From Lima to Brooklyn: The Story of Surfish Bistro

Our Beginning

Surfish Bistro opened at 550 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY to share the Peruvian flavors we grew up loving. Our meals were simple, fresh, and made to bring people together. We wanted a place where guests feel welcome, enjoy real Peruvian cuisine, and experience the warmth of home-style cooking with a modern, gourmet touch crafted with care.
