Lima Opened 2025

A Maido-trained chef's own counter, seats optional

Marco Palma cooked at Maido for years before opening this tiny counter in Surquillo, and the omakase runs on whatever showed up that morning. You sit facing the itamae. That's the entire design brief.

There's Peruvian cooking mixed in with the nigiri, like a mixed ceviche made from the day's catch and served with chicharrón. One visit brought chita with octopus and fried squid. Book ahead, the counter seats very few.
