Why they're an Icon
MICHELIN 1 Star2023
From the OpenTable editors: This MICHELIN-starred stunner from chef Carlos Delgado is an ode to his native Peru. In the colorful, 26-seat spot with an iced fish counter display and open kithen, Delgo prepares dishes that star rare catches from Japan and beyond, plus South American-forward plates that could include bomba rice with uni and caviar. Toast with a glass of pisco from the restaurant's 100-plus bottle collection.
