"Maty’s makes Peruvian dishes adapted from the chef’s family recipes—the same family whose photos line the simple white walls of the spacious Midtown restaurant. The menu changes all the time, but you can usually find a couple ceviche options (order them all). But the big protein dishes are where Maty’s really goes all out. The one non-negotiable plate from that section of the menu is the whole roasted dorade, an unbelievably tender fish served butterflied so it looks like it’s been flattened by a steamroller. The oxtail saltado is another unbelievably good option. Most dishes are meant to be shared, and they have tables great for big groups. So keep Maty’s on your shortlist for a fun dinner with friends.
