Alpaca meat is rising in popularity, with the Gold Coast Bulletin reporting about 70 restaurants across Australia feature the meat in their dishes. 

 

Among them is Melbourne restaurant Pastuso, whose head chef appeared in a video by the Australian Alpaca Association to discuss how diners have embraced the cuisine¹. 

 

Alejandro Saravia, who is a Peruvian chef at Pastuso, has cooked with alpaca meat for four years and described the taste as similar to beef or lamb. 

 

'Alpaca has been very well embraced from the Australian public,' he said in the video. 

 

'Flavour wise it's very easy to understand, between beef and lamb, so it's not so challenging, and also it's very healthy meat. 

 

'The future of breeding alpaca for human consumption will be just going better and better.'
