Maido - Review - Miraflores - Lima - The Infatuation

"Nikkei cuisine is the meeting of two ancient cultures that, through years of adaptation, gave birth to a new style of Peruvian cooking that’s left its mark on criolla cuisine. The term, cocina Nikkei is now universal. At Maido, Mitsuharu Tsumura navigates all the territories of Peru with this concept in mind, translating it into a colorful tasting menu and an à la carte section that runs from flamed toro nigiri to one of Lima’s best lomo saltado, a dish that has earned him accolades. The space is playful and dynamic: a garden of towering wooden trunks welcomes diners, followed by the omakase nigiri bar. Thick rope lianas fall from the ceiling, and light filters down onto simple polished wood tables surrounded by mirrors, making Maido perfect for celebrations and solo fine dining.
