Central
Central Restaurante
Voted the World's Best Restaurant in 2023, it takes diners through Peru's diverse ecosystems using altitude as a guide.
Located at Av. Pedro de Osma 301 in the Barranco district, Central is run by Virgilio Martínez and Pía León. It was named No. 1 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2023 and works in close partnership with the research organization Mater. The current menu, "Mundo en Desnivel," features 12 steps and 32 dishes that traverse the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon. The price on the official website is S/1630 per person, with an additional S/684 for wine pairing. Seating windows for both lunch and dinner are very short. Open Monday to Saturday. Reservations must be made as early as possible and sell out quickly once released. Pía León's Kjolle, ranked 7th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2026, is located at the same address. Taking a taxi from Miraflores is the most convenient way to get here.
