Belle expérience au capisco , nous connaissions le chifa & tiradito que nous apprécions d ailleurs mais celui ci , est une fusion perou & italie , on a pris 2 entrées ,une causa vraiment bonne & une frito mixta dont les quantités etaient adéquates, pour le repas principal on a choisi lomo saltado ce classique peruvien mais très transformé à la sauce fromage huancaina,le boeuf est composé de briskets braisés gnocchis , fettucini, excellente version , l arroz con mariscos délicieux, les cocktails péruviens sont bons & il y a un bon choix de bières ipa aussi le seul bémol les vins sont dispendieux le moins cher à 68$.
Hands down, one of the best all-around meals & now one of my favorites restaurants. Ordered the amor y fresca drink, homemade focaccia, fritto mixto - all of which were equally amazing. But the star of the show was the brisket lomo saltado - it was absolutely, out of this world. I would absolutely come back & recommend to anyone visiting!

Best meal in Montreal! Loved the tiradito caprese, the vegetables, the brisket & octopus carpaccio! Looking forward to returning soon to try the rest of the menu. Service was wonderful as well!
This is a great addition to the Tiradito & Chifa family of resto. Italian food with a twist. Great cocktails Santa Muerte with abysenthe & topaza pyra whisky coffe combo great choices
Waiter suggested Tiradito caprese a must & frito mixto another excellent choice. I was very impressed by the lasagna, well executed, perfect bechamel sauce with brisket ragu, may not the standard for American but this is the real deal for an Italian. Bravo!!! Great meal !!
Oh I forgot the tiramisu, very impressed by the execution!!
What a fabulous meal & an outstanding level of service. The Italo-Peruvian fusion is a winner. The Tuna was perfect, the beef brisket so tender. The menu is simple but diverse. Thanks to all the staff for making our wedding meal so memorable 🍾❤?🥂
Thank you Joseph & Capisco for an amazing'blind menu' dinner. Every course was a beautifully prepared & delicious with a mouthwatering gnocchi & beef brisket main course. Perfect Rue Saint Paul location for people watching & excellent street music during our meal. Highly recommend for anyone travelling to Old Town Montreal.
Amazing Food! We had the brisket & it was melting in our mouths. Ambiance is great, the decor is very aesthetically pleasing. Overall great experience. Would recommend!

Delicious food but the Italian side is more well done than the Peruvian side of the fusion. Carbonara was fantastic. Ceviche was tasty but tiny. I'd skip the Brisket Lomo Saltado.
Nice Peruvian-Italian fusion restaurant in old port. Atmosphere inside was nice, & the restaurant was nicely decorated. Staff was kind & spends awhile going through their seemingly complex menu. I'd say the appetizers here are what make the restaurant special, they were honestly very good. Their brisket main dish was also good, but a bit salty. Overall a nice new spot.
The arroz con pato arrancini were absolutely amazing. The arroz con pato could be an entire main dish, it was that good. The juancaina that acompanied it was also excellent. We tried the carbonara al aji amarillo & the brisket lomo saltado with juancaina gnocci, both were great (the brisket was perhaps a bit over salted to our taste, but still amazing). The service was excellent! Highly recommended.
If you go to one restaurant in old Montreal let it be Capisco. The wine list is impeccable, the cocktails were to die for. Had the Salade Capisco, carbonara, the brisket, & tiramisu. It's been 3 days & I am still dreaming of the food. Truly truly incredible. Also our waiter came over with free NY sour shots with a red wine foam …. I MEANNNNN. Truly so so so soooo goood.

I celebrated my birthday at Capisco with five foodie friends, based on a recommendation from an industry connection. We ordered: • Parmesan scallops • Crab causa • Brisket lomosaltado • Duck arancini • Ceviche • Tiradito caprese • Porco tonnato • Capelettis • Octopus & veg Every single dish was outstanding. The execution, creativity, & thoughtfulness behind each plate were really remarkable. Our standout favorites were the brisket, which was as tender as butter, the duck arancini, & the ceviche caprese. Cocktails & wines were great & Sacha's service also added to the experience. He was super friendly, attentive, & caring without being overbearing. Will be back!
