| - A hidden gem would be the best way to describe this new hot spot on King West. The entrance is a bit hidden unless you are familiar with the former club F-stop. You might not be familiar with Peruvian food but the chef behind the food here is definitely not a stranger to you as a real foodie - he once was the chef at Patria and Byblos.
We came here for my friends birthday party. I brought a cake for which not surprisingly they wanted to charge $5 cutting fee per person. Most of restaurants do these days. But at the end, we said we would order two more desserts and they waived the cutting fees and the desserts turn out to be fantastic. So we are happy with the result.
We ordered beet salad, bay scallop, ceviche trio, duck breast, beef heart, yuca fries and a mushroom side dish. The waiter suggested 4 apps and 4 mains since there were 4 of us and the portion tends to be small, but knowing our limits we went for 3 and 3 which we were glad we did. We were pretty full at the end!
Everything came to our table was absolutely delicious, especially the beet salad, yuca fries and the beef heart. What's even better was the two desserts our waiter recommended. The first we had is called cachangas, really good. The second dessert was Lucuma mousse which was sooo nice. I asked what Lucuma was and it turned out to be a tropical fruit that is not available here in Toronto! So delicious.
I had a glass of 5 oz Malbec and my friends ordered a few cocktails. They were all nicely done.
All in all, we are very happy with the food and the service over all. And the price level is also pretty on point.
