Mayta Restaurante

"The top 10 restaurants in Latin America are [...] Mayta in Lima [...]"

"Rank: #32 "On its 10-year anniversary in 2018, Mayta moved to new premises with a revamped interior and totally redesigned menu. Since then, its star has been ascending, with its entry into Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2019 and now, in 2022, its debut onto The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Chef Jaime Pesaque’s refined Peruvian cuisine now draws destination diners from all over the world."

"In the last few years, as Mayta has landed spots on numerous Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants lists, chef Jaime Pesaque has edged from a casual vibe toward fine dining. That refined instinct is obvious in sophisticated dishes like the cebiche amazónico, which showcases a unique combination of flavors: seasonal white fish, Amazonian ginger, charapita (a small, powerful chile from the Amazon) in place of the usual limo chile, caramelized sweet plantains instead of sweet potato, and thin plantain chips for crunch factor." - Liliana López Sorzano

"Rank: #24 "Meaning ‘noble land’ in the native Aymara language, Mayta is a personal and contemporary interpretation of Peruvian cuisine by chef and restaurateur Jaime Pesaque. The restaurant moved to a new venue in Lima’s wealthy Miraflores district – a mecca for foodies by the Pacific coast – in 2018. Its muted tones of grey and earthy browns and simple décor allows the food to shine. After debuting on the list in 2019 at No.49, the restaurant shot up 25 spots earning the Highest Climber Award 2020, sponsored by illycaffé."
