I had the privilege of visiting this restaurant 15 years ago and it had been my favorite of that trip. I was back a few days ago, and once again, it was the best of the bunch. I have eaten ceviche all over the world… and all over Lima, which, of course, is the capital of ceviche. For several members of my family and I, the ceviche at Platillos is fantastic and the one with cashew may be our favorite, anywhere.
I was happy to learn that they are true to roots and focus on local products. Their standout dishes focus on fish from the Pacific Ocean. We tried several, including the red curry… it was all great, truly.
If you enjoy tasting local distillates, ask for their artisanal aguardiente (much better that the mass produced brands that are heavy on the licorice and sugar) or their signature cocktails. Their desserts are all good.
