"It isn’t easy to choose one option from the excellent variety of cebiches at this unassuming restaurant in the Jesús María neighborhood, an area that’s off the beaten track for a lot of tourists. Don Fernando specializes in traditional northern Peruvian food, and the quality of their seafood is fantastic. Opt for the elegant purple crab cebiche; the species is only found on the Pacific coast from Ecuador down to northern Chile, and it isn’t commonly served, even in Lima. The leche de tigre is made with smashed crab meat from the claws, which is sweet and delicate, combined with seafood broth, salt, a little bit of garlic, ají limo (a spicy and tasty chile), lime juice, cilantro, and rocotos (red hot Peruvian peppers)." - Liliana López Sorzano
