Everything about this Peruvian restaurant is excellent. The food is incredibly delicious, and the ingredients are obviously very fresh. I especially recommend the octopus tentacle appetizer—the grilled octopus is wonderfully flavorful. The two rice-based main courses are also a must-try. The seafood curry rice features exceptionally fresh ingredients, while the lamb shank rice is outstanding—the meat is so tender that it practically falls off the bone with just a slight touch of the knife. I would definitely come back if I have the chance!

Lovely little spot in Cabbage Town! The food here is absolutely incredible with a lively array of different flavours from sweet and sour to savory and elevated. We had the tuna ceviche, citrus salsa mussels, lamb chops, and duck leg on cilantro risotto. Not a single miss and this was our second time here. The restaurant is a cute older building as well that has changed owners a few times in the last 5 years. We hope Pisac stays, as they have yet to disappoint us with their fantastic menu and friendly service. We'll be back!!!

This place has an amazing vibe. I like the seating at the back and the music is lively but not too loud. I ordered the Aji De Pollo which was very flavorful. The Chicha Morada drink was also so refreshing. Our host was also friendly without hovering over anyone. Highly recommended!

As a person growing up in Asia, I never had the opportunity to experience Peruvian cuisine. The server was very considerate and patient in explaining the menu to us. I enjoyed the taste of the food, even though it wasn't part of my usual diet. My friend ordered a drink, but she found it too sweet. The server/bartender immediately remade another one to accommodate my friend's taste. This experience widened my horizons about the global cuisine scene. I would recommend this place, whether you are new to or familiar with Peruvian food.

I'm visiting from Winnipeg and couldn't go home without visiting this place for the second time. I had the carretilla ceviche and it was delicious. I would also recommend the lomo saltado, uffff. Can't way to come back!

10/10 – A Truly Authentic Peruvian Experience! We came here as a group of eight, and they were able to seat us right away — a great start! The food was unbelievably delicious — fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. I couldn’t resist ordering two passion fruit pisco sours because they were just that good! We shared about four appetizers, and the standout was definitely the anticuchos — an absolute must-try. For my main dish, I had the lamb shank (seco de cordero) — so tender it was falling off the bone. My husband ordered the “ceviche carretillero”, which had the perfect level of spiciness. Honestly, everyone at the table loved every single dish and drink we ordered. We capped off the meal with a torta de alfajor, and you could tell the manjar was truly traditional and homemade — a perfect sweet ending. The staff and atmosphere were incredible, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. On top of all that, the prices were surprisingly reasonable given the top-notch quality of the food. We’re already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommend — an authentic Peruvian gem in Toronto!

First time trying Peruvian food, but I’ve ordered ceviche from other different types of restaurants before. The ceviche at this restaurant tasted super fresh, with a strong tangy lime flavor. I also tried the fried seafood platter. This restaurant offers variety of seafood dishes.

Highly recommended! Great quality food and authentic, as confirmed by my brother's girlfriend - who is Peruvian :) The chicha morada was excellent. The host was also very accommodating! We were a group of 6 people (51 child).
