Tasting the rainbow: Pía León rose to fame as the head chef of Central, which was named The World’s Best Restaurant in 2023. But in 2018, she felt the need to express her culinary vision in an independent way. Kjolle is her first solo restaurant, where she zeros in on Peru’s vibrant pantry and lets her gastronomic instincts run wild.
Simple, but not easy: At Kjolle, León strives to preserve natural flavours – her dishes show a high level of research and testing, but the produce is always recognisable and never overly manipulated. This process, however, is far from easy: León and the team spend months researching the best ways to use each part of the ingredient to create the least possible amount of waste, while maximising flavour and adding unexpected elements.
