Peruvian eatery with ceviche, cocktails, and rainforest vibes
"A Peruvian eatery on the buzzy U Street corridor recommended for glistening ceviche and pisco sours." - Eater Staff
"The space is snug, romantic and trendy; its cooking is notably creative; and beverages are reviving. Tastefully decked out with artwork, smoky mirrors and a full bar, gracious servers along with plush seats will lull you into a soothing and delicious meal.Chef Cristian Granada's dynamic menu certainly leans Peruvian, it also embraces the nation's wide terrain—from the coast all the way to influences from Europe and Asia. Behold the tiradito, featuring sashimi-grade ahi tuna with a passion fruit-and-orange sauce. Classics, like ají de gallina, is served with rice; while the much raved-about arroz chaufa is a global delight. Desserts, like the seasonal flan, warrant bright, beaming smiles." - Michelin Inspector
"El Secreto de Rosita is a popular Peruvian restaurant that also has a fantastic bar. It’s a great spot for late night drinks with friends since time just seems to fly by here. Their signature cocktails play with pisco or whiskey and an assortment of fruity and floral flavors. Try the atardecer, a drink made with pisco, passion fruit, and lime—a drink that can only be described as tasting like flowers in full bloom. Also, they might have one of the prettiest bathrooms we’ve seen in DC." - omnia saed
