This was my first time there and first time trying Peruvian food. Every thing was delicious, the only thing that was not so good was the enormous amount of onions in my dish. I like onions, just not in that amount. Definitely recommend it if you're in western Massachusetts. read more

Good authentic place.yummy chicken.good homemade limeade.stellar soups.overall pretty solid but mid fish tacos.

Good food, friendly service, accommodates vegetarians and vegans. Open during the off season, not all restaurants in the area are.

This place has amazing food and service! We had the shrimp paella and fish and chips. The fish is so tender and delicious and the paella was also full of flavor. I wanted to go twice on our trip to Lee, but sadly they were closed on our last day there. Highly recommend! read more

Great burger and fries, good calamari. Authentic menu selections, but some items were overpriced and not everyone in our group thought they were that tasty. Service was good, establishment was clean, but interior deco could use updating. read more

This is our second visit and the second time we enjoyed a delicious Peruvian meal with wonderful friendly service. While the ambiance is simple, our meals were wonderful. We shared a few ceviches among the five of us, and then each got our own mains. My fish with Ajo sauce was wonderful, and my wife's fish soup was excellent. My son enjoyed a beef stir fry that echoed of the Asian influences in Peru. Prices were reasonable and we all enjoyed the experience. read more

Went here while visiting the Berkshires early August, it was recommended by the hotel receptionist. Very good! Greeted us nicely, gave us a choice of good seats in a dining room with a lot of wood and Peru-related art. Good cocktail, served with a little cup of that roasted corn for the table to munch on. Very good main dish, lomo saltado, the Asian-style sauteed beef and veg and rice that is a Peruvian mainstay, came with french fries in it as usual but just a few for taste, at other places sometimes the dish comes with way too many. Overall very glad we went there, in a downtown block with other restaurants and stores, right on Main Street/Route 20, just half a mile from our Housatonic Street hotel. read more

Delicious fish and chips (would've ordered the ceviche but was not feeling great but so glad to have ordered) and seafood soup! The tilapia was some of the best fish I've ever had!!! It was super Moist and flavorful. The French fries or chips were standard and not as flavorful but fine with ketchup :) had a lot to brought back leftovers for next day lunch! read more

Excellent ceviche and steamed salmon -- long-time favorites of mine. One of my wife's and my favorite restaurants in the Berkshires for a number of years now. read more

Excellent food! We had seafood paella, seafood caucau, and fish soup. All of it was delicious and it was evident that it was carefully and expertly prepared. Service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious food! A variety of seafood as well as Peruvian land favorites. The food is some of the most flavorful I've had in MA and certainly unique read more

It is seldom that I hit Lee, Mass. While over in Lee, we decided to try out this Peruvian restaurant. So many choices, but just time for lunch. We will be returning to Alpamayo perhaps on another day. I had the seafood paella while SO had the fried seafood platter. OMG! I had a few bites of his and shared a few bites of mine. Both were just delicious. Of course, that all depends on whether or not you like seafood. It was fresh and plentiful. There were lots of calmari both on top of the rice and in the flavorful rice. On top was shrimp, mussels, calmari and a clam. I am a fan of tentacles and there were a number of these strewn throughout the dish. SO's fried dish was also a beautiful dish with so many tentacles (which I am happy to say he shared with me). I have not had the opportunity to eat in Peru but look forward to it one day. Staff were friendly and efficient. Parking was on the street, however, I did see signs that there is public parking off the main drag. So many options we did not try which just means we'll have to go back for more. read more

Alpamayo Restaurant - Seafood paella - Peruvian Near Me - Lee, Massachusetts

Dimly lit intimate space...you will experience traditional music, TV futbol games, drink and fare of Peru with a smattering of Americano. Polite service, be patient with prep. A complimentary snack of roasted corn is offered. The mixed seafood civiche is served with corn and roasted yucca and topped with sliced red onion. I ordered the seafood paella which had calamari, clam, mussels and shrimp. The rice was bright almost turmeric like also topped with thin sliced red onion. They also use Peas and carrots which are Al dente. I would definitely recommend trying this place and - tip of the day is don't miss the the passion fruit pisco (Maraguya) or the cusequna beer (very malty). read more

We ordered the seafood paella and grilled steak. Both of them were the absolutely delicious. This was the best paella I've had in Massachusetts! It was a hot summer day and the staff recommended the Chicha Morada. This was our first time trying this drink and it was so heavenly! The perfect blend of spices and sweetness. We had a glass each. But I could just drink a whole pitcher of it! I hope we go back soon. read more

First eat me say our food was delicious! The seafood and fish soup was a taste sensation! Service was efficient fast but not particularly friendly in an American way. This is not a bad thing it's more of we are from a more southern state and used to a more warm and chatty type of service. This was very direct European type of service. The decor reminds you of an old 80's pizza place with the wooden bench booths. Not fancy at all. Street parking. Small bar although we did not have drinks. Soft drinks are served and charged per can with a glass of ice. read more

authentic good food, quick pleasant service, I look forward to returning and trying more dishes.

Tastes like home style Peruvian and so glad it is open on a Tuesday evening. For four people we enjoyed one order of Jalea, one Lomo Saltado, one shrimp with fried rice. My younger had chicken tenders and fries. Setting is casual diner style and sat in a booth. Had tres leches cake for dessert. Would return for casual dining good for kids and adults. read more

Getting 7 adults and 2 kids to agree upon a restaurant for dinner is not always an easy task. However, after finding Alpamayo on Yelp, we all agreed to give it a try and were so happy that we did. The Peruvian food, new to all of us, was so delicious, flavorful and plentiful. One of our best meals while visiting the Berkshires was here at Alpamayo. The entrees were prepared with fresh ingredients and came out pipping hot. The Saltado, whether with chicken or shrimp, was by far one of the best entrees of the night. The Paella was average, but our other entrees, including the salmon was awesome. The time between placing our order and receiving our food was a lengthy one, but definitely worth it. In addition to their vast selection of Peruvian entrees, they offer a kids menu (chicken fingers, fish and chips, hot dog, etc.) read more

I really love this restaurant and feel for them with how the lack of work and pandemic have affected quantity of food. Haven't ordered since the pandemic began and a little disappointed for portion size on the $18 ceviche mixto. Still delicious and a great appetizer after a day of biking and hiking. Now off to find something that will fill me up read more

Zero complaints about the food, service or prices at Alpamayo. We went awhile ago and have been saying every time we're in the Berkshires that we need to go back and finally did this trip. The menu is great. So many items to pick from! I tried a glass of the Chicha Morada which is made from fruits, spices and purple corn and loved it so much that we splurged and got a pitcher. Yum! I also love the popcorn kernals they serve as a free app before your meal. We tried the beef heart appetizer. Incredibly yummy. I loved the spices they used and you definitely don't see that on a menu every day. For my main dish, I went with the seafood cau cau which comes with clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp and calamari stewed with potatoes and peas in just the most delicious broth with a serving of rice in the center. Can I say again how delicious this dish is?! My partner got the steamed salmon and he thought it was perfect. Prices were super reasonable for this amazing food. We'll have to go back again next trip! read more

What a delicious surprise! We've seen this spot for years when visiting the Berkshires, but never went in. We were actually searching Yelp for dinner ideas nearby and saw the great ratings Alpamayo had- so we decided on giving it a try, and are so glad we did! We started with a beet and apple salad topped with goat cheese crumbles, which was delicious and healthy, then shared the seafood paella and the lomo saltado. The paella was good, although a bit more seafood would have been nice. The lomo saltado was new to both of us and was very good! The beef had great flavor and the sauce really complemented both the sweet sautéed onions and the crispy fries. Sadly, no room for dessert. read more

I was looking forward to the seafood paella dish but it was bland and had very little seafood in it. I asked for something to spice it up. My friend ordered the salmon dish and much of it was raw. The service was fine. Probably will not go here again. read more

My date had coconut shrimp she thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well! We had 2 Peruvian cocktails that were out of this world! Server friendly and very accommodating! The atmosphere is a small quaint setting great overall place! We will be back read more

What a gem of a restaurant! I didn't expect to have amazing Peruvian food in my time in the Berkshires, but Alpamayo proved me wrong. It's a cute restaurant in the Lee area that has a great menu. We got the ceviche mixto to start, the shrimp in aji amarillo sauce, and rotisserie chicken. The ceviche mixto was very fresh and had great citrus flavors. The shrimp dish was the favorite! The aji amarillo sauce was so decadent and paired so nicely with the rice. The yellow rice with veggies was so fresh and some of the best I've ever had. The rotisserie chicken was tender and moist. The fries that came with it were the that extra crispy kind that are the best. Plantains were also delicious! Very casual atmosphere with good food, good drinks, and friendly service. read more

The food is excellent-consistently so. Still is. But dinner time on a Sunday evening- don't waste your time trying to enjoy dinner here (6 PM) But man, the staffing and service is so bad, I take 3 stars off. yes, there's a labor shortage. But do you guys thinks that because you're the only Peruvian (read: tasty) restaurant in the Berkshires, you can get away with ignoring customers, sitting @ tables, waiting to order? Really? No soon up, please forgive us, not a word from the server (the only one in the place-and (its not small)....those are the little things which makes one forgive what they are going through. But ignoring people? What's the idea behind that? No corn to nibble on (gone I get THAT), but 10 minutes to get a glass of water.... No, If I do return, (big if) it will never be at a "rush hour" , however given that they stop serving @ 8PM on Sunday,, and we're there for a weekend, I am not inclined to favor this place. Just a bad bad taste in my mouth We can , and do eat and enjoy Peruvian food in NY, without this attitude. read more

This Peruvian seafood eatery is on Lee's main street. We went in to grab a late late lunch at nearly 4pm after KBT hike and before the concert. The restaurant was empty with one table of four people by the window. The hostess sat us in the back in the tiny booth for two, which I won't mind if they're busy. By the time we left, a couple came in and were treated to the more spacious booth. The food was ok, overly salty - for someone who loves salt. The Cusqueña beer is interesting: it uses pyramid as logo - Peru has pyramid isn't widely know. read more

We love this place, great food, great drinks and great service. We kept coming back here every time we are in Lee Massachusetts. I love the seafood and fish ceviche and fish taco. However there's more great food. read more

Like being back in Lima, but in Lee. Food and ambiance reminiscent of normal everyday Cafe in Lima. Huge kernel corn like in Peru. Came here a few years ago. I think they had Alpaca on the menu back then, but now heavy on seafood. Delicious corn on cob with cheese accented with Chica Morada, a classic Peruvian drink. Like others have commented, once the place got packed service was slower as only one server is there. But she was very nice given how much she had to do. Roller skates might have been handy! Will come back again when in the area. read more

The service is a little slow due to there was only 1 person waiting on everyone. She did a pretty good job keeping up with all the tables. I ordered the Pescado a Lo Macho but wasn't sure about it. The food was great. The fried fish covered in the aji Amarillo sauce with shrimp, clams and mussels was outstanding. My wife ordered the Jalea, which was the fried seafood platter. Everything on the plate was cooked perfectly. read more

Omg where do I begin. We came in with a bigger group of six this past Friday night. We had made a reservation and were seated immediately. For drinks we ordered a pitcher of the pisco sour for the table. This is the drink Peru is known for. Very similar to a margarita and very delicious. We ordered lots of appetizers. The octopus, calamari, potatoes with cheese, and the shrimp ceviche. Everything was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Dinner was nothing short of spectacular. Every person ordered something different. I had the fish macho. I could have licked the sauce off of my plate..... but I am a lady so I held myself back. My husband had the seafood cau cau and it was soooooo yummy. Others ordered shrimp and garlic, and steak with an egg. Everything was spectacular and perfectly cooked. Service was extraordinary. Don't be put off by the size of this establishment. You just need to eat here! I promise it will be one of the best meals that you've ever eaten. read more

A small, quiet, friendly restaurant in the downtown area of Lee. Service is friendly and quick. I had the Lomo Saltado (Sautéed Beef), and the rest of my party had the Seared Scallops and Garlic Shrimp. The Beef was an amazing sample of the type of flavor available at this discreet restaurant. The Seared Scallops were "some of the best I've ever had" according to one party member. A glowing review from them, I may add. There was something to be desired from the Garlic Shrimp, but it was admittedly still extremely flavorful. All in all, I say this little restaurant on Main Street has earned its glowing reviews, and also one of my own. read more

Our first visit. We love Peruvian cuisine, and so chose Alpamayo based on Yelp reviews. Small, family restaurant with simple décor. We will return when in the area. We enjoyed our dinner of Pollo Saltado with rice and fries, and the 1/2 chicken entrée with fries and house salad. Also ordered side of creamy Peruvian beans made from Peruano beans that will remind you of Cannellini beans. See Pics Tip: Can highly recommend Pollo Saltado (a Chinese-inspired traditional Peruvian dish) based on freshness and complexity of flavors. Will remind you of Asian cooking. Pluses: Friendly service. Full bar. If I wasn't driving for hours more, would have tried a traditional Pisco Sour...a delightfully refreshing Peruvian (and Chilean) drink. Where: Minutes off I90 in downtown Lee. Street parking is free. Dinner daily except closed Monday; Lunch Fri-Sun Small Gripe: Would prefer the option to choose rice and beans as alternative to French Fries for uplift charge. Alert: Kitchen is small and can see that this place could easily be over-whelmed when full with diners. read more

Visited during COVID, and the restaurant had patrons well spaced out. Ordered a variety of dishes including the Peruvian rotisserie chicken which was delicious and juicy! Came with French fries which were crispy and a fresh side salad. Had the lomo saltado which was a great blend of steak, onions, and tomato over a bed of French fries with a side of white rice; steak was tender but wish there was a bit more of it! Menu was quite large and anticipate being able to find something for everyone; also quite diverse and included a lobster roll even. read more

Alpamayo Restaurant - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Lee, Massachusetts

Food was meh, service was worse. They only had one server on a Saturday night...okay, help is hard to find....but if patrons have to wait 45 minutes for their dinners, put some bread or chips on the table. Peruvian chicken was dry and tasteless. The fries were not fresh cut and were mealy and soggy. The two shrimp dishes were okay, very garlicy, but tasty. We paid cash because it took 20 minutes to get the check and we didn't want to find out how long it would take to get the credit card receipt. read more

This is a great Peruvian restaurant not too far from Albany, NY. Very convenient to stop by if you come to the outlets. The food is the best Peruvian you can get in the area close by. I have been several times and loved most of their items. I like seafood Jalea, chicken, Chichi Morada drink, lomo saltado and tres leches cake. The Peruvian corn they serve is awesome! read more
