Mayta Restaurante
Restaurant · Lima
Av. Mariscal La Mar 1285, Miraflores 15027, Peru
"Mayta is a restaurant with a strong Peruvian identity, offering local meats like cuy, criollo duck, or Amazonian fish such as paiche, all approached with a more contemporary vision. A bright freshness runs through the 10-course tasting menu, crowned by an iconic duck skillet. Every part of the bird plays a role in this perfect rice dish, finished with silky egg yolk emulsions. On the à la carte side, expect seasonal plates and generous portions: go for la sartén de pato, one of the first of its kind in Lima, the Amazonian ceviche with plantain, between acidity and sweetness, and the Paracas scallops, or pasta stuffed with corn and ají amarillo. And order anything on the cocktail menu, since Mayta was one of the first restaurants to champion pisco infusions and mixology, and it still maintains an impressive one today." - paola miglio
