In addition to Mayta, Pesaque runs other restaurants in Lima, including Sapiens, 500 Grados and Mad Burger. But that\u2019s not all. The chef has also exported his deeply distinctive cuisine to other parts of the world: to The Hague, for example, in the Netherlands, where he runs the Callao restaurant, and to Miami, where he is head of the NUNA project, which focuses on Nikkei cuisine. All that remains is to choose one of the many addresses to experience the soul of Peru first-hand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5d9c5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5d9c5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>(Yachay &#8211; The joy of experimenting &#8211; Barchemagazine.com &#8211; Excerpted from Barche, April 2026)<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a lively workshop where Jaime Pesaque, one of the world\u2019s most highly regarded chefs, and his team explore [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":254677,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33875],"tags":[43555,43557],"class_list":["post-254800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boat-gourmet-en","tag-jaime-pesaque-en","tag-yachay-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
