I walked by the restaurant when it was closed and walked by again and it was open. The small restaurant filled up quickly. The service is relaxed and kind. The table next to me had their dog with them and the server brought the dog some water. The food looks great and tastes even better. The restaurant is not very quiet; full of conversations and Latin music. read more

Casa Peru - Chicharron - Peruvian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Nice place , but the owner can be a little more nice. It's quite pity to be talked so coldly

We made 630p reservation for 4. A unique Peruvian restaurant- the first we ever tried. We were seated and even though busy cleaning up from prior guests a friendly server came soon and took our order. Ceviche was very tasty. The lamb dish and steak strip dish were both very tasty. The chicken dish was also good just a bit too salty. Good Malbec wine and good sangria. Owner stopped also by our table and we chatted about what we had read about her restaurant on her website. We finished up our meal with best tres leche dessert we have ever had. read more

I was traveling in Amsterdam for the first time in July 2023 and found a wonderful Peruvian restaurant in the heart of the city, "CASA PERU". As we walked in my family and I were immediately greeted by the friendly manager and staff. Once seated, we couldn't help the smell of the wonderful aromas of the Peruvian cooking. I tried the famous " lomo saltado" the meet's texture was soft, tender and tasty, the flavor of the sauce just perfect & delicious . it excedeed my expectations ! We tasted the ceviche, papa a la huancaina, ají de gallina and did not have room for dessert. All the dishes were delicious!! Can't wait to go back to Amsterdam and "CASA PERU". read more

I'm a bit confused. I know the last review is over 9 months old so I suspect there has been a change at the Cafe Peru. We had lunch yesterday and there was nothing on the menu that made us believe we were in a Peruvian restaurant. Maybe the Peruvian food come out at night, but the choices we were offered were solidly Dutch Lunch staples that we would expect in most places in town. If they did change management or menu then that would explain the dearth in recent reviews....other than that I don't have a clue. However: This is a solid lunch place and we were pleasantly surprised as we were not quite out of the tourist district and were expecting less than what we received. What we received was a very good lunch that satisfied the four of us with everything we ate. We ordered the: Pumpkin Soup (creamy and sumptuous) Chicken Soup (perfect for the cold windy day) Oude Kaas with mustard (to satisfy our Dutch craving) Hamburger (the Dutch tend to cook it rare but, when in Holland....) We liked our meals and thought the prices were reasonable. We will be back. read more

Looking for something to eat, walking down the street near our hotel - and Casa Peru was on a corner, seemingly beckoning us to come in...almost every table occupied, small, simple and quaint with lots of wonderful conversations going on at the tables ranging from adults on dates to families with small children. Food is prepared quickly, comes out hot and very tasty, and there's lots of selection for those who like a range of foods to those who are vegetarian. Excellent choice!! read more

Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food! Ceviche is the best I've ever had. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, food was very fresh and flavorful. read more

Super solid restaurant! Really loved the food, the ambiance and the tres leches dessert which I'm entirely still thinking about. The food is fresh and well prepared, perfectly seasoned and the staff is knowledgeable and happy. Try their white Peruvian wine, too, it's delish! A must see restaurant if you're ever in Dam! read more

Decent Peruvian restaurant, they offer a large selection of dishes with attractive description. It was hard to choose what to order :) I wanted to start the dinner with a ceviche of course, it was at 16.5 euros, which is expensive I think. Anyway, let's see if the Sea bass in "Tiger milk"is as fresh as specified in the menu. The portion is one person sized, full of onion, difficult to share. The taste is here, amertume, freshness, but I expected more sweet potato and corn. As a main dish I got the slices of Lamb, again full of onion, meat was nicely cooked. Not a plate I would remember forever. The presentation is not appealing but the taste were there and I was almost full I could not finish. I kept some space for the dessert anyway. I was surprised about the prices (8.5 euros). But again, the description of dessert promised a good experience. I tried the traditional Tres Leches cake. Surely the best part of my meal! Service was nice but not as fast as you expect. Smiling and polite, it is a great place and I loved the setting. Prices tends to be high, but if you can allow between 40/50 euros for the dinner, it is a place you should consider when in Amsterdam. read more

A tasty lunch outside on the canal. The staff was friendly and timely. The steak sandwich was very tasty and tender with dark, tangy sauce. It included of steak, onions, tomatoes and cilantro. For 9.50E The chicken noodle soup was full of flavorful spices, nice. It consists of broth, chicken, potatos, carrots and vermicilli. Small portions for 9.50E. read more

Sit outside on a nice day and you can add a star to this dining experience. Overall I would say the flavours were good but the temperature and textures of the dishes were very off. The nests were a but tough. I ordered the braised lamb and the meat was chewy and a bit too salty. They could have done the dish a favour by adding a slaw or salad to balance the dish instead of beans and yucca. read more

We came here for our NYE dinner with a friend from Peru who really wanted a taste of home in Amsterdam and as big fans of ceviche and mariscas- this was no problem for us. I never write reviews but I'm so disappointed with the food and service that I feel the duty to warn other potential patrons NOT to come to this sorry excuse for a restaurant. To begin, the prices on the menu are absolutely outrageous- even for Amsterdam standards. I believe the cheapest entree was 17.50. This in itself would be okay if the value matched the price. However not only were the prices high, but the portions were McDonald's Happy Meal Sized. It is completely cheap and unethical to charge upwards of 20 euros per Entree and then deliver tiny portion sizes (see picture). Furthermore, not only were the prices unreasonable, but the food was overly salted and drenched in sauce. The meat used in the Lomo Saltado resembled microwave meat from Aldi and was completely tasteless. Moreover, they did not even have two basic Peruvian drinks: Inca Cola and Chicha Morada! In addition, the waiter was completely inattentive and brought our meal out (for four people) separately. All in all, don't waste your time and money here. I completely understand that restaurants up-charge to survive but this is downright cheating people out of their money. read more

My Dutch wife was here 20 years ago when this restaurant first opened. It's one block away from Leidseplein where mediocre food rules. We happend to stop by on their 20th anniversary. We sat outside and enjoyed fabulous food, excellent service and great atmosphere. read more

this is an old Amsterdam favorite, whether eating at a table beside the canal on a nice day or inside by candlelight on a cold evening. start with a Peruvian tea, it must use either huacalta or black mint leaves just sitting in hot water. simple, but some of the best I've had, great with honey. after that, any dish is a good choice, really. read more

We enjoyed it all!! Such delicious food! A must must stop!! Wonderful !!! Everything we ate was outstanding! Come early and beat the rush :) read more

Cozy and inviting. Food was excellent. Ceviche was to die for. Good friendly service. Outdoor seating.

Great patio on the canal and bridge overlooking the sites. Cold beer and secondary service. I'd return again for a cold beer on a beautiful day to people watch. read more

Visiting from the US....Peruvian descent....checked out this restaurant and was impressed with the food. We ordered papa a la huancaina as an appetizer and the following as our main dishes: aji de gallina, lomo saltado, and a fish dish we forgot what it is called. All the plates were above average. Prices were on the high end, but expected. The service could've been a little better as far as getting greeted as soon as we walked in, asking if we were doing well. There were two other tables being served while we were there. I'd come back for sure. read more

Visiting Amsterdam on a business trip and went to Casa Peru since it was recommended by a local. We really enjoyed the combo appetizer - and I had the shrimp and rice "mariscos con Arroz". I also liked the Chilean sauvignon blanc wine. Service a bit slow but the food was served hot and delicious. read more

Disappointing experience in Amsterdam. On vacation and wanted to eat authentic Peruvian food. This is by far not authentic and right off the start our waiter came and took our drinks and was hesitant to provide a cup of ice to all of us. I went to request ice from the bar and the bartender/cashier grabs the ice with his hands and puts it in the glass. The menu and prices were exorbitant for the quality of the food and portions. Ceviche was terrible, stay away from it!!! All I could taste was sour lime and fish, no spices whatsoever. Appetizer cheese stick was horrible because it was cheese sticks wrapped in a egg roll, description written wrong. Chi cha morada was a joke, it was from a package with squeezed lemon juice in it. The big issue here: tasteless! Don't mind paying the price for delicious food, but this was not worth it! read more

We went for the restaurant week. Very bad service, very bad food, very expensive. I wrote a bad review an the restaurant manager called me to insult me in a very rude way. A disaster. Alex Azablal read more

Excellent example of Peruvian cuisine, great taste and variety. Brings back memories of my 18 yrs in South America, worth a visit with friends. Choose a mixture of entrees so you can taste widely. Did not disappoint. read more
