"I saw Maido crowned the No. 1 restaurant in the world for 2025 on the World’s 50 Best list, beating Asador Etxebarri for the top spot; chef Mitsuharu “Micha” Tsumura, who opened Maido in 2009, used his acceptance speech to say 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.” This win marked the second time a restaurant from Lima has taken the title, after Central in 2023." - Eater Staff
