Peruvian food is the fusion of Quechua-Aymara Andean ingredients (potato, quinoa, ají chiles, corn), Spanish colonial techniques, Chinese (chifa) and Japanese (Nikkei) immigrant traditions, and African Pacific-coast influences. Lima's modern restaurant scene led by Central (Virgilio Martínez), Maido (Mitsuharu Tsumura), and Astrid y Gastón made Peru the World's 50 Best capital of the 2010s.
