Few places in Lisbon prepare and serve ceviche in a more masterful fashion than at A Cervicheria. This traditional South American dish, made from fresh raw fish cured in tangy citrus juices, usually lemon or lime, originates in Peru and has found favour with Lisbon locals and visiting tourists alike. This is in no small way due to the expertise of chef-owner Kiko Martins, whose authentic interpretation of this legendary staple has won plaudits from some of the city's most seasoned food critics. Kiko has designed four different ceviche experiences, his handpicked kitchen team preparing each to a unique recipe. The menu also lists healthful quinoa-based dishes, refreshing gaspacho soup, and croquette and "surf 'n' turf" sandwiches, a typical Portuguese snack. The drinks offer includes ice-cold beer and piso sour cocktail, a sensational appetiser invented in Peru and Chile.
