Crepes And Corks: Rosaliné

Chef Ricardo Zarate used to be the Peruvian king of Los Angeles, until he closed all of his restaurants over a year ago. Now he is back with Rosaliné, named after his mother. Call and make a reservation for your next group dinner ASAP. I definitely recommend going with a small group of adventurous diners so you can taste a large portion of the menu. It's a very open restaurant with greenery hanging from a glass ceiling, making you feel like you are outside. Starting with their drinks and ceviche menu - we tasted four different drinks, all of which were tasty and refreshing. We tried two different cevichés, one of which was a vegeterian one, which was new to me and incredibly flavorful. We were adventurous with what we ordered and tried dishes from all over the menu, including beef heart skewers. One of the standout dishes was the paella. I am a huge fan of Spanish paella but this was my first experience with Peruvian paella. The rice is crispier and the flavors are overall different. This dish aslo came with a fried egg and the server broke the yolk and mixed it with the rice which added a nice creamy texture. We were celebrating a birthday and accidentally ordered two desserts. Despite being stuffed, I left so content with my meal and waiting to go back!
