Cabra

Cabra sits on a Fulton Market rooftop and plays the room as hard as the plate. The chef built a reputation at Girl & the Goat before landing here, and that same instinct for bold, shareable small plates carries over into Peruvian cooking that leans into ceviches, anticuchos, and pisco-heavy drinks built for a view. The setting alone would carry a lesser kitchen. This one doesn't need the assist.

The crowd skews toward visitors staying nearby and diners chasing a scene, and that's a fair knock — it's the kind of place people go to be seen as much as fed. But the food holds up under that scrutiny. The plates are confident, well-seasoned, and built to be fun without cutting corners to get there.

Three separate Bib Gourmand nods across recent years back up what the plates already argue: this isn't just a patio with good lighting. Cabra earns its crowd. Go for the rooftop, stay for the ceviche, and don't let the tourists put you off.
