Mayta

Lima, Peru

• No.39 The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025
• No.13 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2024

Chef Jaime Pesaque honed his craft in some of the world's most decorated kitchens – including El Celler de Can Roca, twice The World's Best Restaurant and now in the Best of the Best hall of fame – before returning home to his home country of Peru. Matya is the first venue he's opened solo. It's developed a reputation for an inventive approach to local ingredients and flavours, married with accomplished technique. Their signature duck skillet is a delightful kaleidoscope of duck prepared five ways interspersed with seasonal root vegetables, all against a backdrop of  verdant rice. It now has a sister restaurant, 500°, also in Lima.
