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.
The best Peruvian food I've tried in Canada in 7 years here. I tried the ceviche, lomo saltado & causa & it was all delicious & very fresh. Thank you for making justice to our cuisine & keeping it true to our tradition.
Awesome experience. Servers were super nice. They do that dancy/loud music thing that a lot restaurants do to make it "fun". The portions are huge! We were like "Did we accidentally sign up for an eating contest?"
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.
Food was fantastic, as well as cocktails, but there are two things that could be worked on: Mtlatable menu was nowhere to be found, despite the event still running & being advertised, & also the service was having not the best day - it took a while to get to order drinks, even more to order food. Maybe they were understaffed last night, hopefully next time it won't take almost an hour to get a drink
I am not sure if our experience was unique. The menu is only online so we needed to use the QR code on the table to look at the menu. It took us a few minutes to figure out what we wanted. After only being there for 10 minutes the hostess came up to warn us our reservation was only for 2 hours so we needed to move along. The food came very promptly & appeared fresh but not particularly inspired. The Solterito was the best in that its ingredients were the most unique & interesting but still lacked a strong flavor to define it as uniquely from Peru. It was rather bland. I did not taste any coriander which was the one spice listed in the menu. The music was loud with lots of Salsa & Regatone. My impression was there was more emphasis made to making this a hip destination rather than a worthwhile dining experience. We were gone after a little more than an hou

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée. 1ere visite au Barranco. points positifs: cuisine très bonne, menu spécial MTL à table, bonnes portions (nous étions tous remplis à table), personnel très aimable surtout notre serveuse très souriante & donne beaucoup d'explications sur les plats. points négatifs : un peu de difficulté au début de la soirée pour avoir une table loin de la porte d'entrée (il fait froid quand la porte s'ouvre & j'ai dû insister beaucoup) , ambiance bruyante par contre , stationnement infernal au Plateau Mont Royal.
Quel délicieux repas. Un menu avec beaucoup de choix & un gros merci à Alexandrine, la serveuse attitrée à notre table qui a su bien nous guider dans nos choix. On va y retourner c'est certain!! & surtout oublié pas de prendre un Pisco sour!!
décevant, j'y suis allée il y a 4 ans & c'était tellement meilleur. Tout a changé & la qualité des aliments a beaucoup baissé, vraiment dommage car c'était tellement un bon restau!
