About Don Ceviche

A Manhattan company built on traditional Peruvian cuisine.

Since 2017 Don Ceviche has cooked the food of Peru the way it is cooked there — with recipes kept intact and a large share of ingredients brought from Peru.

About Don Ceviche

Traditional Peruvian cuisine, cooked with Peru's own ingredients.

Our concept is simple and hard to copy: cook traditional Peruvian recipes with a large share of ingredients brought from Peru. The ají, the corn, the spices and the techniques travel — that is why the flavour tastes like Peru and not like an interpretation of it.

Don Ceviche opened in 2017 and is now a Manhattan company: two locations with their own menus, a catering and private events division, and one documented kitchen standard that every site and every event runs on.

What makes the flavour different.

Three decisions shape every plate we serve, in both locations and at every event.

01 Ingredients from Peru Ají amarillo, ají panca, Peruvian corn and spices travel from Peru to our kitchens. That is the difference you taste.
02 Traditional recipes Ceviche, lomo saltado, anticuchos and pollo a la brasa, cooked as they are in Peru — not reinterpreted.
03 One kitchen standard The same recipes, prep and service run in every location and every catering event.
