Peruvian restaurants Central, Maido, and Mayta have been included on the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, known as the Oscars of gastronomy.
During its recent edition held in London, the jury chose Central —owned by chef Virgilio Martinez— as the second-best restaurant in the world and the best restaurant in South America.
It should be noted that Central was previously crowned The Greatest Restaurant in Latin America 2013-2021.
Meanwhile, Maido —by chef Mitsuharu Tsumura— occupies the 11th place of the current list.
In addition, Mayta —by chef Jaime Pesaque— joined said list, taking 32nd place.
The list —in which Geranium (in Copenhagen, Denmark) was named the World’s Best Restaurant 2022— is the result of a poll of 1,080 experts, including specialized journalists, cooks, and food lovers across 27 regions around the world.
Regarding Central, the jury highlighted the Peruvian heritage and biodiversity.
As for Maido, the judges underlined how Peru and Japan unite to create an explosion of fantastic flavor.
In the case of Mayta, the organizers invited diners to enjoy its colorful cuisine and cocktails.
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, was unveiled in London at a live awards ceremony on Monday 18th July.
The celebration marked the 20th year of the list, creating a fantastic opportunity to bring an incredible community of chefs together from around the world.
Lima Airport Partners (LAP) —a concessionaire of Lima-based Jorge Chavez International Airport— last week announced that flights at said air terminal will not be operated from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. for two months (between August 29 and October 29).
During this time, preventive maintenance work will be carried out on the runway, platform, and maneuvering areas of the airport.
“Regarding the maintenance work that will be carried out on the current runway at Jorge Chavez Airport, from August 29 to October 29, 2022, LAP states that this work will be completed within the framework of the Preventive Maintenance Plan for the runway, platform, and maneuvering areas,” LAP stated.
According to the concessionaire, the plan “was communicated with due anticipation, in November 2021, thus complying with the provisions of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC).”
The operating company clarified that this measure should not lead to the cancellation or rescheduling of flights because airlines were informed in advance about it.
“Airlines are provided with this information opportunely by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) of the MTC, from which they request approval for their flight itineraries,” LAP said.
“This type of work is scheduled in advance. Therefore, the aeronautical authority proceeds to suspend the flights during these time periods. Thus, this measure does not result in the cancellation or rescheduling of flights,” it added.
