Bar /M: the party at the bar
A long corridor with a bar . But not an ordinary bar, one of those traditional bars to which we are accustomed -waiter on one side, customer on the other-, but an asymmetric metallic and with access from both sides where diners sit on stools (not as spacious or as comfortable as would be desirable) as a single table.
The inconveniences enter into the script **(and after the meal they are forgotten) **. Ascetic decoration, lighting that changes throughout the day and background music that tends to electronic cumbias as the music fades . As if we were in a bar in Lima, but on liberty street , in Chueca.

A lot of cooking and a lot of entertainment, both by the same actors, The chefs , which finish the cold dishes in sight ( Thai or mixed ceviche, aguachile, beef sirloin tartar with homemade soy pickles and burnt herbs or stuffed avocado ) ; and that they serve -with storytelling included- the hot ones (shiitake tempura, green curry tongue or salted loins) that come from the kitchen.
Decorate with coriander leaves, water with lime juice, apply the torch, macerate and season to the sound of cocktail shakers shaken by the bartenders on the side . They come out of them unprecedented piscos , for those who prefer to pair them with dishes than with a Cusco.
Everything convinces, from the delicious gyozas chilangas to chupe. Tasty, balanced, fresh and surprising dishes.
Ceviche Thay
The conductor of this orchestra (more in the image of Mayumaná than of a philharmonic) is none other than Omar Malpartida , which had already charmed us with its ceviches and chaufa rice dishes in Tiradito and in Chambi, with its bao buns and sandwiches cooked in the Chinese box and the Peruvian cylinder in the Chamberí market .
He now opens a new space, which he has baptized nothing less than c with the initial of your last name (although many of us thought it was due to the shape of the table). He hits again, and this time he stands out with a street food, fast and casual, but that continues to maintain the seal of the house. Eye-catching mixes that work in the mouth, refreshing and exotic dishes presented in an attractive and colorful way, and desserts with names, shapes and ingenious flavors that in many cases evoke childhood , like the chups, which are nothing other than the flases of yesteryear but made with natural fruit pulp.
Pisco of /M
And also fantastic service. In short, a place to return to again and again; to cool off and enjoy the Peruvian gastronomy with excellent value for money (in a neighborhood where the food is not always up to par with the locals and what you pay for it). Also until late hours.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Their chocolate dessert is already worth the visit.
