Highly rated Peruvian food at Montclair downtown so I decided to give a try. The food is wonderful!!! It's a small place (5-6 tables) so it's better you go early or make a reservation. Parking is tricky since it's at downtown area (meter street parking at paid parking lot). Grilled octopus is really tender and flavorful, the sauce on top brings it to another level. Calamari is not the best, I feel it's cold. It's very small , all I can taste is the fried batch. I don't recommend. Arrozo Con Marisico is a must try. Basically rice soaked in seafood broth, very flavorful and soft. It comes with variety of seafood in there. Perfect portion for me. The staff is nice and attentive. Homey decorations. Clean. Definitely give a try when you are at the neighborhood. read more

We picked this Peruvian restaurant for lunch on a Sunday. Street parking around the restaurant was hard to find, but luckily we got a spot in the municipal parking lot, right behind the restaurant, and on Sunday it's free. The restaurant itself was very nicely decorated, cozy vibe, got a nice bar with seats as well. Upon arrival, we got table right away, as they weren't too busy. The menu had a lot of different appetizers, tapas, Peruvian entrees, side dishes and some drinks. We ordered the crispy calamari that came with tasty sauce on the side. We also ordered the grilled octopus ceviches, was the best dish for me. Octopus was so grilled to perfection, marinated in Anticuchera sauce and topped with chimichuri. Loved every but of it. For my entree I got the Lomo Saltado, that came with well cooked steak, vegetables and rice, with some sauce in the base. The service was wonderful throughout. Our server was very attentive and checked on us frequently. The dishes came out in short intervals. Overall it was a delightful lunch experience. read more

Girllll this was the best food I've had in quite some time! I would come back just to order a bunch of different ceviches, they blew our socks off. And the Lomo Saltado was to die for. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better the brownie and tres leches were phenomenal!! Everything tasted so fresh and you can tell they really put their all into their food. Our waitress Isabel was also so lovely and attentive :) read more

Fusionista - Peruvian Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Occupying a historic renovated 1920's railroad car diner on Park Street just off Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair (previously occupied by Plum on Park then Mikki and Al's Noshery), Fusionista offers tasty, freshly-made Peruvian cuisine with Japanese, Chinese, and Korean influences in a moderate ambiance with attentive, friendly service. The menu features a range of authentic and innovative Peruvian and Japanese-influenced appetizers, entrées, and desserts. My dining companion and I started with the Charapa Ceviche ($23), featuring (uncooked) fresh fish marinated in a yellow pepper-infused 'Leche de Tigre' sauce and topped with sweet and green plantains, avocado, and a freshly-made relish of finely diced red onions, tomatoes, and Peruvian hot peppers called chalaquita criolla, which we really enjoyed. I opted for the Jalea ($26), a generous portion of breaded and deep fried white fish filet, shrimp, calamari, and mussels served alongside several pieces of fried yucca and a zesty onion and lime sauce called salsa criolla. My dining companion ordered the Salmon a la Maracuya ($32), a generous piece of grilled salmon topped with a passion fruit reduction and served with cherry tomatoes, caramelized sweet plantains, and sautéed asparagus. Both of us thought the appetizer and our entrees were made from very fresh ingredients and very tasty. The cozy space, which features a clean and modern aesthetic, only seats about 25-30 people. The servers are able to spend a lot of time with each table to explain the menu and provide their recommendations. Our server Brian, who also happens to be one of the owners of Fusionista, was excellent. He offered helpful advice on the menu and kept our water glasses topped off during our meal. PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of your favorite wine or beer from home or stop in one of the liquor stores within a few blocks on Bloomfield Avenue to enjoy with your meal. Fusionista is a BYOB establishment. PRO TIP #2: Bring cash. Fusionista has added a 3% surcharge for using credit cards to pay for your meal. PRO TIP #3: Download the ParkMobile app. You can pay for parking in Montclair via the ParkMobile app whether you park in the town's garages or metered on-street parking. Parking in the Fullerton Deck (located at 15 Park Street), located just across the street from Fusionista, is free after 7pm. If you've got a full-size pickup truck or SUV (or perhaps even a midsize vehicle), don't park in the Fullerton Deck. The ramps between the garage's levels are very tight and there is plenty of evidence on the concrete wall demonstrating the many folks that have tried and failed to navigate the tight turns. read more

Small cozy restaurant with an enclosed outdoor seating area. Service was ok. The waitress was attentive, The ceviche mixto was good. The purple drink was similar to Caribbean sorrel, and decent. The seafood rice was salty and taste like the ocean. The salmon was well seasoned, the asparagus was freezing cold and they only gave two pieces, the plantain was unseasoned but good. Overall, this place is overpriced and not that great. read more

Fusionista is a modern, Peruvian restaurant. Small, quaint restaurant with friendly staff and food to be served in various colors and flavors. We had a few tapas which stretched out to make us so full, I almost forgot our entrée didn't come out yet. One of the tapas, the calamari one, was light and crisp to perfection. It was paired with a few pieces of Arugula to make it go well together. It was the first time I didn't see calamari not served with sauce on the side. However, delicious as it was. All our dishes were served fresh. My gnocchi wad housemade, very filling with the few pieces of shrimp, heavy cream and sprinkled with parmesan. Many Llamas on the walls in Fusionista. How can you not smile? Colors were vibrant and welcoming. Thank you to the friendly staff. All payments were accepted. Parking maybe tricky outside, continue reading the signs. read more

Fusionista is in a small, cute diner in downtown Montclair. Seating is comfortable and surroundings attractive. The waitresses were helpful and considerate. And if we only had the Classic Cerviche, which we shared, things would be fine. Or perhaps we would have ordered more appetizers and tapas, which I saw many other diners do, things would have been good. But we ordered entrees. I ordered Arroz Chaufa, which I've had elsewhere. It's a version of fried rice with specific Peruvian spices. It wasn't bad, but it was boring and not as vibrant and fresh as I've had. It would have been a 3 out of 5. My friend ordered the Mascado a lo Macho. It was inedible. The breaded fish filet was dry, the sauce very salty, the shrimp was tasteless. My friend ended up sending it back. I've eaten dinner with her for many years, she's never sent back a meal. The staff was accommodating. She ordered another Classic Cerviche and they knocked off the returned entree off the check. This is simply unsatisfactory. Nothing this substandard should leave a kitchen. I thought about going back and trying the tapas and appetizers, but I realized I really had no interest given how bad this meal was for my friend. Plus the Arroz was mediocre. And well not wildly expensive, it's certainly wasn't an inexpensive meal either. Two stars because the waitresses were lovely and the Cerviche was fine. Simply can't recommend. read more

I looked for pictures of the salmon. I had never had fish with a passionfruit reduction, so I was intrigued. It pairs well with the asparagus and sweet plantains. Hefty amount of plantain, skimpy on everything else. I was disappointed with the portion size and the salmon was overcooked with burned skin. I think they might give you more food when dining in as opposed to takeout. They also charge a merchant fee for takeout, so I recommend ordering pickup through uber eats as opposed to takeout if you want to save a few bucks. I would not even have noticed that if I didn't find the restaurant on uber eats first. read more

In the area and wanted to try something new! Our server was Jhosimar was welcoming and helped us choose some pretty tasty dishes. The restaurant has a fun laid back vibe in a cozy train car-sized space. Our Aji de Gallina Croquette had a good depth of spices and it was seasoned well, not to mention a very generous portion for some Tapas. The flavors were amazing on the octopus and Lomo Saltado. The octopus was perfectly cooked and sat on an elegant yuca mash. The food was a flavorful, modern take on some Peruvian or Peruvian-inspired classics. read more

tasty food! loved the lomo, only thing was the lomo with rice had the tiniest bit of rice. for the time, this is fine since my bf is in a low carb phase, but normally would be upset with the amount of rice. for the lomo linguine the pasta was suuuuper cheesy. like almost kraft mac and cheese kind of cheesy. this wasn't a problem for me since I like that flavor and cheesiness, but that might not be the case for others. the ceviche was delicious and pretty big- good enough to share between 2. the inside was interesting with little peruvian decorations. railroad style sort of restaurant, I could guess that it might have been a diner in the past. i'd return to try more food! read more

A group of us were visiting Montclair for a work trip and ate here on our first night. We made a reversion and were sat early but it took a little while for our order to be taken (which is the reason it's 4 stars not 5). It's an intimate space and everything we ordered to eat were both healthy portions and delicious. I had the ceviche which was the first time I had fried calamari on it as well as the grilled octopus which was smokey and tender. We recommended colleagues go there too and they said they enjoyed it. read more

I cannot overstate how insanely good this place was. All winners, no whammies. Croquettes and Ceviche Mixta and the Tres Leches cake were my personal favorites, but the Peruvian mixed rice, the Yucca fries, the plantains, every single thing was incredibly delicious. I'm so excited to come back. Our server Justin was so so on top of everything. He was attentive, helpful with rearranging seats, super friendly, timely, just about everything you could ask for. Otherwise ambiance is a nice clean but cute setting, with little alpacas all over. Seems like it was an old diner prefab traincar? read more

Back again. Atmosphere was great. They always have the best service. Everyone is so nice and attentive. I ordered the same dish I had last time. The steak was over salted unfortunately but the tagliatelle was perfection. And that Ceviché! They can do no wrong on that. read more

Fusionista - Classic Ceviche - Peruvian Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

I'm honestly a little surprised at how high the reviews are for this place; maybe we just had an uncharacteristic experience, but my gut says this is a slightly inflated rating based on the Montclair food curve and the novelty/uniqueness of the dishes offered. I came here with my chum two Saturdays ago for lunch. It was empty when we first arrived but filled up pretty dramatically throughout the meal. The vibe is weird; the building very clearly housed a small diner here before, and there probably wasn't a lot they could do about the interior because of it. (And to be clear - that's a tough spot for them. I'm sure it's not easy to grab commercial real estate in Montclair these days, but because this was the spot they picked, they're kind of pigeonholed in some respects). Since Fusionista is putting itself out there as a higher-end restaurant than a diner, it's an odd look. And the minute more than two dining parties were in there, it felt pretty cramped. I did love the llama décor though; the vast majority of art on the wall and a few other accessories highlight them. Fun theme at least but this space just feels off and not very comfortable. Both of us loved the beverage situation. We thought the Chicha Morada sounded interesting and gave it a shot, which was the right call. Very refreshing with a lot of perfectly paired ingredients. It was a gamble to get a full-on pitcher but we came pretty close to demolishing it. Huge highlight and hit the spot. We were pretty hungry but the entrees looked insanely filling so we opted to hang out in the tapas/apps area. Even then, these dishes were gigantic so I can't even imagine what the main courses looked like. We split three apps, which was still way too much - two might have been pushing it. We got the Aji de Gallina Croquette, Yuca a la Huancaina and the Causa de Pollo. The Croquette was my favorite. Very tasty with good flavoring and decent moistness within. The Yuca (essentially edgy thick French fries) were good and we kept munching on them, but the sauce cooled very quickly (or was cool to begin with - we couldn't decide) and lost some points for me there. The obvious Americanized comp is cheese fries, which I don't think I'd particularly enjoy if the cheese sauce was nippy. Debatable though at least. The Yuca itself were cooked well and not soggy despite being mostly covered in a sauce. Not an insult, but it feels like something I would have loved to have eaten in college circa 2AM. The Causa de Pollo for me was the low point. The description on the menu indicated same had avocado but it wasn't evident to me based on appearance, and I didn't like the consistency of the dish or the taste. The potatoes were much softer and the mayonnaise was much heavier than I was expecting. But all of that can be attributed to personal preference - I'm sure there are plenty of people into this but it gave off too much of an egg salad situation for me. The service was pretty uneven. Our waiter was VERY nice and friendly; top marks in that regard. My chum mentioned it several times throughout our meal. But once we had our food, he disappeared and was very difficult to hail down. Some of that can be attributed to the additional patrons that had stopped by in the interim, but getting the check was a process and he seemed to get easily distracted on his way back to our table. Not a huge deal, and we weren't in a time crunch. This wasn't a bad meal by any stretch, but when the best item you had was the beverage (and it wasn't a cocktail)? Eh. read more

Great experience! I went here for my friend's birthday dinner and the food was delicious! We had calamari as an appetizer, which was very good. Can't go wrong with it. Service was good, especially for a large party. Place was cozy & I enjoyed the alpaca photos. I had the Pescado a lo Macho, which was very tasty and creamy. I enjoyed the fried white fish, clams, and calamari. I didn't find the dish spicy at all! read more

***-- When It's Good, It's Great... But When It's Not? Oof. So, let's talk about Fusionista. It's one of those places where you walk in thinking, "This is cute," but by the end, you're asking yourself, "Was it though?" It's not the kind of spot you bring the whole crew--more of a "Let's grab something quick after shopping" vibe. Also, it's BYOB, so don't show up expecting cocktails--unless you brought your own, in which case, bless your planning skills. Now, about the food... It was definitely a rollercoaster. I ordered the steak and pesto pasta, and honey, that dish was on the struggle bus. The pasta was a bright green--so you'd think it would be bursting with flavor, right? Wrong. It tasted like someone rinsed noodles in food coloring and called it a day. And my steak? Undercooked. Now listen, I always order my steak medium, but this one was still mooing. It was seasoned well, so at least there's that, but the connective tissue situation? Y'all. I felt like I was gnawing on rubber bands. Flavorful? Yes. Edible? Not so much. Now, my husband's experience was a whole other story. He ordered a ceviche and some seafood-based rice, and y'all, I swear, it was like his food came from an entirely different kitchen. The flavors? On point. The presentation? Gorgeous. I was sitting there looking at my sad green pasta, wondering what I did to deserve this betrayal. Customer service started off great--super friendly, very attentive. But then there was a shift change, and babyyyy, it went from five stars to no stars real quick. It was like they forgot we existed. If you're planning to visit, here's my advice: Keep it simple and ask questions. Like, "Hey, what do y'all actually eat here?"--because if you order the wrong thing, it's game over. But if you hit the jackpot, you'll walk away thinking this place is a hidden gem. It's just not the kind of spot where you can order anything and expect greatness. Would I go back? Eh...maybe for the ceviche. But I'll be sticking to whatever my husband orders next time. Lesson learned. read more

Solid quality and delightful execution The food is just rich in flavor as it is in variety and color. Visually appealing and tummy pleasing We came here for a quiet birthday dinner on a Thursday early evening, ordered a pitcher of the signature juice (added some red wine) a bunch of apps and 3 entrees all to share. (4 adults 2 kids) with plenty to share. Apps were delightful and calamari was perfectly crispy without much oil and batter. Light and yummy. Ceviche was SO YUM and plentiful in portions. The tagliatelle dish was yummy, maybe just one downfall was the steak being a tinge chewy could've been cooked a bit longer. The monkfish curry was SOO good and a perfect blend of textures and flavors. Juice was pretty sweet so would recommend ice or adding some liquor :) Staff was friendly and accommodating and the space itself was like stepping into a little hideout just waiting to be discovered. Enjoyed this gem of a restaurant and would definitely come back. read more

Fusionista - Arroz con Mariscos Rice served with mussels, calamari and shrimp - Peruvian Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Ordered: Chicha Morada Glass (~$5): made from purple corn, fresh pineapple, cinnamon, homemade sugar jarabe and a touch of lime juice Passionfruit Pitcher (~$10): made from fresh passionfruit and homemade sugar jarabe Ceviche Mixto (~$28) Lomo Saltado (~$27): marinated steak stir-fried with red onions, cilantro, tomatoes and golden fried potatoes, served with white rice Arroz con Mariscos (~$30): with fresh mussels, calamari and prawns Aya's take: I love Peruvian food and had no idea this place existed in Montclair! We had a reservation although it wasn't really needed. We started off with the juices; the Passionfruit juice was sweet, tart, and tropical while the Chicha Morada was very mild from the purple corn and spiced from the cinnamon. I think the Chicha Morada is more of an acquired taste but the Passionfruit was more familiar and refreshing! The Ceviche Mixto was one of their specials; it was super fresh, citrusy, and loaded with various seafood. It was a bit pricy for a ceviche but considering how much we enjoyed it, I'm not that mad about it. I'm a big fan of Lomo Saltado but this one fell a little short for me. The meat was a bit tough, the marinade was extremely salty, and the portion of rice was so small compared to the rest of the plate. I was hoping I can use the rice to soak up some of that salty marinade but there wasn't enough. The fried potatoes weren't crispy either. The Arroz con Mariscos was filled with a bunch of seafood and the rice was cooked really well! The rice was well-seasoned and very satisfying. If you're looking for some Peruvian food in the area, give Fusionista a try! read more

I can not speak highly about this place enough. I have walked past this cute, petite, train car looking diner spot hundreds of times. My friend suggested it for lunch, and i was impressed from the moment i walked in. The decor, overall design, and service was topnotch. unlike my other reviews, id like to convince you to please get the chicha morada cheesecake. this is a must get. its not too sweet like the drink, if anything i felt it was refreshing. oh, and its incredibly photogenic. their Charapa Ceviche is a must get. its not your classic ceviche, but the influence is there. its gentle, a hint of heat and the citrus comes through. i had the Duo Inca as an entree and it was the perfect snack. the chicken wasnt dry. it had a lot of flavor too. i would come back in a heart beat. BYOB. read more

Amazing all around! Delicious flavor in every dish. Will absolutely return soon. Thank you

This teeny new Peruvian fusion spot is a total gem. In a town teeming with so many different dining options, Fusionista manages to be unique both in flavors of atmosphere. The digs are clean, the room is nicely lit and the small dining area has a nice vibe, especially for a BYO. On a Saturday night, it was nice to see the place quite crowded by 7:30. The servers are lovely and it is clear how much pride they take in making this new restaurant a success. In terms of the food, the ceviches are definitively the star. We had the classic and the charapa. The classic was bright, nice acid and totally refreshing. The charapa was a bit richer and had a spicy kick which was just perfectly balanced. They were both beautifully presented. My friend and I split the Lomo Saltado and the Arros con Mariscos. Both entrees were tasty. I preferred the flavor of the Lomo but the execution of the seafood rice dish. The steak was well seasoned but just a bit chewy. The big surprise was the dessert! Not to be missed. We had initially selected the coffee panna cotta but it turned out that the flavor that day was passion fruit. So we opted for their version of a cheesecake with passion fruit. Oh my!!! Stunning... the menu description didn't exactly sound enticing, but we really enjoyed it. It's incredibly well done both in terms of flavor profile and presentation. Do not skip!!! I just loved how this place is the best combo of a casual hole in the wall and refined creative fusion food. Will definitely come back. read more

Five stars for elevated fusion of Peruvian / Italian cuisine in the heart of Montclair. Saturday lunch for 4 and we loved everything we ordered. Apps/ tapas (from the tapas menu except for the ceviche) *Classic ceviche- tart and just the right amount of tang, our fish was sliced thin and grouped into little mounds, not in cubes as I usually get in other Peruvian restos. Garnished with sweet potato, fried seaweed for some crunch, and Peruvian corn. Will get again and try the other ceviches. *Mussels- steamed and garnished with yellow sauce, pickled onions and lime. Just the right amount of punch. *calamari- fresh and not at all chewy. Not greasy and came with yellow chipotle sauce. *chicharones- a slight crunch on the outside and soft and chewy. Green sauce on the bottom, pickled onions on the side and also with sweet potato chips. A simple yet gratifying dish. Meals: Steak with mushroom risotto- steak was done medium and seasoned well! Risotto was perfectly cooked and creamy with a strong mushroom taste- loved this dish! Lomo saltado- broiled just right with all the trimmings and came with a side of white rice. Dessert: * chica Miranda cheesecake - cheesecake is rich yet delicate at the same time, topped with passionfruit and purple corn. Cookie crumbs were a bit on the thick side but I didn't mind, may be a slightly milder crust would have been better but we enjoyed it nonetheless. *Arroz con leche/ warm rice pudding - looser than traditional pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle. I love simple rice pudding flavored with cinnamon, didn't taste the cinnamon in this one but still enjoyed it as well. Interior is cozy and small, clean, and modern - reminiscent of its diner predecessor, Bloom. Restroom is clean. Our server, Rodolfo, was friendly, efficient, and was helpful to recommend his favorites. Parking is across the street (parking garage) and street parking. There is a private lot right beside the resto that -- if you're lucky, a guy will be there working for the automative shop and collects $10. read more

Really good meal, service, and ambiance. We sat outside on a beautiful late summer evening. It was comfortable even though the overhead lights kept blinking like a disco. We started with the mixed ceviche which was light and yummy. They added a small slice of hot pepper that was crazy spicy. Loved it. We enjoyed the Lomo Saltado that was fresh and cooked perfectly. Maybe a few too many onions but the meat was done perfectly. Oh yeah, and the potatoes included were really delicious. Finally, we ordered a new salmon dish that was grilled over the sweetest plantains I've ever had. Covered with huge asparagi that were cooked just right. Can't miss with this place. read more

Finally had a chance for a second visit. I got the Lomo Saltado (again): did NOT disappoint! I also got a new shrimp appetizer that was on the menu (new from my previous visit). Also excellent. My GF got the Fresh Tagliatelle al Pesto and Churrasco and its (her words), "my new go-to". Fan for life! She shared some with me and the hand-made Tagliatelle was fantastic, it had the perfect amount of pesto, and the Churrasco was cooked to a perfect medium. Many thanks again to Angie and her team!

Such an amazing find! Food and flavor was great. Service was amazing. Spot looks like a cute cart and also has some outdoor seating. Stopped by on a Friday night at about 10:15 and they close at 11. Usually hate being the last people in a restaurant, but the servers were accommodating and welcoming. Asked about close time and told us not to worry and enjoy our meal. Their response didn't seem like they were just being kind or understanding, but genuinely asking us to stay. Had the chicharrón as a starter...so much flavor and so good! Crispy yet juicy. Actually my review for all of their meat dishes. Did take like elevated Peruvian food which is by far my favorite cuisine. I generally don't like sweet potatoes but the chips were amazing. Arroz chaufa is a must. We went with chicken and it was amazing. BYOB is always my favorite. And some rice pudding to go because I didn't want to overstay my welcome. So delicious! Will definitely be back. read more
