“Peruvian food history wouldn’t be complete without Astrid & Gastón – both the restaurant and its owners, Astrid Gutsche and Gastón Acurio, who founded it 20 years ago. The pair originally opened Astrid & Gastón as a French restaurant in Miraflores district; fortunately it wasn’t long before they decided the future was more ceviche than truffle and foie gras.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary the restaurant moved to a new location, a colonial hacienda known as Casa Moreyra in San Isidro district, where there’s not only one kitchen, but also a fine-dining restaurant, gastrobar, botanical garden, two private rooms with their own kitchen and bar, and a research and development lab. The man in charge of such an ambitious project is Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz. He translates Acurio’s dreams into exciting tasting menus telling fascinating stories, such as an Italian immigrant discovering his new country, or an allegorical journey through Peruvian landscapes and history.”

About The World’s 50 Best Restaurants:
The World's 50 Best Restaurants list is an annual snapshot of the opinions and experiences of almost 1,000 international restaurant industry experts. What constitutes "best" is left to the judgement of these trusted and well-traveled gourmets.
There is no pre-determined check-list of criteria; for example an interesting experience in a simple establishment, where exceptional innovation was discovered, could be judged better than a more opulent meal from a widely feted restaurant team. The results are a simple computation of votes.
Given that this well-constructed list is based on personal experiences it can never be definitive, but we believe it is an honourable survey of current tastes and a credible indicator of the best places to eat around the globe.
