About this spot
In San Telmo's vibrant Hipólito Yrigoyen street, Chan Chan delivers authentic Peruvian flavors with a focus on fresh ceviches and grilled fish that sizzle off the hot stone plates. The kitchen balances bold citrus notes with traditional ají peppers, creating a flavor profile that stands out against the typical Argentine steakhouse scene.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order your ceviche immediately upon sitting down to ensure the fish arrives at peak freshness before the lime juice breaks down the texture.
- Ask for extra salt and chili flakes on the side, as Peruvian dishes rely on this balance of salty and spicy heat rather than heavy sauces.
- Save room for a pisco sour; it is the traditional pre-dinner aperitif that pairs perfectly with the citrus-heavy seafood menu.
