There’s plenty of fish in the sea, but this one’s definitely a catch.
Villa Peru Modern Peruvian Cuisine is hosting another Ceviche Festival from Thursday, April 19 – Saturday, April 21.
Twice a year, Villa Peru highlights the refreshing dish of fish marinated in citrus juice, and this time 13 authentic Peruvian versions of ceviche will be on the menu for you to try.
The ceviche is made to order, which combines a seasonal catch of different seafoods with a Leche De Tigre citrus-based marinade of lime and ají (pronounced ah-HEE) peppers.
Many of the ceviches at the festival are not usually on their regular menu, so you’ll want to try them before they’re gone.
