Virgilio Martínez and Pía León have created an out-of-this-world, mind-blowing food experience that instantly soared into the top meals of our life. Central's tasting menu showcases ingredients at different altitudes in Peru. You start below sea level, you journey into the Amazon, and you climb to the top of the Andes mountains. The coast provides incredible seafood, the jungle introduces you to new fruits, and the extreme altitude allows the discovery of new varieties of potato and corn. Ranked no. 2 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2022 and no. 1 on Latin America 50 Best 2022, Central deserves all the recognition it's received, and more.
