Visité samedi dernier pour la fête d'un ami. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée durant laquelle nous nous sommes régalés en commandant à peu près tout ce que la carte avait à nous proposer. Pas mal de découvertes pour moi, & autant d'agréables surprises
Décoré, atmosphère agréables. Service super, très attentif & agréable. La cuisine est bien, mais nous n'avons rien trouvé de WoW qui nous incite à y revenir absolument. Tout est bon, sans être extra. Contente de l'avoir essayé.
Great place, the Lomo saltado's taste was very authentic. Wish it would come with french fries. Its a bit pricy as portions are small but it is worth a visit!
Chifa is a fantastic blend of Chinese & Peruvian flavors! Every dish is unique & full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere & friendly service make it even better. A must-visit for anyone looking to try something different!

The problem with some "tapas" style restaurants in Montreal is that they charge you 15$+ plus for a small tapa plate, unfortunately. The concept of tapas is small cheap plates to be accompanied by drinks, so this way we can really share & taste different things. Not full plate price. They took several minutes to bring one of our friends tapa, just because we wouldn't share as they "advise". Food is good tho, not the best Peruvian in town, but still good. The ambiance is also nice!
Great food great service! Yan ( Jahn?) & Bianca were absolutely wonderful. So fun to watch them prep the food. The flavors in this restaurant are too notch!

Nourriture trop cuite trop salée. Cocktails : jolie presentation mais le goût n y est pas. Service : apporte plat principal en 1 er puis les entrées à la fin. Les serveurs ne communiquent pas entre eux ... Les ustensiles sont arrivés en fin de repas sur la table ... Toilettes vraiment inaccessibles (escaliers) & beaucoup trop loin du restaurant.
My date said this was her favourite restaurant - in faith in her tastes I obliged. Peruvian-Chinese fusion is not run-off-the-mill cuisine, & Chifa does a fine job at executing this niche of fusion. My experience with other fusion restaurants is that the dishes tend to lean towards one side with only a touch of the other cuisine that it is supposed to be a fusion with. Chifa's dishes are perfectly balanced between Peruvian & Chinese, creating a wholly new experience. The octopus skewers were delectable. Really enjoyed the beef dish as well. The friend chicken comes in 3rd place but was still very enjoyable. Expert chefs at this place creating some impressive dishes. The atmosphere of this place is nice too, they did a good job at using the space. The bathroom is a bit of an adventure to get to but a minor detail. Prices are reasonable for this level of dining.
