On a chilly Saturday night, I decided to try the new Peruvian place, La Peruana Cevicheria, close…read moreto home and in a few blocks I was inside this colourful restaurant with an extremely friendly bar - the 2 versions of pisco I tried were really nice and not small when it came to serving size. Ask the bartender for his recommendations and he definitely knows how to pamper you. The ambient is laid back, Spanish music in the background and the place is good for quilt bites or small groups (max 4 recommended). Wasn't very hungry so just tried the 'Ceviche Mixto' - the flavours really pop and it's a very nicely served individual portion - you could share it but you wouldn't want to. La Peruana is originally a food truck that has now opened 'cevicherias' - fixed restaurants. The principal staff like the ceviche chef, barman etc are Peruvian and they do a great job. One place I have to return !

It wasn't too crowded when I arrived shortly after 7pm, but it soon became pretty full, reflecting its apparent popularity. I wasn't too sure how to order--are the ceviches intended as a starter or a main, and what size is everything?--but the staff are helpful, and I decided to have anticuchos of veal heart as a starter, followed by the ceviche mixto, and see how I got on with that. I also ordered a Pisco sour, of course. The anticuchos come as two skewers with four slices of meat on each, together with a spicy sauce. This was really excellent, with deep flavours, good texture and just the right amount of food. The ceviche came next, and it looked wonderful, with bright colours and plated appealingly. I sat at the bar, so I saw the chef make each batch of ceviche to order, tasting the marinade each time to make sure it was well balanced between citrus, salt and spice. Mine was surely excellent, and I decided there was no need to have anything else. Pricing is very reasonable, too.

All the staff are from Peru; what makes the experience even more credible! The place is simple, loud and it's not about cozy, comfortable and beauty, only taste! Price is another great point: extremely honest. Believe. A con is that it's always extremely full and have line to seat. Just be aware about it. I've tried many dishes and You must choose the classic Ceviche. Also all the plates with rice and do not get out there without trying the homemade Alfajor. It's a must.
