CANCHITA - Peruvian Cuisine

I usually come for dinner but came for lunch this time. Ceviche Carretilla was delicious & Ceviche Carretilla (current special, red snapper) too. Tender Pulpo al Olivio (cold octopus) though I prefer the hot octopus available at dinner. The Asado Parilla (beef) was good, well balanced with avocado, salad & chips. Generous serving portion as always. Gluten free options available. Special mention of our wonderful server Angeline who impressed us with her warmth & cheerfulness, detailed food description, and who went out of her way to get disposable eyedrops for my friend who had a minor mishap with the soap dispenser in the washroom. Will return.

I really enjoyed Octopus a la Brasa. The grilled octopus is tender, fragrant and sweet. It goes so well together with the unique mix of avocado sauce, parsley mayo, fried garlic and fried quinoa. Must try this dish. Tried a few other dishes which are good but they don’t stand out as much as the octopus - Ceviche Clasico, Arroz con Mariscos, Lomo Saltado. The octopus and ceviche are Gluten Free, they have quite a good range of GF dishes. Ambience is better if you’re seated at the back of the restaurant, closer to the greeneries.
