Brimming with the flavours, colours and energy of Latin America, guests are invited to don their aprons and learn how to mix COYA’s signature mocktails — COYA Sour & Chicha Morada — and create their very own flavour-filled ceviches, the iconic national dish of Peru.
Go on a culinary journey to the heart of Latin America and learn what goes into COYA’s signature drinks and ceviches at a masterclass in COYA Riyadh.
The journey begins at the Pisco Bar, where the expert bartenders demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship involved in concocting each beverage. Once you have prepared the delicious COYA Sour and Chicha Morada, the experience continues to the main dining room, where the chef explains the traditions and techniques behind Peru’s famous ceviche.
Deceptively simple-looking, ceviche, for those unfamiliar with this tantalising dish, is made of small chunks of raw fish, anything from snapper and sea bass to salmon and tuna, cured in the acidic citrus fruit juices. They are then adorned with vegetables and herbs to give contrasting textures, flavours and colour, from diced sweet potato, avocado and slivers of red onion to a sprinkle of coriander and cancha (toasted corn). The combinations are endless. A drizzle of leche de tigre – literally, tiger’s milk, the sauce in which raw fish marinates to make ceviche – is the final touch.
With hands-on demonstrations from COYA’s culinary team, you will be guided step by step on how to make Lubina Clásica sea bass ceviche. The chef will also show you what to look for when buying fish, essential knife skills to prep your fish, the art behind cutting the fish, how to select ingredients, and finally, how to put your own creative twist on each dish.

Drinks in hand, you’ll get to work tossing cubed sea bass in salt and lime juice. Within minutes, it turns white as it cooks in the acidic liquid. Scatter a few sprigs of coriander and diced red chilli before adding tiger’s milk, just enough to marinate the raw fish.s
Then, pile your fish into little bowls, delicately spoon in some sauce, garnish with chopped chives, sliced red onion, sweet potato, choclo, and crispy cancha – thankfully, the ingredients have been prepared in advance – and voila, it seems you have created your own Lubina Clásica ceviche.
The masterclass finishes with the guests being presented with a certificate of completion and ceviche recipe cards, alongside a fabulous spread of a three-course dinner full of COYA favourites.
What more can we ask for?
Space is very limited for the masterclass, so book early to avoid disappointment. You do not want to miss this.
