Joseph was our bartender & he was phenomenal, very dedicated to his craft. Capisco is lucky to have him, & any future patrons.

If your idea of good dining is discovering new flavours & unusual combinations that taste fantastic, go to Capisco. Chef Marcel Larrea had previously given us modern Peruvian Japanese & Chinese treats at his ultra-popular restaurants Tiradito & Chifa (where I always take friends). At Capisco, he delivers his wonderful take on Italian. Don't expect the ordinary. You'll have tons of fun.

We stopped just to have a drink, rest a bit, & watch the people go by in the pedestrian zone. Our well tattooed waiter treated us just as well as if we had ordered their finest fare.

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.

Expérience intéressante chez Capisco, un restaurant au concept original mêlant traditions italiennes & saveurs péruviennes. L'endroit est charmant, avec un décor rétro élégant, un bar central accueillant & une ambiance feutrée.

Côté assiette, le ceviche était vraiment excellent : poisson frais, leche de tigre bien relevée, maïs croustillant & belles touches de patate douce - un bel équilibre de textures & de saveurs. Les pâtes au ají de gallina étaient bien réalisées & savoureuses, mais la sauce manquait de l'intensité & du caractère typiques de la recette traditionnelle péruvienne. En tant que Péruvienne, je dirais que cette version revisitée adopte une approche plus douce, qui s'éloigne un peu de l'essence authentique du plat.

Les cocktails étaient corrects, notamment le martini bien réalisé, mais rien d'exceptionnel non plus.

Le service était professionnel, mais pas particulièrement attentionné.

En résumé : une belle adresse pour découvrir une fusion originale, avec une cuisine bien travaillée!
