Ceviche is Lima's signature dish, and the cevicheria is where the city eats it, fresh from the cold Humboldt current at lunchtime. La Mar Cebicheria, Pescados Capitales and Punto Azul lead the Miraflores cluster, while Canta Rana sits in Barranco alongside the beachfront Cala Restaurante. For the rawer edges of the genre there is Sankuay (Chez Wong) in La Victoria and the ceviche stalls of Mercado N1 in Surquillo.
