Capisco delivers a delightful Italo-Peruvian fusion that makes bold flavors feel approachable, with standout dishes like ceviche, lasagna, brisket lomosaltado and a variety of shared plates that showcase both traditions. The atmosphere mixes cozy, retro charm with a lively Old Montreal vibe, and the cocktails are frequently praised for creativity and balance. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, guiding guests through a diverse menu and ensuring drinks and courses arrive with care. Portions are generous and the overall value is appreciated, though a few busy nights may bring slower service or signature items being sold out. This combination of inventive cooking, pleasing presentation, and welcoming hospitality tends to leave guests eager to return and explore more of the menu.
10/10 experience. We loved the food, drinks & the staff. I would highly recommend the aji gallina & the caprese. We sat at the bar & our experience was made by our great bartender. Couldn't recommend enough if you're looking for a great date night spot
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.

We were a group of three couples out for a fun dinner. & Capisco was the perfect place. We had a reservation for 7:30 & only left towards 11:30, the food the service & the ambiance contributed greatly to an evening that flew by! The noise level was very moderate, & the background music was not overwhelming so that we could all converse with ease at our table. Peruvian cuisine is so distinctive in its flavours & colours & all of the courses that we had in the tasting menu/dégustation at the selection of the chef were fantastic! Definitely coming back! Highly recommend!
Amazing experience, high quality food full of unique flavors & tasty treats, Peruvian & Italian food is a great fusion, would highly recommend the chicharon sandwich, ouf that's good (sorry no pics, ate it too quick) Tiramisu was huge, rich & delicious.
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.
Vraiment super comme resto. Super bouffe créative & service attentif & professionnel. Highly recommend!!! Great place for visitors to Montreal who will appreciate our city's creativity & great food & service! Marc G
Capisco is your best bet on rue St Paul. It has charm, the friendliest staff, & of course, some of the best food in Old Montreal. If just reading off the menu wasn't enough.. & it's not, the dishes are rather unique, they're delicious with some tantalizing flavours, the plating is on point, with creative cocktails. It's a welcome experience, for Old Montreal.. or New!! Inside or patio, indulge in some of the finest. Highly recommend.
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.
I came here to celebrate my official birthday, & I couldn't have picked a better spot!
The ambiance was warm & inviting, the food was absolutely delicious, & the service was top-notch-friendly & made me feel genuinely welcomed. It truly made the celebration special.
Great Atmosphere with even even greater food! The Peru/Italian fusion is a work of magic. From the look of the restaurant to the waiters & dishes everything was excellent. Highly recommend.

The best find on Saint Paul. Chef Marcel Larea has done it again with a beautifully designed space, & great ambiance.More importantly, the food is remarkable with flavours. You can close your eyes & immerse in the taste. When at the restaurant, there is a good chance you will see the chef around. He truly cares & it shows on every little detail & in the quality of service. It is priced for a regular night out, but gives you the feeling that you have just been on an exclusive luxury vacation. Highly recommended!
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.
The dishes were delicious, an explosion of authentic flavors with high-quality ingredients. Each bite transports you to the heart of Peru, elevated by a modern touch. The service was impeccable-attentive, quick, & friendly, with beautifully presented dishes. I highly recommend Capisco to anyone looking for an authentic & refined culinary experience!
