Try just one of these every week and you’ll have visited them all by the end of 2023. View the full list here OR download an abbreviated printable PDF file.

As the cold winds blow, there’s nothing like a trip to C-Viche, which will transport you to more tropical climes with its menu of Ibero-American fare. Even better, there’s now more C-Viche to love since the restaurant has expanded to include a second location in Shorewood.
Start off with a pisco sour and the ceviche of the day. Then move on to Peruvian anticuchos, which offer up bites of perfectly juicy, beefy flavor and patatas bravas with delicious housemade chorizo. From there, let your palate lead you. Be sure to ask about the specials; we had a lovely plate of tender fried soft shell crab skewers on a recent visit (pictured). If there’s room for dessert, don’t miss the tres leches cake, which contains a hint of Peruvian pisco.
Recommended: Daily ceviche specials, patatas bravas, shrimp mole enchiladas, tres leches cake; they also have a weekend-worthy brunch
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
