| - We met a Peruvian couple at a dinner party a few weeks ago and asked them about their favorite Peruvian restaurant in Montreal. They highly recommended the recently opened Tiradito, and specifically recommended their "fish" dishes. They love Nikkei cuisine and Tiradito fit the bill perfectly.
This restaurant/bar is extremely popular so reservations are highly recommended. They have a 6 o'clock seating and an 8 o'clock seating.
After ordering our cocktails, our group of four ordered a mixture of dishes. Their fried foods were my favorite; I loved the octopus anticucho and peruvian potatoes. They both had the perfect amount of crispiness on the outside and a soft interior. The spicy cauliflower dish has a thai curry flavor to it. The avocado causa did not stand out particularly in my mind. Our two ceviches ( mixed ceviche and fish ceviche) were good, but I am no expert on ceviche. We didn't order the albacore tuna tiradito but I really wished we had tried it. By the end, we were still a little hungry and so we each had a butifarra sandwich. This is very similar to Momofuku`s pork belly buns, it tasted like a steamed bun à la Peking Duck. We finished off the dinner by splitting a dessert (the waiter was so kind he even split it into four plates for us!!) It was the perfect way to end our dinner.
I loved that we ate with sporks, but when we requested an extra spoon to use for sharing the dishes (especially the soupier ones), they told us to just use our spork. Couldn't they just spare one extra spoon?! Luckily we were all good friends... but still... hygiene is important guys...
The menu is short with very few vegetarian options. Our vegan friend had to be creative and requested a vegetarian bun be made. They were happy to accommodate and brought her a sweet potato steamed bun sandwich which she enjoyed. The waiters were all extremely friendly and genuinely happy to share their culture with us.
Overall, I had a very nice evening and I would be happy to return. I loved the decor and ambiance. If you are a couple, you could sit at the bar and watch everyone at work. If you are a bigger group, there is a long communal counter with stools. One thing we noticed at the end of the night was that we were constantly looking for a place to rest our feet. We were all looking for a non-existent beam under the table to rest our hanging legs on. Hopefully, they will install a wooden beam under the tables by the time I return for my next meal :)
