Rosaliné Ricardo Zarate Serves the Best Peruvian Food in L.A.

We hadn’t had a lot of Peruvian food before eating at Rosaliné, but these flavors totally blew us away. Chef Ricardo Zarate makes the best kampachi ceviche we’ve ever tasted and his take on the causa (a layered potato and eggplant casserole) is like a delicious Peruvian seven-layer dip, served with quinoa bread. For a main course, we love his chaufa paella – a really garlicky fried rice dish with pancetta, shrimp, and a runny egg on top. This West Hollywood spot has really nailed it – a beautiful interior with hanging plants, a great ambiance and friendly staff, and incredible food.
