My husband being Peruvian, he likes the most authentic restaurants. This menu is based on gourmet Northern Peruvian cuisine. We were both impressed at the quality of the food, the service, and the decor. Upon walking in, the waitress was quite welcoming. Hablan español. They have a huge selection of wines and piscos. They have a seasonal menu with many meat options and a couple of vegan and vegetarian options as well. The food was delicious. The quantity was satisfying for me but my Peruvian husband loves his huge portions and wishes for more. I got a fish dish and he got lamb. For the appetizers we got a potatoes with pepper sauce and a well done beef heart. Beautiful presentation of the dishes. Food was fresh and took a fair amount of time to cook. I got a passion fruit mocktail. When we got our bill, we got these cute handmade souvenirs. Overall, we loved our experience for a special occasion as it's a bit pricier than a casual meal. We would take someone here to show them a good experience of Peruvian cuisine.

I went for Summerlicous and had a pleasant experience. That being said, I was mildly disappointed with the portions of the food, and while the flavours were in line with expectations, nothing in particular blew me away. It doesnt strike me as the best option for Peruvian food.

What an incredible night! Was a perfect day to celebrate Valentine's Day! Perfect food, cozy place and people were delighted with a Peruvian dance show!

Awesome bartender and wait staff. Very quick and accommodating. Love the music and atmosphere. The toasted corn is a great touch and delicious bar snack I haven't had else were. Would recommend for large dinner parties with a fun Peruvian atmosphere. First resturant I've been to that's Peruvian! Will have to come back to try the menu everything that's gone passed smells amazing!

Food and service was delicious, staff is very friendly, would recommend it again!!! 100% love it!!!

Excellent food! Great price! We stumbled upon this restaurant today while walking down College Street and thought we'd try it for dinner. This was the best empanada I've ever had and my husband had a plate of ceviche for an appetizer hat could easily have been a main course. We had beer and sangria $6 each and there are a selection of main courses for $15! Fresh, tasty and nicely presented. With the cheque we also got some lovely peruvian pins! Great service and great food! A wonderful experience. my husband's a chef and he loved the food as well.

The food is ok. I wont go there again. The waitress was very helpful but the food and quality I am not sure, especially sea food.

Food was mostly tasteful, not sure I had the true authentic Peruvian taste sensation though. Fish in the ceviche I agree with some other reviews tssted a bit too fishy, maybe too little lime or the wrong type of fish. Lomo saltado was good. Pollo a la brasa had only a hint of the authentic flavour but was otherwise good. Service was great and didn't have to wait for too long to be served. Prize a bit on the high side. Do try the Inca kola if you have never tasted it. Weird but nice!

Pleasant dinner in a very nice ambiance. The service was fast and attentive, with patient guidance to food and drinks. The two of us ordered 3 appetizers and two main dishes to share, all nicely presented and tasty. We will come again.

What a fantastic place! The food was flavoured wonderfully and had great pairings. I ordered the alpaca, which took me right back to my trip to Peru a year ago. Very friendly and helpful staff. One of our best dining experiences in a long time.
