Opened back in 2009 in the trendy Miraflores district, the restaurant has since become much more than just an insider tip. It could certainly be used as an argument for a trip to Lima. Tsumura skillfully combines Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients. The result is exciting Nikkei cuisine. Chef Micha also won the Estrella Damm Chef's Choice Award of the World's 50 Best Restaurants this year. It's a special honor, because it is voted for by colleagues.

Diverxo has been steadily working its way up the ranks of the best restaurants of 2024. It probably won't be long before the cuisine of Dabid Muñoz takes first place, conjuring up works of art on the plates. They are all creative, difficult to predict and always an experience. Muñoz sees himself as an artist who works on the white canvas of the plates. The interior of the restaurant is also an eye-catcher.

He already had two stars from Michelin Guide, and last year Bruno Verjus climbed straight to 10th place in the gastronomic Olympus with his Table. Since then, he has made up seven places, landing in third place on the list of the best restaurants of 2024. A special feature of the restaurant is the long table, which is also the open kitchen. As a guest, you are always there live. Verjus serves the daily changing Colors of the Day menu with highlights such as Liquid Sushi.

2: Asador Etxebarri

Chef Arguinzoniz's barbecue cuisine has been on the World's Best list for ages. It doesn't come as a surprise, after all, the Basque chef's fire is the result of 30 years of perfected barbecue artistry. He has now moved up to second place on the 2024 list of the best restaurants. Everything that ends up on the plates has previously passed over his grill. And as a fan of meat, there are meatless accompaniments, but no special menus for vegetarians. Nevertheless, one particularly noteworthy course on the 14-course tasting menu doesn't require any meat at all: the grilled tomato with mozzarella. The chef makes the latter from the milk of his own buffalo.
