Maido
No.1 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef

Veronica's Take
Maido, the newly crowned No.1 restaurant in the World's 50 Best 2025, is a culinary dark horse that has stormed the global stage with its unhinged devotion to Nikkei cuisine—a bold fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavors. Helmed by an elite chef whose name is already whispered in the same breath as culinary legends, Maido has redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the food world. The restaurant's meteoric rise is a testament to its relentless pursuit of perfection, with each dish telling a story that transcends borders and challenges traditional palates. If you haven't booked a table yet, consider it a pilgrimage you can't afford to miss.
