Netflix Chef s Table episode really put this place on my radar, but I think the documentary, and expectations of coming here, were better than the meal itself. Sigh. The very, very high concept meal is indeed a journey or experience , as every detail of this restaurant will remind you. Yes, it felt like a foodified tour of a Peru. Quite unique and fun. Some of the 16 courses were delicious, others curiosities, and a few just seemed to be visual pieces with an edible component. I found the dinning room to be very poorly lit with harsh cold 5000k lights that resembled hospital waiting room. The decor lacked any hues almost entirely grey and metal and cold stones no warmth; the dishes similarly were of muted colors, creating a altogether desaturated visual experience at odds with many delightful tastes and aromas. We ate at the chef s other project, Mil, up in the sacred valley earlier in the week; if you are choosing between the two I would go with Mil visually warmer, equally delightful food, and the remote Andean location felt like the right place for the occasion. I recommend... just wasn t flawless.
