This stylish restaurant on the Plaza de Armas, brings the Peruvian shore right to the heart of the Andes. This modern cevicheria (a restaurant devoted to ceviche) only utilizes the best fish and shellfish as well as neighborhood active ingredients, which will unquestionably make you feel like you are resting exactly on the anchors delighting in the catch of the day. Ceviche (or: cebiche) is a Peruvian seafood recipe generally made from fresh raw fish marinated in lemmon juice, spiced with unions and hot peppers.

One of my finest meals in Cusco was at Ceviche Seafood Kitchen (also called Ceviche Meat & Wine Co.) This upscale restaurant is bright and modern, with professional and welcoming staff. It is conveniently located right at the northwestern corner of the Plaza de Armas, with a few tables offering plaza views. Most dishes I saw being served at Ceviche Seafood Kitchen were picture worthy.

Peru is also famous for ceviche – even recognised by UNESCO as an intangible part of Peruvian heritage. So I had to include a top spot to try it for yourself and that’s perfectly named, Ceviche Seafood Kitchen. The reviews of this place speak for themselves, the food is incredibly high quality, the seafood is fresh and the flavours are authentic.

You may think that just because it’s located on the main square, it must be a tourist trap. But even though it’s not the cheapest restaurant in town, the quality is up there. If you can, choose a seat by the window side on the second floor, to enjoy a great view of Cusco’s Plaza de Armas.

It’s a long national tradition, it is raw fish in small chunks, cooked for hours only by a lot of lemon juice. On the side, it comes with sweet potato, lettuce, onion, corn, algae and can be spicy or not. It’s really a heavenly dish.

We kept trying to find a place a local had told us about but failed and thought, well shit they have good reviews on TripAdvisor, let’s give them a try. WOW WOW WOW. I am so glad we did!. Ceviche Kitchen was such an awesome place.

It's exactly as its described - superb seafood in a light, airy, modern top-floor restaurant (most around the square are, by the way, unless you head to McDonald's or Starbucks) with friendly service and mostly tourist clientele.

Ceviche seafood kitchen, located on the plaza actually, needs no explanation. Even though Cuzco is not located at the coast, it is still worth going here for a typical Peruvian ceviche dish, along with a Pisco sour.

If you can’t wait until to Lima to start enjoying ceviche, check out Ceviche Seafood Kitchen in Plaza de Armas. It’s the closest thing to a Lima-style cevichería I’ve seen in Cusco (I think they fly in their fish).

Ideal for people with celiac disease, they understand the subject very well and advise you or adjust the dish so that it can be gluten-free.
