those dishes frame the restaurant around composed modern Peruvian cooking rather than a casual, low-commitment meal.
Modern Peruvian cooking for a dressed-up Liberia meal
Puna is best understood as a modern Peruvian fine dining choice in Liberia.
Dress smart casual and plan for a $120 per person spend. That combination makes Puna a more considered choice than a casual meal in Liberia, especially for diners who want the meal itself to be the main event.
The order should stay close to the dishes that are actually identified. Prawn tempura with risoni parihuela gives the meal a seafood-led Peruvian anchor, while the wagyu sirloin over charcoal with crispy Pont Neuf potatoes is the richer route. Avoid building expectations around a named tasting menu unless it is presented when booking or at the table.
