I took my best friend - a bride to be - and the bridal party to Central as a part of her bachelorette. We had come across the restaurant's name in a food and travel platform's blog, Travel Taste Discover https://www.traveltastediscover.com/countries-with-michelin-star-restaurants/, and knew that we had to give it a shot. After all, they called it the best Michelin star restaurant, and we were all about finding the best places to celebrate her upcoming wedding.
I ended up ordering the Suelo de... More

1. It's not caviar. It's Cushuro. A cyanobacteria (Nostoc sphaericum) that grows in lagoons and wetlands in the Andes above 3.000m.
Specialists say it contains more protein than meat and more calcium than milk.
2. A dish at Central “MIL Lab - 3.750 m. Native Potatoes, Cushuro, Egg yolk, Beef”.
3. At the market in Cusco, you can also find it

The beauty of returning to @centralrest and making the journey again to the different heights and ecosystems of Peru, through the eyes of @virgiliocentral and his team.
How refreshing it is to find constant exploration and renovation of one of the most brilliant concepts in the culinary world to convey a unique expression of “terroir” and context to what you're eating.
It is a journey of originality, delight and enlightenment about a country, its geography, its culture... More

Another interesting and delicious meal at Central. His cuisine based on the various altitudes in Pero is unique. It enables him to showcase not only the products but also his excellent technique.
If I had one remark it would that it seems the dishes become more and more constructed. This should not be a bad thing, but sometimes simplicity triumphs.
