“Culinary traditions from all different eras and every corner of Peru are reunited in our kitchen with a new perspective.” Creative, bold, playful: thus is the culinary style of Astrid & Gastón, which opened its first location in 1994 on Calle Cantuarias. Every dish is served with a little piece of Peru, the country with which the restaurant’s owners and namesakes, Astrid and Gastón, have long been utterly enamored.
