After a long day of exploring Montreal, Capisco turned out to be exactly what I needed to wind down & end the night on a perfect note. The atmosphere was relaxed & inviting, just the kind of place where you can sit back, breathe a little, & enjoy the moment.
Our bartender, Alex was so kind & welcoming, which made the whole experience feel even more comfortable. You could tell the staff really cared about creating a good experience, not just serving food.
Food was excellent. Simple, satisfying, & exactly what I was hoping for to wrap up the night.
Overall, Capisco felt like one of those places you're glad you found. If you're looking for a pleasant, low-key spot to chill after a full day in Montreal or to end your evening on a good note, this is definitely worth stopping by.
I was having a big expectation from this place since the owner is the same of chifa & Tiradito which the two of them are amazing. But this place was ok the tiradito capresse was our favorite with ordered twice . The ceviche was also really good & the lomo saltado to share is nice. The tiramisu was ok nothing extraordinary. The cocktail I got was good. I guess the only comment about it was the service or I mean the lack of it. You can totally tell that the waitress didnt like her job. I mean I work in the same industry & I know sometimes you can have one of those days but she really didn't even try it. To me service is 80% of the tip & when they are expecting 22% of tip with that kind of attitude no way. I guess old port service is really something. Ps the place was not even full when we arrived it was like two or three tables more

Capisco is a hole in the wall in old town Montreal, my girlfriend & I went in on a Wednesday & wasn't sure what to expect. Reading the reviews some people in the past were worried about the limited menu but we decided to give it a try. We are extremely happy we did, the food was exceptional & our server was genuine & very personable. It was very empty & my girlfriend & I were very surprised considering how good the food & atmosphere was. The scallops were to die for & their wine menu was extensive for a small restaurant. Overall, it was a fantastic date night & we don't regret it one bit.
The food was unique & absolutely delicious, with a distinct point of view that really stood out. The atmosphere & decor were beautifully executed-thoughtful, original, & very tasteful. The only small note would be the lighting, which could be slightly warmer to enhance the overall ambiance.
Un de meilleur restaurant a Montréal, La nourriture excellent, une variété de produits fresh, des assiettes uniques a Montréal! L'ambiance chaleureuse sois dans la barre au a table, le service amical & les prix plus que raisonnables, très bon choix!

La nourriture était bien élaborée - les saveurs sont bien maîtrisées & on sent la qualité dans l'assiette. Le ceviche en particulier était excellent.
Malheureusement, l'expérience de service a un peu terni le tout. La serveuse semblait plutôt blasée & venait très rarement nous voir, même si le restaurant était pratiquement vide. On aurait aussi apprécié un peu plus de flexibilité : nous voulions simplement commander une portion & demie de carbonara pour la partager à deux, mais cela n'a pas été possible.
Petit bémol également pour le gâteau au chocolat, qui est assez décevant - un dessert dont le goût s'efface presque aussitôt de la mémoire.
Un endroit avec beaucoup de potentiel côté cuisine, mais où le service & certains détails pourraient être améliorés pour rendre l'expérience à la hauteur des plats.
Have nothing but glowing things to say about this place after stumbling upon it during a short work trip. Drinks were excellent, as was the food. Ambience was really great as well. Almost went here a second night in a row. Didn't, & regretted it. Will be coming back next time I'm in Montreal.
Belle expérience au capisco , nous connaissions le chifa & tiradito que nous apprécions d ailleurs mais celui ci , est une fusion perou & italie , on a pris 2 entrées ,une causa vraiment bonne & une frito mixta dont les quantités etaient adéquates, pour le repas principal on a choisi lomo saltado ce classique peruvien mais très transformé à la sauce fromage huancaina,le boeuf est composé de briskets braisés gnocchis , fettucini, excellente version , l arroz con mariscos délicieux, les cocktails péruviens sont bons & il y a un bon choix de bières ipa aussi le seul bémol les vins sont dispendieux le moins cher à 68$.
If you haven't tried peruvian cuisine & specially fusion with Italian . Its a must try spot ! Personally I loved everything about this place
The ambience,the food & the service is always great
The staff is very kind & polite
The cocktails are top notch .
I warmly suggest it to anyone

Capisco's food is a'must-try'! While the food & service were stellar, sadly, the atmosphere, an integral part of the dining experience that many restaurants overlook, was lacking. Capisco's setup is more reminiscent of a coffee shop than of a high-end restaurant; don't expect any privacy.
Nous avons été plus tôt ce soir au restaurant & nous sommes malheureusement déçus de l'expérience. J'ai réservé 1 mois à l'avance, lorsque arrivé sur place on nous attribue une table qui semble presque improvisée sur un coin devant la porte d'entrée. Je demande à la serveuse avant de débuter s'il es possible de changer de table car toutes les tables sont libres. On me répond bêtement qu'il n'est pas possible.Les entrées étaient bonnes mais les plats principaux étaient tres huileux & lourd. L'endroit est chaleureux mais le prix & le service n'étaient pas à la hauteur.
Came here for MTL à la Table & tried their table d'hôte, which was offered at a very reasonable price. The food was excellent, with the sandwich being the standout-absolutely delicious & packed with flavour. The restaurant itself is such a charming little spot, cozy & inviting, & I was genuinely surprised by how generous the portions were for the price. It felt like great value all around. I would honestly come back just for that sandwich alone & can't wait to return!
Soirée extraordinaire chez Capisco, quelle belle découverte. Nous avons essayé & partagé plusieurs plats en entrée & plats principaux & tout était plus que parfait. Portions généreuses, magnifique présentation , sauces délicieuses, cuisson parfaitement à point. Vivement les foccacia pour profiter des bonnes sauces jusqu'à la dernière goutte. Le débit du service parfait, permettant le temps de bien déguster & discuter en groupe. Service attentioné & très agréable avec Joseph & sa collègue. Merci beaucoup, très hâte d'y retourner.

I wish I could give this restaurant a higher rating. Unfortunately, our first visit on New Year's Eve was disappointing. We waited quite a long time before anyone came to take our order, & the service felt a bit disorganized with different servers coming to our table.
We were told that two of the main highlights of the special menu were already unavailable: the pulpo as an appetizer & the arroz con mariscos as a main. Our reservation was at 8:30 p.m., so it was frustrating that these signature dishes were already sold out, especially knowing the restaurant was fully booked & offering a limited New Year's menu.
The waitress was kind & apologetic, & management tried to offer a tiradito instead of the main dish, but as this is normally an appetizer & much less expensive, it did not feel like an equivalent replacement. They also offered us a shot at the end, which was appreciated, though it was something many guests received due to the occasion.
That said, the restaurant itself is beautiful, the staff is friendly, & the food we did have was delicious. We especially enjoyed the pork carpaccio & the braised lomo saltado. While the prices are quite high for the portions, this is understandable given the location in Old Port.
Overall, it's a lovely place with great potential, but better planning & organization on busy nights like New Year's Eve would make a big difference in the experience.
Absolutely loved my experience at Capisco in Old Port! The food was outstanding - rich, authentic Peruvian flavours that truly stand out. Every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with taste. The service was friendly, attentive, & made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere is cozy & vibrant, perfect for a night out or a special meal. If you're looking for high-quality Peruvian cuisine in Old Montreal, this place is a must-try. I'll definitely be back!
Shrimp causa was delicious. Octopus was gorgeous but could have had more flavour. My italian friend loved the focaccia but I just found it alright. Fried seafood was great. My two cocktails were pretty good. Excellent service. Nice design.
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
Great little spot. Excellent service. We ordered a bunch of items on the menu. Most of them tasted great. Drinks were good too! I would go again. Lasagne was super good. Ceviche was amazing as well.
