Peruviano - Hamilton

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 BUT portion wise depends what you get is not so good. For example ANTICUCHOS 5/5 Taste and portion are very good. Probably my favorite one. LA PERFECTA PAREJA (ceviche and jalea)1/5 Very disappointed!! Portion is sooooo little for that price. I was thinking 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. I enjoyed it none the less as this is an Peruvian/Italian restaurant. CHILCANO 1/5 worse one I?ve gad. Very strong and not enough Gingerale. Couldn?t finish it. portion was good tho. MARACUYA SOUR 3/5 Not bad. Had better ones but not bad. Portion is good. OVERALL, I really wanted to like this place since I drove 1hr for it. My recommendation if you?re in the Markham area and want good portion of jalea or ceviche check out Los Chicos Brasa in Markham. So far from all the Peruvian restaurants I?ve tried in Toronto they are the closed to real back home Peru food. Even have pollo a la brasa which Peruviano doesn?t even have. My experience at Peruviano otherwise was good. Great service and they bring the food out fast. Servers are super good and friendly. 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!

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 a gorgonzola. My beef was cooked right, super tender... amazing. And my Husband fish was really good. The waitress was very kind and polite.

This restaurant is truly amazing. I ordered the ceviche-jalia combo platter along with the passionfruit cheesecake for dessert. The meal was incredibly tasty and the portion sizes were just right. The fried seafood in the Jalia was crispy, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The ceviche was zesty and tender, and the sweet potato had a wonderful flavor. Additionally, the staff was exceptionally nice, friendly, and engaging. Overall, I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely return!

What an incredible dining experience! Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. Our group sampled four different meals, and each one was fantastic. The outdoor patio in the back is stunning and inviting. If only we didn't live seven hours away—I would love to come back every weekend!

We're really glad we decided to stop by! My family and I were passing through Hamilton for the day, and we were pleased that they could accommodate us without a reservation. The food was beautifully presented, well-seasoned, and served in perfect portions. The spicy ceviche was outstanding! We definitely plan to return!
