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 account dedicated to food that I eat in Los Angeles (plugging Instagram @losangelesfoodscene of course), I m no food critic... so please don t expect me to elaborate on the taste profiles of every course. However, this was an absolutely incredible experience each of the 16 courses are organized by elevation of Peru. One meal would feature elements from -25M below sea level, while another would feature elements from 350M above sea level, and so on. The meal was much like an art exhibit. So many different layers to each dish of the entire meal. Each dish is presented in unique ways, and the platings are just spectacular. The food, to the plate/bowl, to the silverware... everything matched. This restaurant was rated #6 of the World s Best Restaurants in 2018, and #2 of Latin America s 50 Best Restaurants. The food was amazing, but I also loved how open and bright the dining room and kitchen are. Could literally see directly into the open kitchen whenever you wanted. The first 13 or so meals progressed from apps to entrees... then ended with an array of desserts. Lastly, each patron gets a book at the end of the meal, which describes the process that Central goes through to develop its menu. This was certainly one of those rare meals that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
