Went with colleagues for a little 5 à 7 & we stayed till almost midnight. The service was excellent, Nina was great. The food was okay… I had high expectations I guess. I was disappointed that their tasting menu only had 1 ceviche out of at least 6 dishes. Definitely would order differently, I personally would not recommend the tasting menu, the portions are generous but the options underwhelming. The only other dish I enjoyed was the octopus over potatoes & avocado, the ceviche mahi was great. They served fried sea food that had potential to be good but came at the end of the meal when we were full. The beef was ok. 2 dishes with potato wedges is also too much in my opinion when you have so much to showcase on your menu. Please reimagine the tasting menu. The dessert was great too. The ambiance & vibes were great!
I absolutely loved this place.
We were two & shared a few dishes: the Taquitos Chicharrón (sooo good - they come with three but you can add an extra), the Yuquitas (delicious but a bit heavy, so perfect to share), & the Ceviche Clásico, which was my personal favorite (gotta love lime). For dessert, we had the Crème Brûlée de Lúcuma.
For drinks I tried the Chicha Sour, made with their homemade pisco. Loved it so much I ordered a second one.
Beyond the amazing food & ambiance, the service truly stood out. You can tell they're proud of what they serve & really care about the overall experience.
Definitely a place you need to try!

Très belle découverte la cuisine péruvienne. Nous avons partagé nos 3 plats :
- Arroz con mariscos (pour ceux qui aiment les fruits de mer);
- Lomo Saltado (filet de boeuf avec une sauce incroyable)
- Seco à la Nortena (boeuf braisé qui fond dans la bouche). Le tout avec de très bons cocktails & des desserts délicieux.
J'ai passée une belle soirée avec une amie. Très bonne bouffe.
Ils ont appris que c'était ma fête & m'ont offert mon dessert gratuit. Vraiment apprécié.
Went for the Mtl a Table event. Menu consisted of an appetizer, main & dessert, for $50. I had the grilled octopus, the mahi mahi ceviche & the chocolate mousse. Everything was good. There were 4 of us so we got to try everything on that menu. The brussels sprouts were surprisingly good. The fried rice was a bit too salty. But all in all a pleasant meal. Service was great. Our waitress was so friendly.
Easy to give a high rating because the service & atmosphere were wonderful! The food was good, but every dish was just a bit too salty with not much else going on flavour-wise. Nothing I was blown-away by. Desserts were excellent.
Great spot in Montreal for food! We got tacos, octopus, & civeche.
We found there were too many potatoes with the octopus & too much lime in the Ceviche. Tacos were great, drinks were great. Dessert was also amazing.
Une escapade au Pérou le temps d'une soirée.
Des cocktails frais, une belle ambiance musicale & de la bonne viande. Un gros bonus pour le dessert au chocolat & le service impeccable de notre serveuse Alexandrine. J'enlève juste une petite étoile pour le fait que le menu manque un peu de légumes & fraîcheur. Une belle expérience 😊
We had a great experience here. Some truly outstanding dishes - the ceviche was so fresh & flavorful! Also really enjoyed seafood rice & dessert. The fried chicken was forgettable & the sausage was a little too salty. Cocktails were fun & ambiance is great at night albeit a bit dim.
Incredible & unique cocktails, wonderful food & a bustling vibe. Food service was just a touch slow so we didn't have time for dessert unfortunately but otherwise a great night!

Superbe service de la part de Jordy! La nourriture était délicieuse, nous avons manger un ceviche barranco, salade solterito, y jalea. Comme dessert les alfajores, très bon! Bonne ambiance, musique moderne, beau décor.
Ceviche tres bon, asssiette principale assez décevant A chaque fois que ouvre la Porte du restaurant on crève de froid, on a demandé de changé de table il ont dit que c'était pas possible même qu'il avait des table vide 6 vin rouge sur menu & seulement 2 de disponible Dessert a révisé
I first visited this restaurant last week & did not have a positive experience. The manager Felix invited me & a guest for a second try & we had a wonderful experience. I had the lomo saltado & my friend had the salchipapa asada. Both dishes were bursting with flavour & prove why Peruvian cuisine is one of the best. The floor manager took the time to explain to us the cooking & ingredients, it's clear that the staff are well trained on the menu. She was kind enough to offer us a dessert & we chose las ruinas. Again a unique dessert with balanced sweetness & crunchiness. Happy to try this restaurant again & will gladly visit to try the other dishes. Quality establishment, well managed & a special menu.
It was our first time at Barranco & we were so impressed. The service was amazing; the waiter was pleasant, attentive & we felt taken care of throughout the entire night. The food was amazing! Everything from the appetizers to the desserts was flavorful, delicious & well prepared. The portions are quite generous as well. Will definitely be back & highly recommend.

Très bonne ambiance & décor vibrant. J'ai commencé avec un verre de Maracuya Sour, je donne un 5/10. La nourriture était très bonne. J'ai pris Jalea mixta en entrée & Seco de Cordero en plat principal. Pour dessert Luna Llena avec une gelée à la mangue délicieuse. Les serveurs/serveuses étaient très aimable.
Super agréable repas, service & atmosphère. Nous avons profité de la terrasse. Nous avons découvert la cuisine péruvienne & ce n'est que partie remise! Causa de camarón pour moi & Causa de pulpo al olivo pour mon amie: ce plat à lui seul vaut le détour! Nous avons ensuite partagé le plat Salchipapa Asada: délicieux! Pour dessert, Luna Llena, une pavlova avec une crème pâtissière au maracuya & gelée de mangue. Super! Drinks sans alcool Mango Colada & El Mentiroso sublimes & bien frais! Serveuses gentilles & qui expliquent bien le menu & l'esprit du restaurant! Honnêtement, une belle surprise!
The food was amazing , the limo saltado was simply delicious, the drinks & the desserts The attention was seamless & good atmosphere . The music was a bit loud but we had a great time
1) we asked for a banquette on the reservation made a month ago but didn't get it because their was s group. So we asked to switch tables to not be next to the door ( we arrived 30 min earlier so nobody was there yet) they refused 2) I asked for my steak well cooked & apparently the chef only does it one way & its medium or med rare 3) my friend ordered main dish but since I couldn't get my steak I said ill let her know while eating my appetizer. I asked for the chicken on potatoes & asked if we can switch the potatoes for rice , she said no. Anyways I took that & she brought my main dish 10 min after bringing appetizers because & I told her its my main dish not an appetizer so I ended up eating that cold. 4) they forgot to bring my friends main dish the steak. So we asked & they apparently forgot or misunderstood. Once she got her steak it wasn't even pink inside it was well cooked ... so not medium ( she did say chef refuses to fully cook the meat) Flavour wise I had better Peruvian food , the drinks & desserts were good.
Bonne nourriture, service déplorable. Réservation faite à l'avance, on a avertis bien de ne pas être en retard & qu'on aura la table de 19h à 21h. On prends nos précautions on arrive trois minutes en avance, on nous installe pres des toilettes (hélas) & on nous répète que nous avons la table jusqu'à 21h. Sur le principe ok, sauf que la prise de commande a duré 25 min. & on a eu nos boissons & notre premier plat a 19h48... & on avait commander 4 plats qu'on voulait manger les uns à la suite des autres. Ils ont du se rendre compte qu'ils avaient traîné & bim tout le reste d'un coup vers 20h20. Ok on peut comprendre que le défilé de serveuse s'emmêle les pinceaux. Mais à la fin des plats principaux, nous dire que pour le dessert ce n'est pas possible car il est 21h... on l'a eu mauvaise. C'est pas notre faute, vous devez assumer vos responsabilités, à défaut de toujours vouloir faire de l'argent la qualité du service en prends un coup sévère. Surtout qu'on était venu dépenser de l'argent.
