Mayta
No.39 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Jaime Pesaque's Mayta, now ranked No. 39 on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, is a pilgrimage-worthy destination for elite Peruvian cuisine that has diners flying in from around the globe. His nine-course Mayta Experience is a masterclass in ingredient-driven innovation, featuring dishes like corn with chullpi and quinoa flower, and ribs with cushuro and chincho, all meticulously crafted to showcase Peru's rich culinary heritage. Pesaque's obsession with elevating traditional ingredients to new heights has clearly paid off, making Mayta a must-visit for anyone serious about modern gastronomy.
