Menu for Petit Peru Resto in Gatineau, QC

I have been going to Petit Peru for years and it seems that they just keep going downhill as time passes. Unfortunately, this... will definitely be my last time. Recently, I placed a 50$ plus take-out order and the quality of the food was horrible. Myceviche tradicional had a rotten sweet potato and the plate portion was so much smaller than usual. It is not worth it for theprice. I am surprised that I did not get sick. This is very sad as this used to be one of mine and my family's favoriterestaurant. Read more

Avoid. We had reserved a week in advance but they lost the reservation first thing we were told on arrival. After 20 mins we had... to get up to ask the waiter if we could have menus. He brought them to us in a stack and left them on the table. Brought usglasses in a stack and a bottle for us to serve ourselves and place. Then he disappeared for another 15 mins when we had to askhim now if we could order. I wish I could say they were busy but there was only one other family in the restaurant. The one cookwas eating at the bar, the other server was on her phone in the kitchen and the main server who couldn?t care less was also toobusy on his phone. 4 appetizers never showed up either. The food was decent but the service was abysmal. Almost 2 hours for ameal is ridiculous, it seems they don?t value or want any business. Also, avoid the bathroom, of the two stalls, one was used asstorage with a filthy mop and the bathroom was nasty. Spend your money somewhere else where they actually want yourbusiness. Also just saw that the waiter charged us for the same plate twice. On separate bills. Absolutely ridiculous, if youcan?t remember an order, write it down, what a abuse to clients. Read more

2022 Aug update Very happy that the place is open for lunch. Had to try it out. It?s located by the ruisseau and old Hull.... Street parking is easy and they also offer onsite parking. inside decor is homey and cozy. Tried out the Ceviche Petit Peruwhich is the combo plate with Ceviche Mixto ( marinated sea food) and Jalea ( deep fried breaded seafood). the Jalea portionwas quite small but the breading was nice and crispy. It had squid , fish and shrimp mix. Both fish and shrimp were deliciousbut squid lining was not removed. I was quite surprised with this and it cause the texture to be Chewie and gamey. Cevichemixto part was quite awesome. They put quite a bit of fish inside the taste was great. Ordered beef empanada but got chickeninstead. Overall ; paid $48 for lunch and cannot say I am happy with the wrong order nor impressed with Jalea / fried plate.But ceviche mixto was good hence 4*. Read more

With this restaurant you never know how the food it will be, sometimes you go and the food is great and others is just terrible... like yesterday for example. The wait time was ridiculous, the waitress did not tell us in advance that the food was going totake so long. They need to improve their service and the quality of the food, it shouldn?t be a hut or miss. Read more

I find the quality of the food here is a hut or miss. The traditional ceviche we ordered was disappointing. We had also ordered... 3 others mains and the tamale. The beef slices were tough. Either the cut of the meat used wasn't of good quality or the cookingtechnique wasn't up to par. The food was extremely salty. The only item we liked was the fried plantain and they gave maybe 4small pieces of that. It wasn't worth the cost we paid so we most likely won't be going back. Read more
