WE appreciate CEVICHE PERUANO!

2023

Dearest Friends,

Traveling is also discovering new aromas, experiencing different flavors and tasting other palates. Likewise, we begin a new season, in which we will travel through the typical dishes of different destinations.

Venham know us, delight us!

Elected for 5 years as the best culinary destination in the world, Peru is a country that seduces lovers of a memorable gastronomy. With a rich cultural heritage that mixes the culinary traditions of two immigrants, with a rich Andean biodiversity, Lima preserves some obligatory traits for those who want to experience the most emblematic Peruvian dish: ceviche.

It is prepared using raw fish, onions, pepper, red mille and other ingredients that can vary a little, all cooked in lemon broth. It is a dish with a very characteristic flavor and quite sought after, in various songs of the world.

In order for us to taste, let us meet chef Pía León, born and raised in Lima, that scene of abundance is a gift – and that is what she tries to transmit to the world through her gastronomy. Elected the best chef in the world in 2021 by acclaimed ranking 50 Best, she stands out for exploring the rich ecosystem of her country in the kitchen of the Central restaurant (which she runs with her husband, and also chef Virgilio Martínez) and the Kjolle restaurant, which It opened in 2018.
