Meet the New Ceviche, Same as the Old Ceviche
After suffering through the usual bureaucratic delays, restaurateur Mauricio Fraga-Rosenfeld is finally ready to start serving a full menu today at his new Ceviche in Glover Park. The original Ceviche, opened in 2005 in Silver Spring, is the first of Fraga-Rosenfeld’s restaurant/lounges to spawn a second location.
The menu and interior of the Glover Park location will mirror, more or less, the menu and interior of the original. Javier Angeles-Beron will oversee the kitchens at both restaurants, turning out a Peruvian-heavy cuisine that he calls Novo-Andino. Angeles-Beron has hired Jose “Pepe” Luis, former chef at the Peruvian embassy, to serve as chef de cuisine at the Glover Park location.
The main difference between the two operations—well, aside from the obvious problem of trying to find a parking spot in Glover Park—is the brunch menu at the new location. Angeles-Beron plans to introduce a desayuno Latino in Glover Park, and its menu looks push Americans beyond the standard brunch dishes. Among the items: French toast made with pisco-soaked Challah and lomito saltado over toast.

Ate there Saturday night and for the first time in years had multiple menu items that I’d never eaten before, all excellent. The manager talked about some of the flavors coming from his native Panama, which is different than the description of the Peruvian chef. Either way, I would recommend this place with no reservations, other than it gets a little pricey after appetizer #4.
