our spirits in the scene
Crafted in the gastronomic heart of South America, our portfolio is proudly poured at Lima’s most iconic venues, including several recognized among the World’s 50 Best. We are honored to partner with the visionary bartenders and chefs who are redefining Peruvian mixology and putting our liquid heritage on the global stage.
MAIDO
Maido has won the title of Best Restaurant in Latin America four times since joining the list in 2013. After being named Best Restaurant in South America in 2024, acclaimed chef Tsumura was chosen by his peers as the winner of the Estrella Damm Chefs’ Choice Award 2024.
This year, Maido has reached the top and has been named The World’s Best Restaurant 2025.
MÉRITO
It is a cozy two-story venue with an open kitchen as its main feature. Located in the trendy Barranco district, its industrial tavern-style dining room creates the perfect setting to present Venezuelan dishes made with Peruvian ingredients.
The appetizers are crafted with creativity; the char siu, a glazed pork belly with a gamey touch, served with fluffy arepas, has won over many regular guests. The desserts also stand out for their originality, using local products—one notable example is a light pastry made with papa voladora, coffee, and lúcuma.
Clon
Clon’s cuisine is deeply committed to sourcing some of Peru’s most exclusive ingredients. This is the third project by Venezuelan chef Juan Luis Martínez, who also leads Mérito, located right next door, and Demo, just a few meters away.
In the bohemian district of Barranco, where excellent dining options are abundant, Clon stands out for its masterful use of local products in sophisticated Venezuelan recipes. The menu changes with the seasons and with Martínez’s constant exploration of regional producers, featuring signature dishes such as pisco clams with leche de tigre and grilled scallops glazed with cacao honey and coconut cream.
Isolina
Located in a charming historic mansion in bohemian Barranco, chef José del Castillo serves delicious dishes that evoke nostalgia through traditional Peruvian cuisine at this iconic Latin American restaurant, recognized as one of The 50 Best Restaurants.
Named after his mother, Isolina specializes in generous traditional dishes, mostly from Lima, designed for sharing. For those with a hearty appetite, Castillo’s many offal-based dishes—such as beef brain omelet or tripe stew with fried blood—are highly addictive and deeply authentic. Book a table upstairs to enjoy a lively atmosphere and photogenic décor.
Matria
This restaurant, with its cement floors and dim lighting, feels like the natural next step for Peruvian chef Arlette Eulert Checa, whose passion for food was nurtured by her grandmothers—one Italian and the other Bolivian.
The name Matria refers to Mother Earth, and this respect for Peruvian ingredients—quinoa, cacao, cassava—and the people who produce them is at the heart of her cuisine. The menus are inventive, creative, and above all, delicious: crispy croquettes revealing slow-cooked oxtail, a moist white chocolate and pomegranate sponge cake, and grilled pork belly served in a spicy, finger-licking sauce. There is a reason she was named Peru’s Best Female Chef in 2018.
Siete
Located on a beautiful street in bohemian Barranco, Siete is the first restaurant by chef Ricardo Martins, who trained under prolific Lima restaurateur Rafael Osterling.
With a carefully curated soundtrack ranging from rock to jazz, Martins serves creative modern dishes with Mediterranean influence and an Asian touch, such as the catch-of-the-day tiradito with ginger, razor clams, and vermouth, or sweetbreads with apple purée. There is also an excellent selection of fresh pasta, including pumpkin ravioli and pappardelle with duck ragù, while the melted cheesecake stands out as an unmissable classic.
Everything is served across a series of stunning high-ceilinged rooms inside a century-old house with wood paneling. Siete attracts a young, food-loving crowd with its refined sharing plates and exceptional classic cocktails—try an oak-aged negroni to start the night in style.
