"In Lima, Maido was named the No. 1 restaurant in the world for 2025, beating Asador Etxebarri for the top spot; it marked the second time a restaurant from Lima won the title (Central was the first in 2023). I was struck by chef Mitsuharu “Micha” Tsumura’s acceptance speech — Tsumura, who opened Maido in 2009, said he believes that “hospitality can do amazing things: It can make dreams come true, it can solve most of the problems that we think cannot be solved.”" - Eater Staff
