The restaurant celebrates the South American cuisine of Peru, Argentina and Mexico and shares a range of native dishes with Copenhagen's food lovers. Much like its eclectic and rich menu, the Llama Restaurante Sudamericano's interior design is reflective of the eatery's South American culture. [Patterned tiles, rustic woods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-aether) and animalistic decor accessories serve as the restaurant's main focal points.
