Eating at a Lima Restaurant

Lima has been named the world's culinary capital at the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards in 2012, 2013, and 2014, with Central (ranked number 1 in the world in 2023), Maido (number 7), and Astrid y Gaston all in the global top 50. The city's cuisine fuses Inca, Spanish, Japanese (Nikkei), Chinese (Chifa), African, and French influences into a food culture so vibrant that 30% of all Peruvian employment is in the food sector -- representing a culinary diversity matched only by Tokyo and New York.
