Delicious! The ceviche was fresh and tasty with big chunks of fish. The jalea was huge! Definitely a plate to share. The service was ok, a little slow but still good. Good place for families and groups.
We went to the Laval Location Finally got to try this place and it did not disappoint. The place itself is very big, 2 floors. And they also have a patio. We went Saturday night and it was full house Waitress and staff in general were very friendly They have a selection of drinks/beer/wine. This place plays Spanish music which is very nice. All the drinks we had were very good The Pina colada comes in the pineapple. We ordered a lychee martini and the best I've ever had The only down about this is that it took abitt of time to get our food but it was worth the wait because the food was delicious. Very big portion and decent prices for everything. It was so hard to choose what to get because the menu had all of kinda of Peruvian dishes. We ordered the seafood paella, the Peruvian ceviche, mussels with Safron, calamari, garlic shrimps..etc Everything was amazing other then the calamari, it was average. Would definitely recommend this place if you are willing to try food from Peru. Cannot wait to go back to try other plates of there menu. Definitely will try the meat plates they looked reply good Also this is a must if you are a big group and also for birthday parties.
Fresh and beautifully presented dishes as lovely as a sunny day by the sea are served in this authentic Peruvian restaurant. The long and diverse menu will have us coming back to try more!
I enjoyed my experience at Solymar. This is a solid location if you want to enjoy some authentic Southern American cuisine. Upon stepping in you find yourself in a pretty yet cozy and intimate setting ideal for groups/parties/birthdays and so forth. The music is dope and keeps you highly entertained as you enjoy your evening. Each table comes with a complimentary plantain and roasted corn. You can ask for sauces for extra enjoyment and they're so good and addicting I had to step away or I'd fill myself up before my meal! I went with their jalea personal (fried seafood) alongside a traditional pisco sour. Whoa mama! That pisco sour came out... and it was soooo beautiful... and they make them stroooong!! A bit too much for my taste but hey in the end I felt like I had two drinks instead of one. :) I really enjoyed the fried seafood, it was all quality stuff and tasty! I would have liked some side lemon/lime to garnish it with or maybe some sauce but I guess I'll stick to the traditional way! Big servings! For dessert I went with a plate of picarones. Never had it before and I was curious how they tasted like. They're made with squash and sweet potato and served in a doughnut form and covered with syrup made from chancaca. Anyways, I hated it. Nothing to blame the resto, just not for me haha! Pricing was quite decent for seafood and it was overall a positive experience. Service is nice but they're pretty slow. I wish they'd serve a few extra trimmings with the meal, I felt there was always something missing. For example, asking for sauce with the apps, no lemon/lime with seafood or completely disappearing once our main meal was served. I'm really not a fan of chasing my waiter.
Came here on a recommendation - it's a bit further away than we normally feel like traveling for a Sunday dinner but my friend who was visiting wanted some seafood. Outside of New Orleans I'm use to seafood always being expensive, and it wasn't cheap here per se but it was a great value. The portions are huge! My husband and I split the mixed ceviche and one of the mixed fried platters and we were completely stuffed. The ceviche was especially impressive - I loved the flavors (fresh and a little spicy) and the seafood was tender. the fried platter was a LOT of fried, so you have to be in the mood for that or split it with people. My friend got one of the mussel dishes and it came in a large bucket with fries. I can't remember which flavor she got but it was super tasty. She also got the small ceviche on the side and the portion on that was impressive as well compared to a typical restaurant's ceviche portion. I had a guanabana juice on the side and it was perfect. My favorite flavor, milky and delicious. I would definitely come back here!
Solymar, a name that used to bring joy and excitement upon hearing of this truly unique Peruvian establishment. Full of Latino vibe accompanied with good service and above all, the highlight, flawless food that's like no other. Deliciousness oozing out from eye candy presentation to really really, emphasis on "really" to incredible taste in every bite. Have that mixed seafood ceviche once here and bam! If you could dare saying something was wrong about it, chances are it's you who had some serious taste issues. Food here was top notch with reasonable prices that kept us coming back over and over. Sadly, on our last visit yesterday and after an absence of almost 3 years, my small usual group of 4, found out the king of Latino food lost his way. Everything that this place offered, seemed like still being offered and which their full house is a living proof of that. Just as it used to be in the past. Except for the wrong turn they took on the food part. What set us aback upon checking our regular food item prices was the 35% price hike. Compared to what we used to pay 3 years ago and now, we found it to be exaggerated. Cost of living adjustment on my paycheque goes up by 2-3% per year and here by about 11.5%? Not fair amigo, not fair. I can't say the hike was all across the menu because we became accustomed and selective in our choices of food here over the years so can't recall the prices of the rest of the items 7-8 years back. Besides this, I wished the issue stopped at pricing. No, it kept on going yet on another and even worse level: THE QUALITY AND TASTE! Now that is something that makes you fume. If you're going to charge extravagant prices, at least give extravagant food. We all at the table found this crucial element went down. It's fair to notice that prices went up by 35% but quality down by equally the same percentage. I am saddened to take this restaurant off my list. It used to be THE place for amazing food. Letting my anger control the stars, I was very close giving them 2 only but since I'm still in love with Peruvian food, 3 it is. My next venture would be to find out for myself the best Peruvian restaurant with best price/quality ratio. Who knows, I might get lucky at my first try and become a loyal customer for a long time and the quest stops there. Until then, if anyone reading this and not familiar with Peruvian food, you have to try, it's a must!
Last time I went to Solymar, I was a bit under the weather and unfortunately I couldn't enjoy the food. This time, believe me, I had for my money. The food is delicious, tasty and flavoured. I had a really good time for a Thursday night. It's different than what I'm used to and I'm glad we did it. Everyone is entitled to an opinion I still don't get how this place gets poor reviews.
This is probably one of the most authentic Peruvian restaurant in town. They've been here awhile and have been constant in their food and service. The wine list is good and you pay at the price of the SAQ. They will only charge you a bottle fee of 5,95$ per bottle. Not too bad if you ask me! Some might be surprised by the prices on the menu. Do not be fooled. The portions are HUGE!!! We always have leftover and end up with a meal the next day ;). The food is very well seasoned and well cooked. The only thing was the food was a on the little salty side for me. My husband thought so too but it wasn't anything that stopped us from enjoying our meal. Their papas huancaina is out of this world delicious and they do master their seafood dishes! I've never been disappointed. The service can sometimes be on the slow side but again, nothing too bad. You just have to flag them once in awhile to get their attention. Nothing against the customers, just the way it is because they are very nice and attentive ONCE you get their attention!
Very good food. Ambiance is a bit lacking. Quality price is excellent. It's a bring your own wine which is amazing. Service was great and very friendly. I would definitely go back to try other items on their menu.
Authentic cuisine from Peru. Friendly service. Suitable for big groups, birthday parties among family or friends. You need to enjoy Reggaeton music!
Food: For first time Peruvian food, I'm actually pleasantly surprised. The cerviche is excellent! So fresh and tasty, and no I did not get sick after (VERY important)! And the appetizer chips are so addictive! Service: Attentive but a little "too" much, can you please me space to enjoy my food? Price: Good food quality/price ratio Ambiance: Honestly, from outside, the place looked so shabby and once inside, it was kind of dark, I thought the building was going to fall apart. NO fancy decor here for sure, just good food.
Tried this one with a Peruvian friend who was able to confirm that the food was A-OK and the Pisco Sour cocktails quite good, enough to remind her of her native country. I liked the food and the overall ambience. The service was spotty, but quick to correct mistakes. However the main drag of this place is the painful noise level, driven by the in-house band singing Happy Birthday songs at just about every table, with wireless mikes and amplified guitars... And they can go on for two hours straight without a pause :) So, be warned: don't go there if a meaningful conversation needs to take place.

Jai bien aimé ce resto sympathique et chaleureux on y mange de généreuse portion des classiques peruvien. J'ai goûté au cerviché de poisson et aussi a l'assiette de poulet qui sont toutes 2 bien correctent. Mon coup de coeur c'est leur Pisco sour qui a une touche bien a eux. Bon service read more

So in search of MTL's best seafood this restaurant was on the list. The food was excellent, generous portions that are reasonably priced. The service was great, no complaints. The ambiance is what killed it for me. The lights are on super bright, there was 2 Bdays so there was a mariachi band that performed way too loud with bad speakers. I would recommend this place for a casual supper, definitely not for a date night. I would opt for take out if i was to go again. read more

Best place in Montreal for traditional Peruvian food. Everything is good here: Lomo saltado, ceviches, aji de gallina, mussels, papa a la huancaina, all sorts of seafood, Chupe de camarones, Jalea, etc etc etc. We were a group of people eating there after a big party the night before. I wish I had taken more pictures, but the food was so good, I was just concentrating on feasting. Literally everything on the menu is excellent. And they will serve Peruvian beer in a freezed glass, awesome to have such a cold beer. And they also have chicha mirada which is beverage made from purple corn, you cannot miss that. Their alcohol coffee (Brazilian and Spanish coffee) are excellent. There are several good Peruvian places in Montreal, specially those that kind of try to fuse it with a more modern approach, those I love them. But if you want to try a traditional one, Sol y Mar is the place to go. read more

Last summer we enjoyed a delicious dinner here so we went back this year to find we we're not disappointed. Alex, our server, was wonderful and the food was not only delicious but savory. The Jalea Solymar was an abundant portion as well as the Arroz con Mariscos. We had the Pisco Sours and they were on point! Overall, a great night out! read more

Perfect for a cocktail and some snacks; don't head here for dinner, because fish is not so fresh (especially the shrimps) and the ceviche is ok, but not as spicy as it should. Try their Pisco Sour and just enjoy calamaros fritos. read more

This restaurant is easily amongst the top 5 in Montreal in my opinion. Even though the service can be a bit slow, the food is incredibly delicious, the seafood is fresh, and well seasoned. Even the appetizers taste good! The waiter was really nice and very patient with us. I loved the environment and the musicians! Will definitely go again. read more

Really love their ceviche plate. A bit expensive but it's worth once in a while. If you love sour stuffs and seafood I'd recommend that plate. :) Staffs are usually super friendly and fast. However on one night I came there with friends where there was a group of mexican musician, we didn't expect our food to come out after almost an hour. That was the only disappointment and I think they have that festive on a certain date of the week, so make sure to call before hand if you want to have a good experience! read more
