New York | Mission Ceviche: A New Peruvian Adventure 🌟

Today, thanks to a friend, I got to try out a Peruvian restaurant on the Upper East Side (UES). 🌿🌟A friend of a friend happens to be friends with the owner, so we got to enjoy a completely free meal—just had to leave a tip! 😄 It was such a blast! The owner basically ordered almost everything on the menu, and let me tell you, it was an absolute feast! We left feeling like we had to lean on the walls for support. 🥪 Every single dish was delicious—no misses at all! I highly recommend everyone to go and try it. There really isn't a single dish that falls short. 🌿🌟 Personally, I fell in love with the octopus. I had it both as an appetizer and in the seafood rice, and it was amazing! Some of the dishes even had a Japanese twist, which was incredibly tasty. The fried bananas were super thick and had a fantastic texture. 🌿🌟And the dessert—oh my gosh! The sponge cake soaked in condensed milk, topped with a layer of whipped cream (not cloying at all) and caramel—almost made me faint from how good it was! 🥧 This place is on the Michelin list this year, and I really hope they get at least one star. The atmosphere is super warm and South American, with lively music that makes it feel like a club. It’s so much fun! There were at least three birthday parties that night, and they even gave out sparklers—such a fun and festive vibe! 🎉 🌿🌟 I hope everyone gets a chance to try it out—you won't be disappointed! #NYCExperience 🌊
