| - First, I should say, I'm Peruvian born and raised. So I've had the real deal when it comes to Peruvian food :)
Atmosphere: nicely decorated, clean, relaxed feeling. I have been to all the Peruvian restaurants in Toronto, and this one certainly is the less rustic, more sophisticated one.
Service: the waiter was nice and informative. Explained what each dish was as he brought them. There was a bit of a delay between the appetizer and entrees, but, worth the wait
Food: we had:
Yucas a la huancaina: I'd rate them 3.5 out of 5. The sauce was a bit on the spicy side, just a hint less of aji and an extra minute frying the cassavas, and would have been perfect.
Seco de ternero: this was really delicious. It certainly is a heavy deviation from how the dish is originally meant to be, but spot on flavours. Having said that, it was a very small portion. Considering cost and flavour, 4 out of 5 score.
Creme brûlée: it was good. Not much to say about it, 4 out of 5
Pisco sour: this was probably the star of the night. Highly recommended. 4.5 out of 5.
This is a new place in the city and would certainly recommend it among my 2 choices for Peruvian restaurants in Toronto. Can't wait to try their lomo saltado, should they add it to the menu.
