    Beef heart appetizer
    Elaine K.

    How have a lived so close to this place and never gone?! What a dummy! I came here with a half dozen friends. We each picked a dish off the menu (no easy feat) and shared everything. Everything was amazing: balanced flavours, good texture, excellent use of spices. The beef hearts made us all groan in joy. They were cooked medium rare and had a fantastic bite to them. The baby goat stew was meaty, and addictive. We considered ordering another. The paella was the best I've ever had. The rice was cooked PERFECTLY and the fish melted in your mouth. The steak was more well done than I like, but the crusty char more than made up for it. We also had a mixed meat platter with ribs, chorizo and lamb. Scrumptious. The hot sauces that accompanied the meal were out of this world. One was blended with parsley or coriander. I could have drank it from a glass. The ambiance is also wonderful. The staff is warm and the decor makes you feel like you are in another part of the world. Peru maybe, I don't know. I've never been there. This is my new favourite spot in the neighbourhood. Standing ovation.

    We were driving on St. Clair West and randomly found this restaurant as many were not open on a Monday night. The first impression was that the place looked closed, despite the only couple sitting at the entrance. Barely any lights were on in the restaurant and no one greeted us upon entering. We sat down and found the prices to be a little higher than expected. Nice salsa music was playing in the background and we eventually agreed on the baby goat and grilled salmon. The servings were huge and impressive (we both needed take out containers). The baby goat was a stew but it came on a plate that made it a bit difficult to eat especially without a spoon for the sauce. The sauce was very flavourful however one side of the goat felt a bit chewy. The grilled salmon was done to perfection with a nice flakiness to the meat and crispy outer layer. The dill sauce was delish! A flavour that I've never had before, a nice tangy sweetness to the salmon. The grilled vegetables were a nice touch to the dish. The food was worth stopping for, but the ambiance was a bit lacking with the cold air, lack of lighting and not the cleanest bathrooms for a more fancy place. They did try to set the mood with slower romantic music after seeing we were the only couple in the restaurant.

    One of my favorite places to eat when I'm in Toronto. A mom and pop shop with great flavors and freshly made food everyday! Everything I order here is amazing from their cow's heart, ceviche, to their seafood paella! Their lemon veal is to die for! If you want great authentic food and great service, this place is a must!

    Best decision of my recent trip to Toronto was to visit El Inka. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon…read morejust around 1:30pm. The restaurant was not busy at all, which for me was perfect. I was dining solo, and just really wanted to experience some good Peruvian food that I haven't had in a long time. I ordered from the lunch menu and opted for two lunches - gluttonous I know - but I wanted to try the Ceviche de pescado and the Aji de Gallina. I asked about Chicha Morada to drink, but it hadn't been prepared yet, so I had maracuja juice (passion fruit). First of all, the ceviche was outstanding! It's a simple tilapia, but it was so perfectly prepared. I loved the little sweet potato garnish, and the tangy flavor was spot on. I felt like I was eating the ceviche I had back when I was in Peru. The server also brought a small dish of Peruvian corn (crunchy corn kernels) with my drink while I waited for the entrees to come out. These were perfect little snackers! The Aji de Gallina came next and it was also exactly like the homemade aji de gallina I had at the home I stayed at while in Peru. It was so reminiscent of homecooked food, and it was exactly what I wanted. Of course, I couldn't finish it all, and my server boxed it up for me to take home. Speaking of my server - a HUGE shout out to Alessandra who was so kind and friendly. Since the restaurant was relatively empty I had the opportunity to chat with her more than I might normally chat with a server. I ended up showing her photos from when I was in Peru and about being in Toronto for the day. I was just very excited to find authenitc Peruvian food since it's not something easily accessible here in my city. Alessandra was a delight, and she even sent me home with some extra Peruvian corn for a snack which I happily ate on my train ride home the next day. She definitely didn't have to do that! I really hope that I get a chance to visit this restaurant again! Also, as an American, the prices were really good. I spent only $34 USD for two entrees - so if in a normal situation when I wasn't over eating, I could easily have had a $18-20 lunch that was filling and delicious.

    Got the chance to try Peruvian food for the first time with my cousin. We first started off with…read morechicha moradas. The drink was sweet, had the taste of cinnamon, and reminded me of kompot. I was also so surprised to find out that it was made from a special kind of corn because I would've never guessed. Overall, I thought the drink was very yummy and we each ended up ordering two of them. For the appetizer, we got the anticuchos. The meat was super tender and it was served with this sweet and creamy sauce. It was almost mustard like and it complimented the meat very well. For the main, I got the Tallarin Huancaina con Lomo, which is a fettuccine pasta made with huancaina cream, served with tomato's, red onions, gravy, and cilantro. The dish was nice and creamy, and I thought the tomato's and onions were a great addition, as they're not typically served in creamy Italian pastas. The meat was once again super tender :) The service was very quick, and the ambiance of the restaurant was very warm and friendly. I was at the restaurant at around 7:00 on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant and Peruvian food in general. I'll be looking to try more Peruvian and Latin American spots.

    We came here as a group of 10 on a Sunday evening and had a fantastic experience…read more My partner and I shared: - Alitas de Pollo (nice balance of dry and saucy, slightly spicy wings) - Ceviche Carretillero (my least favourite dish of the night as it was a little too sour, and the fried calamari was an interesting topping admist this raw dish. The sweet potatoes surprisingly worked well though) - Parihuela (not as well-rounded as a French bouillabaisse, but still delicious with a variety of seafood) - Chicha Morada (delicious purple corn drink) Portions were pretty large, so I'd recommend ordering family style to try a few different dishes. Food was not a 5/5 for me, but service was above and beyond. Upon arrival, we had given the staff a cake to serve after our meal for a friend's birthday. We had the candles in our bag, and were planning on pulling them out when we were done our entrees. The owner, assuming that we hadn't brought our own candles, went out and bought candles for the cake during our meal. We were stunned when we found out! They then portioned out the cake perfectly after we sang happy birthday. We also didn't realise we had stayed 30 minutes past their 9pm closing time, and they never nudged us to leave. It seemed like it was the owner and his father running the restaurant, and I felt very well taken care of. I'm already looking forward to returning to Pisac in the near future.

    Came here with some friends after a trip to Peru. The food definitely brought us back, especially…read morethe chicha morada! I had to lomo saltado which was pretty good and the beef was very tender. The desserts of the day were lucuma crème brulee and lucuma cheesecake. I found the chocolate in the cheesecake to be a bit overpowering to the lucuma taste. The flavour of creme brûlée was really really good!

I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min. Upon arriving at Brasa, the space is accessible where the cashier/food counter area is to your right. On the left there is bar seating where you could enjoy your items there. I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!
