Our Story
Peruvian tradition, passion for gastronomy and hospitality in the heart of Basel.
WHO WE ARE
More than a restaurant, a Peruvian experience
At Lima 31, we believe that gastronomy is much more than just food: it’s a way to share culture, tradition, and hospitality. Each dish we serve combines authentic Peruvian recipes with fresh ingredients and meticulous presentation to offer an unforgettable experience.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Each dish tells a story.
Lima is not only the capital of Peru, it’s one of the world’s most important culinary capitals. It’s also home to more than 12 million people who work hard with their hands and cook with heart and passion.
I’m one of those people, who spent my childhood in the Lima 31 neighborhood, where I grew up in my grandmother’s house. Everything here is a tribute to her work, her cooking, her life, and her love.
FRESH INGREDIENTS
All our ingredients go through a selection process to ensure we always have the freshest and highest quality supplies possible.
GLUTEN FREE
All our dishes are made with cornstarch, therefore none of them contain gluten.
HOSPITALITY
At Lima31, hospitality begins with a warm welcome. We take care of every detail so our guests feel at home and enjoy a welcoming, warm, and memorable experience.
OUR KITCHEN
Passion that savors
At Lima31, we carefully select each ingredient to guarantee freshness and quality. We combine the tradition of Peruvian cuisine with a contemporary presentation, creating dishes that reflect the passion, care, and dedication we put into every preparation.
