Food was super tasty & the presentation was beautiful!!
We took the ceviche, causa de camarones, pulpo a l'olivo & frito mixto as appetizers & they were all amazing. We also took the arroz con marisco (wow), the brisquet (great meat), the pasta a la peruvianesca & all three desserts. Everything was consistently good! The service was also great!
I was having a big expectation from this place since the owner is the same of chifa & Tiradito which the two of them are amazing. But this place was ok the tiradito capresse was our favorite with ordered twice . The ceviche was also really good & the lomo saltado to share is nice. The tiramisu was ok nothing extraordinary. The cocktail I got was good. I guess the only comment about it was the service or I mean the lack of it. You can totally tell that the waitress didnt like her job. I mean I work in the same industry & I know sometimes you can have one of those days but she really didn't even try it. To me service is 80% of the tip & when they are expecting 22% of tip with that kind of attitude no way. I guess old port service is really something. Ps the place was not even full when we arrived it was like two or three tables more
La nourriture était bien élaborée - les saveurs sont bien maîtrisées & on sent la qualité dans l'assiette. Le ceviche en particulier était excellent.
Malheureusement, l'expérience de service a un peu terni le tout. La serveuse semblait plutôt blasée & venait très rarement nous voir, même si le restaurant était pratiquement vide. On aurait aussi apprécié un peu plus de flexibilité : nous voulions simplement commander une portion & demie de carbonara pour la partager à deux, mais cela n'a pas été possible.
Petit bémol également pour le gâteau au chocolat, qui est assez décevant - un dessert dont le goût s'efface presque aussitôt de la mémoire.
Un endroit avec beaucoup de potentiel côté cuisine, mais où le service & certains détails pourraient être améliorés pour rendre l'expérience à la hauteur des plats.

Great little spot. Excellent service. We ordered a bunch of items on the menu. Most of them tasted great. Drinks were good too! I would go again. Lasagne was super good. Ceviche was amazing as well.
Our second night in Montreal & went here with a large party (two couples, 3 kids). Warm, inviting atmosphere. Great service throughout, from drinks, to starters to mains & dessert. Almost everything was delicious & we tried a broad range. The ceviche, verdura mix & frito mixto starters were amazing - particularly the verdura. I had the pan con chicharon sandwich which I had to gobble down it was so good. My wife had the scallops & loved them. But the pièce de résistance was the lasagna which is large (they warn you!) & we all pitched in to devour. Highly recommend Capisco, wonderful experience in every regard.
Nous sommes allés manger au Capisco, un restaurant qui ne semble pas péruvien au premier abord, mais qui propose une cuisine d'inspiration péruvienne. L'expérience a été mitigée.
Nous avons dû retourner le premier plat, un carpaccio de poulpe, car il donnait l'impression de ne pas être frais; la saveur & la vinaigrette semblaient provenir d'un plat préparé à l'avance.
Cela dit, la suite du repas a été une très belle surprise. Le ceviche était excellent, bien équilibré & plein de saveurs, & la lasagne servie à la fin était très fraîche & vraiment savoureuse.
Le service a été très bon; la serveuse était attentionnée, agréable & professionnelle tout au long du repas. Quant à l'ambiance, c'est un point à améliorer: le restaurant semble assez vieux & il y avait une odeur de renfermé difficile à décrire, mais peu agréable.
Malgré ces détails, l'expérience globale a été bonne, surtout grâce à la qualité de certains plats & au bon service.
We had dinner at Capisco in old port Montreal. The food was amazing . The ceviches were very fresh & tasty.we highly recommend the Arroz Con Mariscos for main course. Meg took care of us & her service was excellent.
Really nice food. A little confusing because we don't know much about Peruvian food (however there are Italian dishes too). all the Peruvian food was excellent, fresh & delicious. Halibut ceviche, pork in tuna sauce with truffle peach, seafood paella … all amazing & unique to my palette. .
Very nice evening. We split three appies & each had the drink of the day. The ceviche was delicious, ate that before the photo! There was a good amount of seafood on the menu, like you would find in Miraflores in Peru. The verdura mix a la plancha had the option to add grilled octopus, which was a great addition & the vegetables weren't overdone so still had texture. The pan con chicharon was good as well, but not the star of the show for us.
We sat in the terrace & enjoyed some buskers performing. Being outside with many tourists walking by might not be for everyone though, so do consider that when choosing your seating.
