“NO SIGN, NUMBER OR LIST MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY”

Virgilio Martinez, the “new star on Lima’s gastronomic firmament” or “the king in the ceviche country”, as he’s also known, is a 39-year-old chef who has decided to share the complexity of his country from Central, by using ingredients that have not been documented, but he has discovered them during his inroads in marine spaces, Andean areas, extremely high hills, and high and low jungles.

With the support of an interdisciplinary team and using his restaurant as a true laboratory of tastes, he tries to go beyond the strictly culinary limit and makes inroads into nutritional, biological and anthropological aspects. That’s why nobody was surprised when The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2016 ranked Central in the fourth global position, the first one in Peru and the whole Latin America.
