Tiradito is widely celebrated as a vibrant destination in downtown Montreal, offering an exceptional fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors in a lively tapas-style setting. Guests consistently praise the high-quality, inventive dishes such as the fresh ceviche, crispy chicharrón, and flavorful octopus, all of which are beautifully presented. The unique dining layout features counter seating around an open kitchen, providing an engaging experience where diners can watch the chefs work. While the atmosphere is energetic and stylish with great music, some patrons note that the space can become quite loud and that bar-style stools may not be suitable for long durations or large groups. Overall, the combination of professional service, creative cocktail menus, and distinct, flavorful small plates makes this restaurant a popular choice for date nights and gatherings.
A hidden gem in downtown Montreal. Entrance is obscured by purple curtains. Atmosphere was that of a lively bar. Spanish music playing & lots of happy locals. Food was excellent. Portions are on the smaller side, but tasty. Recommend trying their cocktail specialties, such as the traditional Pisco sour. Goes very well with the fried chicken traditional dish. They use habanero peppers generously, so the dishes are quite spicy. Seating are all stools. Walk-ins are welcome but reservations are recommended for the best spots by the windows.
Tiradito is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, & it's easy to understand how it has become one of Montreal's most beloved Peruvian destinations. The restaurant blends the spirit of a lively tapas bar with the finesse of contemporary gastronomy, all guided by Executive Chef Marcel Larrea, who delivers an explosion of flavors with every dish.
The concept is distinctive: no tables, only counters wrapping around the room. It creates a vibrant, social atmosphere where the energy of the kitchen becomes part of the experience.
🍽? The Food
We sampled a selection of classics - ceviche, causa, chicharrón, yuca fries, cocktails & pisco.
Each plate arrives like a piece of art: visually stunning, meticulously composed, & bursting with color. & the best part is that the taste fully lives up to the presentation.
Ceviche: a masterclass in balance. The fish is silky & tender, contrasted by the crunch of the cancha corn, creating a refined interplay of textures.
Causa: delicate & refreshing, with layers that reveal themselves gradually on the palate.
Chicharrón: crisp, generous, & deeply satisfying, elevated by the chef's Peruvian touch.
Yuca fries: a more elegant & wholesome alternative to traditional fries, with a dense yet soft interior.
Cocktails & pisco: expertly crafted, aromatic, & transporting - the kind of drinks that make you feel like you're sitting somewhere tropical by the sea.
At several moments, the flavors were so bright & evocative that I genuinely felt transported far from downtown Montreal.
🌟 Ambiance & Service
The space is trendy, stylish, & perfect for impressing a friend, colleague, or date. The service is warm & efficient.
💸 Value
For such a central location, the ambiance, & the level of culinary execution, the prices are surprisingly reasonable. You leave feeling like you've experienced something special without the bill becoming excessive.
Bottom line: Tiradito remains one of Montreal's standout ambassadors of Peruvian cuisine. A must?visit for anyone looking to travel through flavor without leaving the city. This place has become one of our top restaurant spots in this city. Highly recommended.
Tapas péruviens tous aussi délicieux les uns que les autres, & que dire des piscos sour 😋.

Great place & delicious Peruvian dishes with a flair. Worth it 👍
Unfortunately the Pisco Sour wasn't good enough to order a second one so instead I tried the Chilcano cocktail & it was really good 👍
Nice atmosphere 👍😎
The lightning didn't help to get better pics of the dishes & drinks.
There is only bar seating here & it's tight, not very comfortable. Food was ok, we enjoyed the meat & potato thing & the empanadas. Chicken dumplings were ok. Duck was fatty, we both felt sick after eating it. Service was ok, hard to get another drink though the pisco sours were delicious!
J'adore aller manger dans ce beau & bon restaurant. L'ambiance est au top, la bouffe juste parfaite & le pisco sour sublime. Une ambiance avec avec table style bar tabouret haut. La pieuvre & le poulet frit ouf juste trop bon
Great peruvian place to go & enjoy eating peruvian tapas with a pisco sour or Inka cola! Delicious food & good ambiance! Perfect for a date with friends or lovers.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Try the classic ceviche, yuca fries, duck anticucho, suspiró (for dessert), pisco sour (for drinks). I always go to Tiradito when I come to MTL, such good Peruvian food.
