Food Service Investment S.A.C. - Lima

We dined at Maido on the last night of our 3-week trip to Peru and it was the cherry on top of a wonderful time in a beautiful country! The two of us both enjoyed the chef 's tasting menu and my husband also had the...wine pairing. Since the tasting menu varies daily, it 's difficult to review individual dishes, but, suffice it to say, that we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience! I especially enjoyed the Amazonic potato snack, the Tempura fish with native potato sauce, and the bivalves with seafoam and crackers. Both desserts were outstanding as well: the creative serving of ice cream in a coconut shell and the chocolate yumminess with nuts and mochis. If you 're in Lima and can score a meal at Maido, go for it! It 's worth the time and money.

Food was truly exceptional. Wine program is excellent under the head sommelier Florencia. Only issue to consider is the same one raised by other reviewers as it relates to service charges. When the bill came, I asked explicitly if service was included in the tasting...menu and the waiter said no and asked if we could tip in cash. Therefore tipped generously to US standards assuming that the 10% base tip wasn’t included (which other restaurants in Peru did for US visitors knowing that we typically tip higher than the 10% . Turns out a service charge was embedded in the prix fixe price (and not shown as a service charge so in short left way too much. Overall left a bad taste after a truly stunning meal.

Fui y pedí a la carta. Recomiendo esta dinámica para poder probar distintos platos a su gusto. Excelente comida Nikkei, excelente carta de tragos y excelente atención.

Fantastic restaurant, very creative fusion (Japanese-peruvean-western). 12 curs diner was great and very affordable! right for the wee great and affordable! when in lima it is a must to go there!

We went to maido to sit at the sushi bar, were welcomed by the entire restaurant staff and were a great start. we ordered the nikkei omakase and were very impressed for 4 courses. 5 courses in, smoke began billowing from the...kitchen and commotion started from the staff. from this point on, service was scattered and we waited 20 minutes between the curses. we asked ourselves about our check before the end of the meal due to the problems. while the quality of the food was great, it was an abandoned night regarding service. while I understand that dinge happen, it is a hard pill to swallow when they pay 200usd per plate.
