Bouffe excellente & portions généreuses, mais service vraiment ordinaire.
J'ai commandé des fajitas & j'ai reçu la viande sans tortillas… j'ai attendu 5-10 minutes avant de les avoir. On a aussi dû redemander eau, breuvages & sauces à plusieurs reprises.
Je comprends que c'était une soirée salsa, mais si le resto n'arrive pas à suivre avec autant de tables, il faudrait en réduire pour offrir un meilleur service.
Côté nourriture, rien à dire : guacamole frais, fajitas & poulet grillé savoureux, portions généreuses & belle carte des vins!
Un des meilleurs resto sur Wellington & assurément le meilleur restaurant péruvien que je connaisse. Bon rapport qualité/prix (ce sont de bonnes portions!!)
Ambiance décontractée, excellent service & superbes terrasses!
Very pleasantly surprised to see the large portions back - we over-ordered because we remembered the last visit the portions were suddenly very small. Thank you for bringing back Wellington Villa from before the pandemic.

The portion size for most dishes at our table was great. I ordered ceviche unfortunately though & was told it would be 220 grams, I love ceviche & have eaten it a lot & they served me 100 grams max for $28 which I thought was unreasonable.
The servers & personnel are very friendly & helpful & since the restaurant has a patio, we enjoyed the music & people dancing across the street.
The food is prepared in a traditional way, with few condiments & a good portion size. I had the ceviche & the grilled octopus, they were good but not great. I will give it a 3.5 rating in the seafood but it is not an option. I'll come back & try beef or chicken dishes.
I've had my fair share of letdowns when it comes to Peruvian food in Montreal, especially those places on Saint-Hubert Av. But Villa Wellington in Verdun is one exception you won't want to miss.
Let's cut to the chase: Lomo Saltado here is pretty darn decent. The beef is flavorful & comes with a generous portion of crispy fries & rice-just like back home.
The Seco con Frejoles & Choritos a la Chalaca are also solid choices, each with a comforting, home-style vibe that's hard to find in this city.
Prices? Totally fair, especially considering the generous portions. You'll leave full & happy without feeling like you've overpaid.
The vibe is cozy & unpretentious-definitely a family-run spot that feels authentic. Service is friendly, even when the place gets busy (& it does-so book ahead!).
I'll definitely be back for another round of Lomo Saltado-& maybe next time, I'll finally try the Piqueo Wellington sampler!
Not perfect, but for Montreal, this is as close as it gets for Peruvian comfort food. It's worth it!
The food was excellent as always, the server however came to our table about six times to see if we were ok, & we weren't even there 1 hour, it was very apparent that they wanted us to eat & leave fast. Usually it is not like that but possibly they were overbooked, we didn't enjoy our suppe
