classic cebiche
Something happens in the menus of the restaurants that do not stop showing off their "corvina ceviches" and their "pisco sours"; something happens that for a few years, Peru invades some lost line of these menus , whatever type they are.
The Peruvian cuisine has been in the mouth and on the gastronomy table of our country for years, but perhaps now is when we truly enjoy it and value it as it deserves . These restaurants are the epitome of Peruvian cuisine in Madrid; They are the ones that for years (or with their recent openings) have put Peru on the palate of the most exquisite Madrilenians.
We have knocked on the doors of their kitchens to find out... what is cooked in Peru?

QUISPE
“Peruvian tapas and pisco bar ” is the subtitle of this restaurant, the (pen) last Peruvian who arrived in Madrid eager to renew the idea that was had of the andean gastronomy and, above all, determined to change the experience: to Quispe you go out for lunch and dinner, to try traditional dishes, but in Quispe you also stay for their drinks.
Quispe is a restaurant and a bar. Alex Vargas he is in charge of the menu, "clear and direct" that is divided into hot and cold cuisine; and Izael Ramos he designs the cocktails, among which, of course, the ** pisco sour ** triumphs.
They designed and created it as "a place you don't want to leave" and in the few months that it has been open it has permeated the city.

THE CEVICUCHERIA
ceviches and anticuchos . The name of La Cevicuchería is born from two of the most popular and street dishes in Peru. And as announced, ceviches and anticuchos are the stars of the second restaurant opened in Madrid by the young Peruvian chef, Miguel Angel Valdiviezo , after the success of Tampo .
If Tampu is "innovation and tradition", The cevicuchería is, above all, tradition . It is where Valdiviezo pulls from memory, from memories of seeing his "nana" in the kitchen, and from everything he learned from his teacher, Gloria Hinostroza , at the Cordon Bleu school.
From La Cevicuchería, Miguel Ángel Valdiviezo wants to transport diners to the fishmongers and to the streets of Lima with extremely high flame grills. Smells, flavors and colors of a unique gastronomy, away from the busiest of Madrid.
