Reviews portray Villa Wellington as a family run Peruvian restaurant in Verdun that serves authentic flavors with generous portions, featuring favorites like ceviche, anticuchos, lomo saltado, pulpo al olivo, and seafood platters, while guests frequently praise the friendly and attentive staff and a warm, convivial atmosphere with Latin music; most visits highlight solid or excellent dishes and good value, though a few opinions note smaller portions, occasional service delays or disorganization during busy times, and some inconsistency in seasoning or spice balance across 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
We decided to visit this restaurant to celebrate Mother's Day, & it turned out to be an excellent choice. The dishes served were absolutely delicious, offering a genuine & authentic Peruvian cuisine that really impressed us.
We genuinely look forward to returning in the future & enjoying another wonderful meal. Without a doubt, we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic & satisfying Peruvian cuisine!

The food here was absolutely great! We had the piqueo wellington, & it was the perfect way to sample a little bit of some important dishes from the menu!! highly recommended if it's your first time. Their ceviche was amazing, super fresh & full of flavor! For dessert, we had the suspiro limeno, which was such a treat. It's the first time I've seen a Peruvian restaurant actually offer it, & they had it available. Loved the whole experience!
AMAZING service & the food was impeccable! Delicious! We were a big group & everybody enjoyed their meals. We had the calamari, nachos, mixed ceviche, & chicken fajitas. Everybody else from our group had different meals but they were all appetizing. Our waiter went above & beyond. We were celebrating two birthdays & the staff came out singing. It was a great experience. Will definitely be coming back! A+++

Ça fait la job sans plus, ces assiettes sont trop salées pas de nuances comme l arroz con mariscos tant qu à lomo saltado il était correct, le pisco ordinaire & les vins sont de mauvaise qualité mention honorable à la papa rellena
amazing service! their menu clearly states what's vegetarian & gluten free, & they urge you to tell them about any other dietary restrictions, which you don't see at many other restaurants. the food was delicious as well! 10/10:)
