My family went there for lunch on a Saturday. My husband is from Peru so he is familiar with the cuisine. There was one waitress for the restaurant so she was pretty busy with 4 tables when we came in, and 2 more groups came in afterwards. I would say service was quick and the wait time reasonable. The waitress spoke mainly with my husband in Spanish but she did speak in English to the rest of us when necessary. Not very friendly by Western stds but my husband did not find her rude just business like.
The food was quite good but a bit on the salty side esp. arroz con pollo & the fried fish. The best dish was ceviche mixto and of course Tamales Peruano. We ordered quite a few dishes 5 main (avg $15), 3 side ($6), 1 Pisco Sour $8 (delicious), 2 ice cream (expensive $7ea-not worth it) and a jug of Chicha Morada $12 (purple corn juice which was surprisingly good). The total was $125 plus add HST and tip so even lunch can be pricey. If you stick to water & no dessert then it averages to $18 a person.
I'd definitely go back again but at lunch when it's not too busy.
I just had the most amazing lunch dish at this restaurant. I really, really highly recommend the shrimp chowder with the poached egg. This was my first foray into a Peruvian restaurant and I relied on the staff (lovely) to advise me. Excellent and I will go out of my way to return to this venue if I am even remotely close at meal time.
I love Peruvian food and for 10 years have been looking for a decent option around the Toronto area. I have been to Boulevard Cafe in Toronto, some other one on Queen St that closed years ago and Machu Picchu a couple of years ago. That last time I promised not to go back.
A friend made me change my mind last weekend. "They brought a new chef from Peru", he said. So I tried it again, to my delight. The place is still in the industrial corridor of Oakville in between body shops appliance repair stores. And inside it still looks like it was designed on a budget. By the way I have never been a fan of soccer matches as a background for my meals. But the staff was nice.
The menu has not changed, and who wants it to change. Classical Peruvian fare. We ordered chupe de camaron, lomo saltado, mar de copas, tequenos and some more appetizers I can't remember. Everything was delicious. The ceviches in the mar de copas were remarkably fresh and flavourful. I don't like octopus but this one was amazing, in an oliva flavoured mayo. The tequennos were nice and crunchy. The chupe was to die for. My wife had the fish of the day, mahi mahi with shrimp sauce and a side of mashed potatoes and artichokes. Wow.
All in all the food was fantastic.This time around. The bill came in at about $50 per person including cheap, which is justifiable because we also had a couple of pisco sours.
As long as the restaurant keeps this new chef I am going back!
liked the atmosphere. the menu selection is quite large with some really interesting items. really authentic. very tasty. service is a bit slow, but generally ok. you just have to be a bit patient.
This is the best Peruvian Restaurant i went to. The chef prepares every serving fresh and i didn't wait long for my food like some restaurants maybe about ten minutes i was very impressed with the taste of my food because it was fresh and very well seasoned.
