Food Service Investment S.A.C. - Lima

Fui y pedí a la carta. Recomiendo esta dinámica para poder probar distintos platos a su gusto. Excelente comida Nikkei, excelente carta de tragos y excelente atención.

We dined at Maido on the last night of our 3-week trip to Peru and it was the cherry on top of a wonderful time in a beautiful country! The two of us both enjoyed the chef 's tasting menu and my husband also had the...wine pairing. Since the tasting menu varies daily, it 's difficult to review individual dishes, but, suffice it to say, that we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience! I especially enjoyed the Amazonic potato snack, the Tempura fish with native potato sauce, and the bivalves with seafoam and crackers. Both desserts were outstanding as well: the creative serving of ice cream in a coconut shell and the chocolate yumminess with nuts and mochis. If you 're in Lima and can score a meal at Maido, go for it! It 's worth the time and money.

Food was truly exceptional. Wine program is excellent under the head sommelier Florencia. Only issue to consider is the same one raised by other reviewers as it relates to service charges. When the bill came, I asked explicitly if service was included in the tasting...menu and the waiter said no and asked if we could tip in cash. Therefore tipped generously to US standards assuming that the 10% base tip wasn’t included (which other restaurants in Peru did for US visitors knowing that we typically tip higher than the 10% . Turns out a service charge was embedded in the prix fixe price (and not shown as a service charge so in short left way too much. Overall left a bad taste after a truly stunning meal.

We were impressed of each dish, the extraordinary personalized service and advices , the best fusion food we ever had.

Curious by the listing in the top 50 best restaurants in the world, we made a reservation. The process went smooth (about 1 month in advance). We had a 13 course lunch (Nikkei experience). It was marvellous. Every course was a piece of art. In tasting and presence.If you want to experience something really special, this is the place to do it!
