Peruvian restaurant, Astrid y Gastón has claimed the coveted number one spot on the inaugural Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants list, sponsored by Cusqueña.
Lima’s Astrid y Gastón, The Cusqueña Latin America’s Best Restaurant and The Cusqueña Best Restaurant in Peru, has long been acclaimed as one of Peru’s most exciting places to eat, where simple Peruvian cooking is combined with chef-owner Gaston Acurio’s own character and style. Acurio and Head Chef Diego Muñoz continue to experiment with Peruvian ingredients, often referencing Andean and Amazonian culinary traditions.
Brazil boasts nine restaurants on the list with Sao Paulo’s D.O.M shooting straight in at no.2 to take the S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Brazil. Atala is widely considered ‘the face of Brazilian cuisine’ and one of the world’s most influential chefs, renowned for combining the most authentic Brazilian flavours with a contemporary approach.
