The annual San Pellegrino list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants is eagerly anticipated by gourmands across the world and this year several of the best restaurants in South America made the world’s top 50: we were particularly pleased to see some of our favourite restaurants in Lima making the list.
However, obviously it can’t ALL be South America, and last night the awards dinner was held for the new list of Latin America’s 50 best restaurants. It was held at the Country Club hotel in Lima, and we were delighted to see Astrid y Gaston voted as the Best restaurant in South America, and its head chef Gaston Acurio also given a lifetime achievement award.
