Situated on a bustling stretch of Hyperion Avenue, Ceviche Project offers an immersive culinary experience that transports you to a blend of 1950's Saint-Tropez, Acapulco, and the Copacabana. The menu focuses on fresh fish, prepared in a variety of ways but primarily served raw or as ceviche. The dishes, such as the Sea Bass Ceviche and the Green Shrimp Aguachile, are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a special mention for the scallops on the half shell served with optional uni.
