Bright star in New Andean gastronomy brings judicious clientele to teensy, out-of-the-way neighborhood spot. With a long wooden counter out in the open where chef cuts fresh fish from the Sao Paulo state port of Santos, first appearances suggest it’s all sushi; however, count on ceviche and other raw fish eats typical of Peruvian cuisine. Cooked options entail filet mignon and Inca-style dehydrated potato. Emphasis is on regionally grown fruit and spices from Peru, some dating back to Inca days. Walls are blocked in color; wooden chairs and tables keep the vibe discreet and simple. Pisco sours can be drunk at the sidewalk tables without fear of too much pedestrian curiosity.
