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.

Belle expérience! Nous avons essayé plusieurs petits plats délicieux de poisson, crevettes, calmars, etc.
Les cocktails de Joseph au bar étaient parfaits! Nous avons essayé le Pisco sour & un cocktail avec de la tequila.
La focaccia servie en accompagnement était délicieuse, un coup de coeur!
La clientèle est variée. Les prix sont raisonnables si l'on compare avec les autres restaurants du Vieux-Montréal & des environs.

Chaque plat était excellent, le service était très bien & le personnel très amical. On a pu prendre un dernier verre sans pression alors que tous les autres clients avaient quitté, sans se faire pousser vers la sortie & sans sentir qu'on dérangeait, pendant que le personnel faisait son closing.
Vraiment très sympa.

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 revelation. Don't know where to start here, just sat having a beer, nice weather type of beer.
Madcap wash board buskers set up next door, not my type but well listenable to.
Was going to a hiatian place then decide to look at menue here, saw Peruvian yellow potatoes ther & thought why not.
Well it was a revelation, with prawns & lobster bisque. Expeted the usual, whole potatoes with prawns & a bit of thick bisque.
What turned up - still trying to figure it out - prob nicest well constructed, taste full, balanced - plate of food I have had in a long while.
You have to try it, not costly & the chef has it sorted.
The staff are also amazing.
If it's one thing you do in Montreal, spend some time here.

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.

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 🍾❤?🥂
