This stylish spot in the heart of the city blends South-East Asian flavours with local produce and Andean touches, so you’ll find things like a quinoa-based Pad Thai, green-curry-inspired ceviche, alongside refreshing Kao iced tea and other inventive drinks. The menu also often includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Many diners rave about the bold, unusual pairings and presentation — think vibrant curries complemented by local herbs or citrusy seafood dishes that give a nod to both countries’ culinary traditions. The ambience is modern and inviting, and because the kitchen is partially open you can sometimes watch the chefs in action.

WE loved the:

• Pad Thai with quinoa — a lighter, Andean-twist on the classic.

• Green curry ceviche or Amazon curry rice — fusion dishes that showcase local seafood and Thai-style sauces.

• Bao buns or BBQ pork with Peruvian sides — bold flavour combos that surprise most visitors.
  

Rough costs: Expect moderate prices — dinner for two with drinks can end up around ~55–70 USD total depending on what you order — which a lot of guests find reasonable for the quality and creativity on the plate.

If you want a memorable, flavour-packed meal that’s different from typical local cuisine but still firmly anchored in Peru’s vibrant food scene, Kao Thai and Peruvian Cuisine is well worth stopping by.
