For the first time, Peru will host The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, one of the world’s most prestigious gastronomic events. The ceremony will take place in Lima on November 4, 2026, further establishing the Peruvian capital as a leading international destination for gastronomy, tourism, and major events.
Lima’s selection as the host city represents another milestone in the global recognition of Peruvian gastronomy. It also marks a historic achievement, as Lima becomes the first city in South America to host this prestigious event.
Lima at the Heart of Global Gastronomy
Peru is experiencing one of the most remarkable moments in its culinary history. In 2025, Maido was named the World’s Best Restaurant, following in the footsteps of Central, which reached the top of the global ranking in 2023.
Now, with the arrival of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026, Lima will welcome renowned chefs, industry leaders, international media, and travelers from around the world.
Throughout this major gastronomic week, events such as #50BestTalks, the 50 Best Signature Sessions, the Chefs’ Feast, and the highly anticipated awards ceremony will provide an exceptional platform to showcase the diversity, ingredients, and talent that define Peruvian cuisine.
An Opportunity for Tourism and the Hospitality Industry
Hosting an event of this magnitude goes far beyond gastronomy. Its impact extends to tourism, hospitality, and the local economy, strengthening Peru’s position as a destination capable of hosting world-class international events.
The arrival of chefs, media representatives, opinion leaders, and visitors from around the globe also presents an opportunity to showcase Lima’s infrastructure, renowned hospitality, and exceptional range of experiences.
