Virgilio Martinez’s CENTRAL being crowned the new Nº 1 at the @theworlds50best this year, signals not just a remarkable performance of Peru (@centralrest , @mitsuharu_maido , @kjollerest , @maytalima ) but also a much-deserved spotlight of Latin America in the world’s gastronomy.
The region had 12 restaurants on the list plus “The World’s Best Female Chef 2023” which this year was awarded to elena_reygadas from @restauranterosetta... More

Some highlights of my amazing meal at Central, Lima, 3 weeks ago. An absolutely brilliant experience, no wonder Vitgilio Martinez and team Central ended up as the World’s Best Restaurant 2023. I’ve been following their evolution ever since 2012, and I have to say they just kept on evolving in every layer of hospitality! Now Central means the pinnacle of destination dining for me: exotic, delicious, exciting, instructive, progressive, welcoming and genuine! Viva el Perú! 🇵🇪🍾

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.
