Troble Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Just finishing up a week in Lima visiting family. Was fortunate enough to eat at two of the best restaurants here, Maido & Mayta. Central was closed this week unfortunately https://www.theworlds50best.com/latinamerica/en/list/1-50 here are the pics from Maido 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 STUNNING, is all I can say. My challenge with those gorgeous platings would be to distinguish between what I'm supposed to eat and what is just decorations/garnishes?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My challenge with those gorgeous platings would be to distinguish between what I'm supposed to eat and what is just decorations/garnishes?? Funny you should say that. Last night at Mayta I had to ask about that a few times and by the 2nd to last course/dessert I tried to eat the corn chips before asking and the waiter started laughing at me telling me “you can’t eat that” keep in mind I was 10 wine pairings in by that point Edited March 31, 2023 by Troble 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 I hope you took a few notes, we'll be expecting nothing less in the way of amazing when you return. To say "it's all in the presentation," is an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troble Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Thank you everyone it was definitely a great trip most of all because after cancelling our trip in 2020 and 2022 because of COVID lockdowns we finally got to take my kids there to meet their 95 year old great grandma and a handful of aunts and uncles that they’ve never met this place was also the best ceviche of my life and the mussels/shellfish dish was out of this world. I’ll be attempting those in the summer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troble Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 20 hours ago, tony b said: What were you drinking? Maracuya pisco sour. Passion fruit pisco sour. It’s the only pisco sour I drink down there. They have big yellow passion fruits down there that are sweet and that is an absolute stunner of a drink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I do like a good pisco sour. Never had a passion fruit one, just the "regular" citrus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Troble, are the prices at the restaurants your eating at comparble to the same here in the US of equal justice. I find prices vary wherever I've traveled so I was curious to know if your getting a bang for your buck or paying up to what it is. I realize most wouldn't ask this but then again, I like to cut to the chase. No harm done as long as you wake up and your still breathing I say. Enjoy Edited April 4, 2023 by Tyrus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Wow! That food looks fantastic @Troble. Like @Tyrus I'm wondering what damage that did to your wallet compared to, say, the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 While not in the same league as these restaurants, I was inspired to make a batch of Peruvian Chicken with Green Crack Sauce for dinner last night. The chicken had been marinated for over 24 hours. One of my "cheats" on the green crack sauce is that I like to add in some Trader Joe's Jalapeno Sauce. Adds a nice kick and has a similar texture to the mayo/sour cream base of the crack sauce. Direct, 325F, 30 minutes. And springtime means asparagus!! Plated with roasted potatoes and the crack sauce. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Troble, the food looked outstanding. I couldn't make heads or tails of what you were eating and then you posted the menu. After I read it I couldn't tell heads or tails what you were eating. But I'm an uncultured savage. I'd love to visit a place like that. Tony, your food always looks yummy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted Monday at 02:30 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 02:30 AM (edited) Spent the holidays and new years in Peru and ate like a king went to Central and Kyjolle for our fine dining experiences. Ate and Senor Limon twice (our favorite normal restaurant) and had some out of this world pollo a la brasa at Tori which is owned by the owner of Maido here are the pics Edited Monday at 02:35 AM by Troble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
