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.
A hidden gem. A perfect Pisco Sour cocktail followed by an under-the-radar plate of Verdura Mixed Veg that included perfectly roasted fingerling potatoes, broccoli, red pepper, capers & marinated artichoke. We soaked tender focaccia in the leftover charred oil. Bliss. Thought this dish would be the highlight but Arroz con Mariscos & Cappeletti de Aji Gallina delighted. Go. Then brag to your friends...
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 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!
Just walking through the old port, stopped in with no expectations but couldn't
have been more surprised by the incredible experience I had being served by…I believe her name was Mia.
Her &, who I think was the manager (guy with a moustache) made for such an unexpectedly amazing experience.
Will be back!
Easily the worst dining experience I've had in Montreal. The restaurant was almost empty & the service was still nonexistent. My vegetables took 40 minutes, & when they finally arrived they were drenched in so much oil that there was a literal puddle at the bottom of the bowl. Completely inedible.
The waitress (short blonde hair) never checked on me once, I had to chase her down for everything. To make it worse, I watched her take a shot at the bar right as I sat down, which honestly explains a lot. When I sent the dish back, she cleared all my plates, including my drink, & then disappeared for 20 minutes. I actually had to start getting ready to leave before she finally noticed me & brought the bill.
Terrible food, even worse service. There's a reason this place is empty. Save yourself the disappointment.
