| - Once again, Hubby and I ventured out into the Calgary food scene. This time we wanted something different. We came across Inti on Yelp, while searching for a seafood restaurant.
Based on the stellar reviews, and a strong desire to sample another country's food, we made reservations (which by the way you will need, because it is a very small but very popular place) for dinner the next evening.
We were greeted like close family by Consuello. She is a very sweet, kind and warm soul. She insists on making her customers feel like guests in her own home.
We decided to order a typical Peruvian beverage. Consuello suggested a blue corn drink (can't remember the name). It was not sweet but very refreshing and you don't feel like you are drinking suggary soda or mashed up corn.
Consuello suggested that since we wished to sample a variety of Peruvian dishes, that we order the buffet. A great decision! There were lots of different dishes (for carnivores and herbivores) lots of interesting and tasty sauces to sample, salad bar, desert table and two flavoured rice dishes.
We enjoyed the food.They use typical Peruvian spices in their dishes. I ate a flan de leche which was great! It actually tasted homemade, not Betty Crocker! My husband ate his dessert before his food, naturally, which he loved.
The business is family run, all staff are very friendly and helpful.
This restaurant is a little known gem! Help spread the word to other foodies. Inti is awesome!
