Mission Ceviche

"Ceviche and tartare made on the spot, an octopus with cilantro oil, and a long list of seafood, risottos, and other cooked dishes — all sans gluten— come alive at these Peruvian restaurants (multiple locations). The food is bright, colorful, and fresh. Add in the expansive menu of tequilas and cocktails, plus the beautiful design, and the stage is set for a great night out." - Shivani Vora

"This Peruvian restaurant on 2nd Avenue specializes in seafood and cocktails, like a classic white fish ceviche bathing in a zippy leche de tigre, and a number of takes on the pisco sour. The dining room, with its wraparound bar and neon sign that reads “Tiger Milk Effect,” gets as busy as a club. If you’re seeking a slightly calmer energy, sit on the sidewalk patio." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah

"Meeting uptown but don’t want to go to the same (possibly snoozy) place you always go? Try this Upper East Side Peruvian restaurant. They specialize in seafood and cocktails, like a classic white fish ceviche bathing in a zippy leche de tigre. There are also plenty of options for siblings who want to share—including their lomo saltado and large-format cocktails—as well as single-portion entrees. We’d recommend sitting on the plant-decorated sidewalk patio (which feels secluded from the busy street), unless your family is alright with a particularly loud dining room." - hannah albertine, kenny yang

"Rosé is a bit like ceviche. They’re both pleasant to look at, they run the gamut from light and simple to layered and complex, and they’re exactly what you want on the table when the sun seems to have taken a particular interest in your discomfort. They both should be on your table at this Peruvian spot on the Upper East Side." - matt tervooren

"This East 70s Peruvian restaurant specializes in seafood and cocktails, like a classic white fish ceviche bathing in a zippy leche de tigre and a number of takes on the pisco sour. Plus, there are plenty of options for anyone who wants to share, including their lomo saltado and large-format cocktails. The dining room—with its wrap-around bar, indoor ivy walls, and a neon sign that reads “Tiger Milk Effect”—can feel like a club. If you’re seeking a slightly calmer energy but still want great ceviche, sit on the plant-decorated sidewalk patio (which feels secluded from the busy street)." - hannah albertine, neha talreja, bryan kim
