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
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!

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.
Une ambiance des années 80 avec une cuisine qui fusionne des plats péruviens à des accents italiens. Pour deux personnes, nous avons pris 2 entrées, un grand plat & un dessert, ce qui fut suffisant. Je recommande le Capisco!

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
Quelle belle découverte. Amateurs de cuisine péruvienne, vous y trouverez votre compte. En passant par les aranccinis au canard, la salade de pieuvre aux olives, arroz con mariscos, les drinks fait sur mesure par un barman qui connaît son affaire & un service impeccable, nous avons adoré notre soirée.
S'il petit bémol, le lomo saltado avec gnocchis dans une sauce fromagée, ça ne marche pas, de là 4 étoiles sur la cuisine. Ça goûte surtout la sauce au fromage, & le lomo saltado est complètement dénaturé, ce qui est bien dommage car c'est un plat emblématique de Lima. De tout ce que l'on a goûté, c'est le seul bémol, à mon goût & celui des invités qui nous ont accompagné.
Bref je recommande vivement ce restaurant qui vous fait voyager au coeur de la cuisine de lima avec une inspiration italienne.
Après le Tira Dito & le Chifa des mêmes propriétaires, nous avons été aussi charmés par le goût, l'ambiance & la qualité des plats servis.

Nous sommes allés vendredi le 27 juin… Quelle belle surprise. La nourriture excellente… les recommandations pour le vin extraordinaires & le service assuré par Meg, juste parfait. Nous y retournerons assurément!
I seriously can not say enough good things about this restaurant. We were visiting from Toronto as a table of 4. We have eaten in many top restaurants around the globe to include Michelin star restaurants & I have NEVER had a server share the details of the menu with such passion. Hands down Olivia is a hidden gem within this industry. The food OMG ! Sooooo good !! We ate family style & tried a total of 7 dishes. Each dish including the small plates was enough for 4 -5 people to share. I strongly recommend sharing family style so you have the opportunity to try the menu selection. As for the price we thought this was also very reasonable as there was bottle of wine shared & 5 cocktails.
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.
