CRISTIAN GOYA

Nestled within the serene grounds of Jumeirah Al Naseem, the effortlessly cool Kayto showcases an exotic blend of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine known as ‘Nikkei’. Chef Cristian Goya’s innovative menu is complemented by a vibrant atmosphere, talented in-house mixologist, and stunning views of the ever-iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. Chef Goya’s grandparents sailed from Japan to Argentina with nothing. They quickly became part of a vibrant immigrant community in Buenos Aires and eventually established a thriving horticultural business. This endeavor has been an inspiration for Goya throughout his career. Since childhood, the young chef had an appreciation for quality food, shaped by two distinct cultural heritages. He took influences from both and combined them to create a unique and experimental cooking style. After many years working in restaurants and hotels in Los Angeles, Paris and Geneva, he returned to Argentina to work in the family business, farming fresh fruit and vegetables. At KAYTO, Chef Christian has expertly blended mouth-watering Peruvian flavours with iconic Japanese culinary traditions to create an outstanding menu that is certain to delight. From ceviches and salads to tempura and tataki, the menu takes you on a journey showcasing what we feel are the highlights of Peruvian-Nikkei cuisine.
