About Maido

Maido is the clearest argument that Nikkei cooking is not fusion anymore; it is its own fully mature language. Mitsuharu Tsumura's kitchen moves between sushi-bar precision, Peruvian acidity, Amazonian ingredients, rich broths, and the comfort of rice and noodles without losing its thread. The Miraflores dining room has more warmth than many world-ranked restaurants, which helps the technical courses feel generous rather than remote. Its 2025 World's 50 Best win simply confirmed what Lima diners had known for years.

  1. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    The cooking is polished without feeling anonymous, especially when the kitchen leans into nikkei detail instead of luxury for its own sake. It is expensive, but the service rhythm and wine advice made the longer menu feel measured.

  2. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    Maido feels completely anchored in Miraflores: the room, pacing, and nikkei experience all make the meal feel specific rather than imported. The strongest courses had a clear point of view and enough restraint to avoid turning dinner into a demonstration.
