Mon nouveau restaurant préféré à verdun! J'en avais entendu parlé depuis longtemps & j'étais dû pour y aller... Résultat tout y est:la nourriture est délicieuse savoureuse & en quantité généreuse..un service amical & chaleureux, un décor traditionnel & de la musique latino (bachata, salsa) qui nous donne envie de danser après le délicieux repas. Je reviendrai définitivement car le menu est très bien garni aussi, j'avais envie de prendre & essayer tellement de choses... Gracias🙏
I went with my family last week, we ordered the one with anticuchos, causa, ceviche (i think it was la ronda marina) i had high expectations but the food was tasteless & horrible
I had the worst causa that I've ever eaten. It didn't taste the aji amarillo & I think they use yellow colorante idk.
The ceviche was horrible, think I can prepare it better lol. No spicy & it tasted just lemon & ginger.
The anticuchos, lack of spices, horrible, the marinade was tasteless.
Tbh, idk why people still reviewing with 5 or 4 starts, i want to believe that they are from here that never had real peruvian food & I understand that many of the costumers are from Quebec & they are not usually eat spicy food but the restaurant should keep the original recipe.
Food was great, but the service is very disorganized. Someone will get their food & then everyone else will wait another 30min before they get theirs. People are nice though. Waited longer for the salad than the grilled chicken.
Très belle expérience dans ce restaurant péruvien. Le serveur était chaleureux, attentionné & toujours souriant, ce qui a rendu le repas encore plus agréable. L'ambiance est conviviale, avec une belle énergie qui met tout de suite à l'aise. Les plats sont savoureux & bien présentés, on sent la fraîcheur des ingrédients & l'authenticité des saveurs péruviennes.
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.
