Ceviche is one of the many dishes you'll find at /*Costanera*/, a Peruvian restaurant that is seafood centric.
You will find some traditional Peruvian dishes, but you can also expect some twists including, a Peruvian version of Ban-Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich. Costanera is located at 511 Bloomfield Avenue, /*Montclair*/, /*New Jersey*/. Chef Juan Andres and his partners chose Montclair for its sophistication, the township's motto being where the city meets the suburbs, or in the case of Costanera where New Jersey meets Peru.
