ámaZ

Top choice in Lima


Chef Pedro Miguel's wonder is wholly dedicated to the abundance of the Amazon. Start with tart jungle-fruit cocktails and oversized tostones (plantain chips). Banana-leaf wraps, aka juanes, hold treasures such as fragrant Peking duck with rice. There's excellent encurtido (pickled vegetables) and the generous vegetarian set menu for two is a delicious way to sample the diversity.

ÁmaZ has a popular circular bar and coveted thatched-roof tables.
