Madam Tusan

Gaston Acurio elevates the Peruvian-Chinese corner restaurant into a destination.

  • Address: Av. Santa Cruz 859
  • District: Miraflores
  • Cuisine: Chifa (Peruvian-Chinese)
  • Chef / group: Grupo Acurio

Chifa, Peru's Chinese-Peruvian cuisine, is usually simple and inexpensive. Madam Tusan, from Grupo Acurio and led by chef Félix Loo, reinvents it as an upscale destination, with a massive menu, dim sum, original pisco-Asian cocktails and dramatic decor, including a suspended red acrylic dragon that makes the meal part of the show. Signature dishes include the chaufa Félix, a fried rice with chicken, roast pork and shrimp, duck with peaches and a rotating dim sum selection. The portions are generous, so the best plan is to share a few dim sum dishes alongside a chaufa or noodle dish. Madam Tusan ranked #5 in Chifa and Chinese Cuisine at the Premios Summum 2026. It is at Av. Santa Cruz 859, in Miraflores, open daily from 12 pm to 12 am in the dining room. It suits travelers curious about Peru's Chinese immigrant heritage expressed through food, in a lively, design-forward setting.
