2 ans après une grosse déception, nous avons souhaité accorder une deuxième chance à ce restaurant que nous adorions auparavant. Cette deuxième chance sera la dernière… malgré un serveur très sympathique, l'expérience a encore une fois été très décevante. Burger trop cuit, trop de sauce, aucune saveur…. Sans compter un nombre de frites complètement ridicule… ma femme a par ailleurs demandé un burger sans cornichon (intolérance), & le serveur nous a dit que le chef refusait d'adapter ses plats. C'est sûr que c'est si difficile de ne juste pas mettre les cornichons en faisant le burger…bref une cuisine qui manque d'amour, de générosité, de savoir-faire (qui était pourtant bien la il y a deux ans!). C'est triste de se dire qu'on aurait aussi bien mangé en fast food…

Ceviche barranco est tellement appétissant! Rien ne nous déçoit🥰
Choros a la chalaca: les moules sont parfaites avec la sauce
Alitas a la Diabla: Ailes de poulets sont épicées super délicieuses 🤤
Arroz con Mariscos: riz frit pas mal
La Ñusta: le verre de cocktail est tellement cute
Sat inside which was a pretty tacky atmosphere. The waiters kept hounding us to take our order while we were looking at the menu (had three different people trying to serve us). Once the order was taken they brought it in two parts & after eating the first part one of the girls came over after a while & asked if we wanted to order more when we had already ordered three other dishes & had been waiting. Seems like the attention to us really went away once we ordered & they didn't seem to know what we had taken. In regards to the food everything wasn't well seasoned & the food was really subpar for Peruvian food. I feel like all the raving reviews really had us excited but we left pretty disappointed. We wanted to order drinks but everything was 17$ & more which is ludicrous. If you order just 4 drinks you are spending 70$+tax & tip which makes absolutely no sense. I'd definitely avoid this spot.
We went here on a Friday afternoon for dinner. Had a reservation for 6pm but arrived early & were able to get a table & enjoy a few drinks before dinner.
The 5@7 special is amazing as well as the grilled octopus.
Wow!!!! I am so glad that this was our last dinner in Montreal because we would have compared every other to it & would have been disappointed. It was absolutely nothing short of AMAZING! The drinks....best we had the entire time here.....the service was completely on point, friendly, efficient, & the place was busy. We started with sharing Solterito & it was so fresh, well-balanced, & light. My daughter got the ceviche rocoto & I got the anticucho de Pollo....both ridiculously flavorful. I wish I could have ordered one of everything on that menu...seriously. We shared the passion fruit cheesecake & it was perfect. I do not have a single bad thing to say. If you have the chance...go! I absolutely promise you will not be disappointed.

Awesome place very nice & the food is amazing . Peruvian food is the best & the service is more than great thank you very much for the experience. Ps. If i could I would've gave you guys 6 stars🤩
This place came highly recommended from our friends, & it did not dissapoint. We arrived around 6 for a very late lunch, with a very tired toddler. We were immediately seated at a very busy but lovely patio, & server was amazing. We got a bunch of stuff to try as well as their local own beer. I also requested for two simple fried eggs for my son, & they were so sweet to accomodate my request at a minimal cost. Highly recommend, for both family affairs as well as date nights!
The service is too slow, make sure you have time & want to eat relaxed because they take their time. But the food worth every second you spend there. Excellent, sophisticated & very tasteful. Peruvian food at his best!
Highly recommended!

Super service d'Héloïse 🌟 J'apprécie toujours me faire conseiller & Héloïse le fait avec beaucoup de sincérité. Elle fait en sorte qu'on passe une belle soirée. J'adore ce resto pour la qualité du repas mais surtout pour l'ambiance & le service toujours numéro un.
