And all began with his first restaurant inaugurated in 1994 in Lima, the “Astrid & Gaston”. But, Who is Astrid? Astrid Gutsche is a German patissier who met Gaston Acurio when both were students in the exclusive cuisine school Le Gordon Blue in Paris, they got married and the rest is history.

The first Japanese settlers arrived in Peru in the late 19th century, bringing costumes, traditions, and unmistakable gastronomy. Over the years, the cooking techniques of Asian cuisine were combined with the wonderful flavors and ingredients of the Andean country, giving rise to Peruvian-Japanese fusion cuisine, also called Nikkei cuisine. And in Peru, the Nikkei cuisine has a temple called “Maido”, Maido restaurant.

Maido means “welcome” in the Japanese language, and the restaurant offers a unique experience since the arrival. When the diner arrives at the restaurant, the personnel yells in unison “Maido”, bowing themselves and inviting him to take a seat at his reserved table. Its distinguished high Nikkei cuisine menu includes specialties such as sushi, marinated fish, and shellfish, besides creole dishes with a touch of Asian preparation. The Tiradito de Pescado (thin slices of fish marinated in citric sauces made from local fruits) is another of the house specialties. You should not stop tasting it!

If Peruvian Gastronomy conquered the world by the hand of recognized Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio, he did it accompanied by a Peruvian flag dish, the ceviche. This dish consists of marinated fish in the citric juice of lemon and lime, with hot peppers and celery chopped, accompanied by boiled corn grains, lettuce, fresh onion slices, and sweet Peruvian potatoes. And Gaston Acurio understood that he had to have a restaurant that paid tribute not only to Ceviche but to the history behind it, to the Peruvians who make it possible, from the artisanal fisherman who gets up very early for the catch of the day to the farmer on the Peruvian Andes who stays up late taking care of his harvest. In this way, he created La Mar, or “The Sea” restaurant.

Seafood and fish are the true strength of this incredible restaurant. Variety of ceviches, tiraditos (sliced fish marinated in citrus juices from local fruit), and even sushi and creole dishes having the fish as base meat. Also, one of the most notable features is its menu, which changes daily depending on the fresh fish available.

Isolina is the name for those Peruvian women who go out to work hard every day to support their children, the one who looks for new ways to bring stability and food to their home, and the one who fights every day for the welfare of their children. Isolina is a tribute from a son to his mother, a tribute of chef José del Castillo to his mother Isolina Vargas, owner of the La Red restaurant chain from 1981 to 2009. He grew up supporting his mother in managing the restaurants and learning to prepare ancient and forgotten recipes, those that were jealously guarded by the Lima mothers of yesteryear, to be tasted only by their relatives, without sharing them with anyone.

No wonder, this restaurant is the busiest for national diners, remembering and tributing those flavors and dishes that consumed when they were children in their houses. For this reason, Isolina is a family restaurant where you can find original and ancient Lima creole dishes that were stopped being prepared in Peruvian restaurants and some houses, like chicken gizzard stew, potato with black pudding, and tripe stew. Each dish served is abundant, to be shared by up to three persons, as a typical dish served in a common Lima house on a random day.

Isolina is located in the Bohemian district of Barranco, one of the best places to get to know the nightlife of Lima. Exactly, in an ancient Lima house 114 years old. The restaurant offers many traditional creole dishes. The owner’s mother and the same José del Castillo make all the dishes with home and family recipes.

If we have to refer to a grill & meats per excellence in the Peruvian capital, we have to mention Osso restaurant. Renzo Garibaldi is the owner, and he is committed to meat and the sustainability of those who provide it. For this reason, Renzo moved to San Francisco and Paris in 2013 to receive lectures and training in sustainable butchery. Of course, after this journey, returned to Peru to open his first butcher shop called Osso in the district of La Molina (A Lima high-class neighborhood, like Miraflores or San Isidro, but far away from the sea and closest to the sandbanks)

Yes, before the restaurant, Osso was a butcher shop where Renzo shared grills some weekends with her friends with the meat that had in the pantry. In those moments, Renzo experimented with different cuts and styles of meat. Little by little the fame of those grills with friends grew, and more people asked to be a part of it. In this way, Osso restaurant was born, grew with surprising success, and after a few years opened its second location in the San Isidro district. (closer to the airport, ports, hotels, and foreign visitors)

Besides a menu based on roasted and grilled meat of different cuts, Osso offers tasting menus that consist of homemade sausages, followed by tartare, hot dogs, sliders, and grilled cuts in various stages of drying. A real delight. Therefore, we recommend you visit it in any of its two locals, La Molina or San Isidro, you’ll not regret it.
