WCBS DINING DIARY 6269, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4TH, 2010
I’m Bob Lape with Dining Diary.
Be on the lookout for Viru, an exciting new restaurant off Central Park Avenue in Yonkers. It proclaims
Fine Peruvian Cuisine, and means it! It’s near the Outback Steakhouse in a small strip mall. Viru is a
roomy restaurant handsomely decorated in vibrant colors with ethnic wall hangings and Peruvian music.
The lively ceviches and other seafood, chicken and meat items are presented with real artfulness, and
good taste. Causa limena de pollo translates as cold mashed yellow potato – Peru has thousands of
different spuds – is infused with key lime juice, pressed into a cake with avocado and stuffed with
chicken. A great start!
Lamb shank is simmered in black beer, garlic, cilantro and onion. The Viru menu was fully and cordially
explained by our wait staffer Diana Bonsignore, a veteran of a number of great kitchens. Viru is a real
find and a gem among South American eateries anywhere. Open for Lunch and Dinner at 1727 Central
Park Avenue, Yonkers.
That’s Dining Diary. I’m Bob Lape, WCBS 880.
