Peruviano

Very nice place, the patio is really nice and it has a good home feel to it, good music and delicious food. Staff was excellent, although at the beginning our server left without notifying anyone of our order, but very quickly it was recovered by another server who noticed. It is always nice when the owner comes by and says hello and welcomes you and goes around to all the tables; very nice Lady. Portions of main dish could be a bit bigger. My husband I will definitely be back, absolutely recommend this place.

We're so glad we stopped in. My family and I were passing through Hamilton for the day and were happy we were accomodated, even without a reservation. The food was beautifully executed, well seasoned and perfectly portioned. The ceviche made spicy was amazing! We're sure to be back again!

Absolutely amazing meal. Everything was so delicious. Our party tried four different dishes and all four were wonderful. The patio in the back is beautiful and cozy. I wish we didn’t live 7 hours away. I’d be back every weekend.

Terrific experience! We stumbled upon this gem on Locke St as we were looking for something open a bit late, and I’m so glad we ended up here. The empanadas are truly something special to start off with. Such an interesting combination of ground beef, olives, and raisins; an elevated take on a South American staple! Covered it in the sauce. Sudado was good! Mild flavours, but tasty nonetheless. Soup was amazing! Fully loaded of seafood and rice, the meal put me to sleep! What really stood out was the ambiance, such a great atmosphere. It was comfortable, yet undeniably chic. Overall awesome experience, add it to the formula for a perfect date night!

Since first trying it last year, has quickly become one of my most favorite restaurants in the city. Fantastic food, inventive Peruvian & Italian fusion, fair prices, great, engaging service, perfect atmosphere.Food: 5/5

One of the hidden gems on lock street. Hamilton, Ontario. Amazing selection of dishes from Peru. Very nice light spices with fantastic. I wouldn’t go with local cocktails as they were heavy for me but food was very light and satisfying

Drove 1hr just to try this place as I heard good things about it. Was disappointed in a few things. I eat Peruvian food all the time as my wife is Peruvian and been to Peru many many times so I know what to look for. Quality and taste of food is 5/5 BUT portion wise depends what you get is not so good. For example ANTICUCHOS 5/5 Taste and portion are very good. Probably my favorite one. LA PERFECTA PAREJA ceviche and jalea1/5 Very disappointed!! Portion is sooooo little for that price. I was thinking to share the plate but it’s not even enough for 1 person. Got 1x yam in ceviche and 2x fried yuka fries in this plate. Wasn’t even filling. Had to order garlic bread to fill me Up. GARLIC BREAD 4/5 Not Peruvian style but 100% Italian style. I enjoyed it none the less as this is an Peruvian/Italian restaurant. CHILCANO 1/5 worse one I’ve gad. Very strong and not enough Gingerale. Couldn’t finish it. portion was good tho. MARACUYA SOUR 3/5 Not bad. Had better ones but not bad. Portion is good. OVERALL, I really wanted to like this place since I drove 1hr for it. My recommendation if you’re in the Markham area and want good portion of jalea or ceviche check out Los Chicos Brasa in Markham. So far from all the Peruvian restaurants I’ve tried in Toronto they are the closed to real back home Peru food. Even have pollo a la brasa which Peruviano doesn’t even have. My experience at Peruviano otherwise was good. Great service and they bring the food out fast. Servers are super good and friendly. If I was to change anything I would focus on portion and price. Some items are over priced for the portion you get. Location is great and love the backyard patio!

We went there for the first time tonight and it was amazing. We never had peruvian food before and I must say it exceeded my expectations. We forgot to take photos of our appetizers which were an empanada with seasoned ground beef, botija olives, raisins and egg and the perfect pastry and fried plantains. Then we ordered Sudado which was white fish in a sauce with tomatoes, roasted peppers, onions and cilatro and rice and cassava and we ordered ceviche. It was amazing!!! Service was impeccable. Definitely going to be a repeat customer. The chef came to introduce himself and took the time to ask us about our experience and the quality of the food. It was a 10/10. Everyone must try this beautiful gem of a restaurant.

Service and food were good. I’ll go back and choose a new dish to taste. Varied selection of dishes with a South American flavour.

This place is spectacular. I had the ceviche-jalia combo platter and the passionfruit cheesecake dessert. The dinner was really delicious and the portions were well sized. The fried seafood in the Jalia was crispy, well designed, and perfectly cooked. The ceviche was zingy and tender, and the sweet potato was so flavorful. On top of all of this, the staff was super kind, really friendly and talkative. Overall I highly recommend this place, and I'll be back!
