Augusto Al Gusto - Montreal, Quebec

I've been to this place years ago, it was great. So we went last night and the short short version; The waitress yelled across the restaurant at us to never come back. If you speak English I guess you're not a worthy customer. We walked in at 630 and sat down, there ... were two other tables for a total of 10 people. I counted because it took the waitress 10 minutes to bring us menus. We ordered in English and the waitress repeated everything we said in french. We asked questions and she responded in French. In my experince the staff will either politely say they can't speak English or do literally anything to try to accommodate, but not this time. I ordered the ceviche. They served it to me in a Sunday cone glass, avocado on the bottom ceviche on top. No plate, no utensils, no napkin. I took it as a hint. I had to ask for a plate, then utensils and a fork when they only returned with a plate. It was pathetically pedantic. Every time my request was repeated back to me in e—nun-ci-ated French like I was a child. They tired to bus our plates as we were eating off of them, twice. The churros that came with the table d'hôte were undercooked. We were there for 90 minutes, during which two other couples entered the restaurant. If they were busy that's understandable, but when the waitress spends the majority of the time on her phone at the cash ignoring the restaurant I'm liable to believe they just don't care. I did not tip and the waitress literally yelled at us across the restaurant to never come back ever, that we were banned. I didn't make it home before I started throwing up. I did make it home just in time for the rest of the food poisoning to occur. The pain felt like gastro. Maybe it was a coincidence, but i can't help but think it wasn't. The two people I was with had chicken and they did not share my symptoms. If you enjoy cumin being the only spice in everything (including the soup) and you like people treating you like a 2nd class citizen, i suggest this place. If you want to vomit in public get the ceviche. Read more

This was only my first or second time there, and I had a pleasant experience. I found the staff very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The waiter was able to answer my questions about the sides served with the grilled meats. I ended up having the salmon salad, and it ... was delicious. The salmon was grilled to perfection, and the vegetables in the salad tasted fresh. I was pleasantly surprised with the provided dressing as well: spicy, yet flavourful. My glass of water was also regularly refilled without me having to ask, which is always a plus. All in all, it was a positive experience. I would go back, either by myself with a book, or with a few friends. Read more

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with this restaurant. If you like Peruvian cuisine I would avoid this place. The peruvian ceviche was not really peruvian, there was no peruvian ajis (rocoto). The sea food platter was ok but not great, the only thing that was ok was the chaufa and ... chicken. I am putting 2 stars because the service was ok. Read more

So delicious. Wonderful service, wonderful friendly staff. Good price. One of the best Peruvian Cuisine I had in a longtime in Montreal. Fajita de camarones and the paella is a MUST TRY! I’ll be back...Again!

Surprisingly good. Beef with fries dish was great. Perfectly cooked beef, and tasty sauce. Delicious onions and tomatoes. The wife had the fried rice and chicken was good. The calamari small is a good sized starter. Friendly server. Quick service. Will come again. Oh yes empanada was made fresh, dough ... and all. Read more
