It would be a mistake to simply think of @kjollerest as a sister restaurant to @centralrest - it’s so much more than that. Named after a yellow Andean flower, Kjolle is the first solo restaurant of World’s Best Female Chef @pialeonkjolle - former head chef of Central and wife of @virgiliocentral. While the two restaurants share the same location, Kjolle differs from Central as it focuses only on the ingredient and is not restricted by the same altitude... More

It would be a mistake to simply think of @kjollerest as a sister restaurant to @centralrest - it’s so much more than that. Named after a yellow Andean flower, Kjolle is the first solo restaurant of World’s Best Female Chef @pialeonkjolle - former head chef of Central and wife of @virgiliocentral. While the two restaurants share the same location, Kjolle differs from Central as it focuses only on the ingredient and is not restricted by the same altitude on each dish. Striving the preserve the natural flavors of the products, the dishes here are a vibrant and colorful showcase of Peru’s biodiversity.

Both a la carte and tasting menus are available, and we opted for the latter. We knew that we were in for a tasty treat right away from the first course of bread and butter - the sweet silky butter was simply irresistible! Throughout the meal, we tasted the rainbow with the many colorful and delicious courses. My favorite dish was definitely the signature Many Tubers - a gorgeous plate of various tubers and roots tied together with a cream of purple sachapapa. Don’t miss the non-alcoholic pairing here with nectars, fruit extracts and infusions - it’s really one of the best I’ve ever had!

🇵🇪 thank you @pialeonkjolle and the whole @kjollerest 💫💫🍀 for such a delicious and inspiring meal. A must stop destination while in Lima.

Last stop at the Virgilio Martínez Véliz Empire, Lunch at Kjolle

on 28 Jan 2019

by Gerhard Huber

Like it or not, this was my favourite meal of the VMV Empire meals I had on this trip.
Housed in the same building as Central, tucked away upstairs in a lofty, airy space it is far more casual than the constructed dishes of Virgilio.
8 servings, perfectly calibrated with interesting ingredients and flavours. Sometimes with a little hint of spice so you don't forget that you are in Peru.
And of course, a chocolate from Cusco.
A great place.
