ABOUT DIEGO MUÑOZ
Widely renowned as one of the world’s most talented and creative chefs, Peruvian Diego Muñoz, an ambassador of the South American heritage around the world, has kicked off a new path as a free rider chef. While creating a diversity of locally-focused culinary operations in Europe, Asia and South America, he also takes part of unique ephemeral experiences across the globe.
An El Bulli alumnus, he was considered by the New York Times Magazine as one of four nomadic chefs to watch after dedicating 2016 to a global exploration that took him through twenty different countries, kitchens and cultures across Europe, Middle East, Asia and the Americas, working on collaborations, festivals, lectures, philanthropic and gastronomic events that challenged his culinary creativity.
Trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Canada and Paris, and awarded with “Le Grande Diplôme” distinction, Diego evolved as a cook at the mythical Spanish restaurants Mugaritz and El Bulli, learning from Andoni Luis Aduriz and Ferrán Adriá. He then moved to Australia to revitalize the kitchen of Bilson’s, recovering their second hat and getting the nomination for Chef of the Year in 2011.
After 15 years abroad he returned to his hometown, Lima, to take back on his own culinary heritage and to lead one of the most important projects in Peruvian gastronomy. During the four years as the Head Chef of Astrid & Gastón, he brought the restaurant to #14 on The World's 50 Best Restaurant’s List and to #1 on The Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants List.
It was at the height of his success that, faithful to his aim to evolve, he moved from Astrid & Gastón to travel the world in search of inspiration, culinary exchange and a deep learning on local produce and sustainability, working with chefs and crews from as many different backgrounds. As a down-to-earth free rider, Diego finds creative balance through exploration and simplicity, always in connection with local traditions and culinary landscapes.
Already in charge of a diversity of projects, Diego kicks off 2018 leading the astonishing Belmond Andean Explorer, the first sleeper luxury train in South America that rides across the Andes of Perú, and the buzzing Cantina Peruana in Lisbon, together with Portuguese Star Chef José Avillez. With two more operations growing, the bistró PMY PapaMaizYuca in Copenhagen, with chefs Karlos Ponte and Emilio Macías, and the recently opened BRAVA, Kitchen and Morena at The Bodrum EDITION in Turkey, he has now opened a new project in Perú: ATMAN, an open table where he goes as free within his own home.
