I want to give 4.5 stars, because whilst it was good, I didn't think it was that amazing or particularly Peruvian, except for the ingredients. It reminded me of many other tasting menus from various restaurants around the world. I couldn't see why this restaurant is rated so highly.

Also, I booke...

A highlight of our trip to Peru. What an experience! Friendly knowledgeable staff beautiful and interesting dishes. We left feeling satisfied and educated! The wine list is quite pricey though that is to be expected from a fine dining venue.

Speechless. I am without speech. Just had mind-blowing 3+ hour culinary experience at 3-Michelin Star restaurant, Central Restaurante in Lima, Peru. Thank you to head chef & owner, Virgilio Martinez for everything. Ok, look, even though I m a total foodie, and run my own separate instagram acc...

A unique experience, unmatched! The best part is that since there are 16 dishes, it takes time and that makes it even more an experience. Explosions of flavors every 8 minutes ... The presentations are works of art and the preparations a work of art for the palate !!

Very unique experience!

Very unique experience!

For 592 sols, you get to taste all the different cuisines from various places in Peru in 16 courses. From coastal ingredients like prawns and fishes (&p piranha!), all the way up to the high altitude of the Andes mountains.

The staff's are extremely friendly to explain ...

Ahh what a disappointment. From all I had read and videos watched I had high hopes for Central.

The decor, ambience, staff and surroundings are top notch. The theatre and anticipation is exquisite, and the backstory of the restaurant and what it tries to achieve is exceptional.

We meet at the entrance of the Central its chef Virgilio Martinez who welcomes us with a quick welcome and good evening. On the menu, 10 services declined on the basis of altitude.

Big fan of Spritz I choose the cocktail based on aperol, pisco italia. Magnificent, just between the acidity of the ...

If you want to see art, extremely nice presentations of dishes and non-edible food, Central is the right place for you!

If you want real food go to Astrid & Gaston, Maido and others.

On top of that, my daughter isn t feeling well just hours after the lunch.... some food intoxication as many ot...

Amazing flavors. Just smelling and tasting and feasting your eyes on the food. You need to have an open mind as some of the flavors are huge whole others subtle. I had the 17 course tasting menu. I am on course 16 and my mind is blown. By far the most amazing meal, no food adventure, that I have ev...

Excellent signature food with ingredients from all areas of our Peru and an incredible menu of heights! It is expensive compared to other restaurants but the experience is worth it! No. 1 of Latinomerica according to the 50 best.

Wow, what amazing flavor combinations. From start to finish, the 12 course tasting menu and wine pairings was fantastic. The only quibble we had was not with the food, but with the service. The waiting staff brings each course far too quicky and buses the table while you are still chewing. A 12 cour...

I had the 16 course menu, I was extremely dissappointed with the food.
I don't care about the presentation of the dishes or the "experience" they try to sell you, I don't care about taking a photo of every dish and showing it off on social media, I don't care about the artistic representation of th...

I can see how those place earned its top ranking in the world of food. You really do get to taste Peru.service was amazing. Food was amazing and the drinks were amazing. Definitely bucket list for foodies. The website did Say $160, but came out to $190. I can only assume that was tax. Also remember ...

It was a very nice experience and we enjoyed our dinner. Nevertheless, I was a bit disappointed which could be linked to the high expectations of the restaurant. For sure the largest disappointment was the wine pairing which I personally absolutely didn t like and thought was more than overpriced fo...

High expectations. Low execution. Food looked good.. certainly didn t taste good. Not only were we left with a sour taste in our mouths after a majority of the courses, it left a sour feeling in our stomachs. Your money and time are better spent elsewhere in Lima, a city with wonderful food that won...

Best dining experience I ve ever had. Was fortunate enough to get lunch reservations. Preferred dinner but they were unable to do both meat and vegetarian at same table, therefore the others went elsewhere while we enjoyed a fantastic lunch.

Go. Go and be open. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable and overwhelmed with discovery. This is one of my favorite memories and food experiences. It is for the adventurous. So don t cheat yourself of enjoyment and don t go expecting it to be something it isn t. It s just raw and beautiful.

Hello ,

Hello ,
unfortunately only three stars,
This has nothing to do with the cooking skills of the kitchen or the excellent selection of drinks. My problem is that you have to stick to the speed of the kitchen as a guest and in my opinion this can not be a meal, especially in the price range. The waite...

We made a reservation online. Then we arrive at the time to be told that was just for a waiting list. There was no mention of a waiting list on the site, it just said we had the reservation. Maybe dodged a bullet since last time I got super sick after eating here

For me the best restaurant in Peru, its dishes mix flavor, texture, aroma and color. The attention is first, the wine list is good and varied, they advise you for the perfect pairing. You have a good time, enjoy every minute.

The concept is to use local ingredients at an altitude of -10m to 3700m to combine appetizers, seafood, meat, desserts, and precise flavor balance. Each dish bursts out wonderful flavors. It is very exciting to take a wine road together.

Firstly, the prices are exorbitant, especially the drinks, including the water.
It is a type of experimental cuisine, and very strange.
