Kids love choices as much as the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack. That’s why The Citadel is such an easy and reliable spot to take little opinionated Omar out to eat. They’ll likely gravitate towards United States Burger Service, because you can grab your burger from inside little mailboxes. They also have excellent bowls of carbonara at Borti and ice cream that can be used as a form of bribery to eat the edamame you got from Poke-San.

Every single ceviche on the menu of this 12-seat counter is citrus gold. Especially the mixto, a gloriously perfect blend of peppers, lime juice, and a variety of rotating sea creatures. Ask for the medium spice level, which we’ve found to be the ideal balance of heat and citrus. When stone crab is in season or there’s Hokkaido uni available, the chef will go off-script and assemble a ceviche so remarkable, you’ll start to wonder about the 80% of the ocean that remains uncharted.

To get your hands on Marcelo’s thick strips of corvina swimming in ají amarillo and lime juice, you have to place an order at least a day in advance and coordinate a meetup via WhatsApp. This place isn’t a restaurant, but a travelling food truck. The combination of texting on an encrypted messaging app and agreeing on a meeting point is exhilarating—like you’re a spy and the ceviche is a sensitive state secret. But thankfully, ceviche isn’t illegal and Marcelo is a joy to communicate with.

This North Beach spot makes seemingly bottomless bowls of great Peruvian classics at highly reasonable prices. Even on a rainy Saturday afternoon, the entrance crowds with families eager to eat big bowls of arroz chaufa, ceviche, and pitchers of chicha morada. Our favorite dishes are the sampler plates. And the concept of “sampler” functions a little differently here. Instead of smaller portions, they just serve you full portions of different ceviches and causas.

Miami is a shimmering ocean of tiramisu options, but this is our easy favorite. It’s got all the quintessential flavors of a tiramisu, but it also has something those others don’t: texture. That’s thanks to the layers of Pavesini biscuits instead of soaked ladyfingers. You can ask for a glass of the same amaro they use to soak those biscuits. We did that once, and it’s our happiest dessert memory. Reservations go live on Resy at noon 30 days in advance.
