Eating at Chez Wong is one of the premier culinary experiences in Lima
Javier Wong is one of the most famous chefs in Lima, however, unless you have the exact address you won't know where to go. His restaurant, called Sankuay (but nicknamed and better known as Chez Wong) has no sign and the door is closed at all times. It's in an informal house setting in not the greatest part of Lima.
There are no menus here. wong takes one look at you and tells you what you what you will be having. It is based on what is fresh and generally consists of an entrada and a main plate. On my visit the entrada was a ceviche with octopus and lenguado (with lots of pepper which is unusual). The main plate was a saltado (stir fry) with fish that seemingly melted in your mouth.
