“I rushed over to Duarte’s new restaurant, Tambo 22, during its first week…and obviously had to get the paiche, which is wrapped in a banana leaf and served with the Peruvian herb sacha culantro as well as plantain mash and hot relish. It was a standout dish; the simple preparation really let the fish itself shine. Paiche is firm and hearty, the kind of protein a meat lover who’s trying to turn pescatarian might love. Paired with a guava gose from Ontario-based brewery Collective Arts, this really hit the spot. Honorary mention to the lomo saltado, especially the fries that came with it — they had a battered, almost bubbly exterior, and I couldn’t get enough of them.”
