Reviews for Peruviano in Hamilton, ON
Drove 1hr just to try this place as I heard good things about it. Was disappointed in a few things. I eat Peruvian food all the... time as my wife is Peruvian and been to Peru many many times so I know what to look for. Quality and taste of food is 5/5 BUTportion wise depends what you get is not so good. For example ANTICUCHOS 5/5 Taste and portion are very good. Probably myfavorite one. LA PERFECTA PAREJA (ceviche and jalea)1/5 Very disappointed!! Portion is sooooo little for that price. I wasthinking to share the plate but it?s not even enough for 1 person. Got 1x yam in ceviche and 2x fried yuka fries in this plate.Wasn?t even filling. Had to order garlic bread to fill me Up. GARLIC BREAD 4/5 Not Peruvian style but 100% Italian style. Ienjoyed it none the less as this is an Peruvian/Italian restaurant. CHILCANO 1/5 worse one I?ve gad. Very strong and not enoughGingerale. Couldn?t finish it. portion was good tho. MARACUYA SOUR 3/5 Not bad. Had better ones but not bad. Portion isgood. OVERALL, I really wanted to like this place since I drove 1hr for it. My recommendation if you?re in the Markham areaand want good portion of jalea or ceviche check out Los Chicos Brasa in Markham. So far from all the Peruvian restaurants I?vetried in Toronto they are the closed to real back home Peru food. Even have pollo a la brasa which Peruviano doesn?t evenhave. My experience at Peruviano otherwise was good. Great service and they bring the food out fast. Servers are super good andfriendly. If I was to change anything I would focus on portion and price. Some items are over priced for the portion you get. Location is great and love the backyard patio! Read more
Very nice place, the patio is really nice and it has a good home feel to it, good music and delicious food. Staff was excellent,... although at the beginning our server left without notifying anyone of our order, but very quickly it was recovered by anotherserver who noticed. It is always nice when the owner comes by and says hello and welcomes you and goes around to all the tables;very nice Lady. Portions of main dish could be a bit bigger. My husband I will definitely be back, absolutely recommend thisplace. Read more
Beautiful patio. Friendly service. Refreshingly different menu from other restaurants we have frequented in the area. We enjoyed... the sangria as well as pisco sours. The plantains and empanadas were tasty appetizers. We also enjoyed our mains. Coffeerecently imported directly from Peru by the owner, as well as delicious churros were a nice end to the meal. We will return! Read more
We went there for the first time tonight and it was amazing. We never had peruvian food before and I must say it exceeded my... expectations. We forgot to take photos of our appetizers which were an empanada with seasoned ground beef, botija olives,raisins and egg and the perfect pastry and fried plantains. Then we ordered Sudado which was white fish in a sauce withtomatoes, roasted peppers, onions and cilatro and rice and cassava and we ordered ceviche. It was amazing!!! Service wasimpeccable. Definitely going to be a repeat customer. The chef came to introduce himself and took the time to ask us about ourexperience and the quality of the food. It was a 10/10. Everyone must try this beautiful gem of a restaurant. Read more
Absolutely amazing meal. Everything was so delicious. Our party tried four different dishes and all four were wonderful. The... patio in the back is beautiful and cozy. I wish we didn?t live 7 hours away. I?d be back every weekend. Read more
We're so glad we stopped in. My family and I were passing through Hamilton for the day and were happy we were accomodated, even... without a reservation. The food was beautifully executed, well seasoned and perfectly portioned. The ceviche made spicy wasamazing! We're sure to be back again! Read more
This place is spectacular. I had the ceviche-jalia combo platter and the passionfruit cheesecake dessert. The dinner was... really delicious and the portions were well sized. The fried seafood in the Jalia was crispy, well designed, and perfectlycooked. The ceviche was zingy and tender, and the sweet potato was so flavorful. On top of all of this, the staff was superkind, really friendly and talkative. Overall I highly recommend this place, and I'll be back! Read more
This Sunday was the first day we went there and get in. At night the restaurant is always busy, so I recommend you make... reservations if you want go there for dinner. The food was perfect. I took Lomo saltado and my husband took a pesce agorgonzola. My beef was cooked right, super tender... amazing. And my Husband fish was really good. The waitress was very kindand polite. Read more
