Ceviche isn’t food for everyone. Some people adore it, others feel queasy at the very sight - for me it’s sometimes a mood of “I want ceviche” (something between loving it and not).
I’d noticed this place a long time ago because when you walk past on the street you can see a giant octopus on the ceiling inside. So the other day I had “I want ceviche” mood, and passing the giant octopus I popped in for lunch.
There were plenty of free tables at first, but literally about ten minutes after I arrived they were all filled.
I ordered the restaurant’s bestseller - CEVICHE DE SALMÃO E PITAIA.
Its presentation alone deserves a separate paragraph. The attention to every detail, to every single piece - I wanted to study it, taste it in parts, and photograph every inch.
The combination of coconut jelly, fresh fish, fruit, tapioca, avocado purée and toasted coconut flakes was simply incredible. But honestly, for me there was too much onion. Sometimes, when my fork picked up a few ingredients, the onion overpowered the rest.
I’ll definitely come back later in the day to try other types of ceviche and their signature pisco sour.
