The 38 Best Restaurants in Lima | Eater

"This new, casual Miraflores spot by Javier Miyasato showcases the chef’s playful approach to Nikkei cuisine, partly inspired by memories of favorite dishes from his childhood. The restaurant is exceedingly fun, with a vibrant space that takes inspiration from the streets of Lima and walls full of colorful graffiti. Don’t expect subtle dishes. Miyasato infuses intense flavors into his nigiri, maki, and sashimi, mixing sweet and spicy flavors in combinations like crab cream, parmesan, and tare. Among his richest dishes are a glazed pork rib with Thai shoyu, fried garlic, and chile pepper, and a short rib sandwich with seaweed, cheddar, caramelized kimchi, and Sriracha mayonnaise." - Liliana López Sorzano
