Paracas - Toronto, Ontario

We were excited to try this after walking around Salsa Fest. We arrived just before 9pm and the place is packed but they’re able to accommodate us. The menu is nothing special but typical menu choices when you go to a peruvian restaurant. The waitress took our order but came ... back few minutes after, asking me again which beer I ordered lol; I did not notice her writing our orders to begin with. They offered us bread in a basket with 3 dippings as a starter. The table has a vase with real chrysanthemum but some small insects flying around the vase that we have to put in on the side. 30 minuted later no one checked in on us and 45 minutes later, we asked the guy how long our food will be served and he said “few more minutes” as they were busy but he will check the kitchen if they’re preparing it or not. A minute or two later, he said they food is not being prepared yet and we just lost it and left. He said no need to worry to pay for the bottle of beer. The service in this restaurant is way below the Toronto standards, we waited almost an hour for our food only for them to realize they did not get our order. If I can give the service 0 star, I will definitely would!!! Cannot really comment about the food because we only tried the bread. I suggest not to try this restaurant if they are “busy” because your order will be missed like ours. Read more

An absolutely delicious meal in a very cozy restaurant and nice friendly chat with the owner. Tried the antichuchos, ceviche pescado, sopa de parihuela, and their pisco sour, all were amazing!! Interesting to note the owner had to close the restaurant to walk-in clients early even though there seemed to be ... empty tables still, which appears to generate negative reviews, but when asked he said it's because there's a large party at the back which demanded a lot of attention, so there weren't enough resources to run the rest of the restaurant at full capacity. So I would strongly suggest to call ahead and make sure that you have a confirmed table especially on a weekend night before going. Also, if the food takes some time to arrive, don't worry it is well worth the wait :) Read more

Paracas is a unique place with an extensive and authentic menu. We tried their ceviche of sea bass and it was served with sweet potatoes. It was delicious! We also tried their beef heart appetizer and it was good. The seafood soup was very flavourful and packed with ... all kinds of seafood. The stewed goat was tender but it could use more spices. It was a good Peruvian meal. Read more

It's a very intimate atmosphere. The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming yet when booking a reservation on the phone is very interesting- lacking of communication skills. Food here are delicious but some dish were extremely overpriced with such small portion. There were two dish they messed up and we ... didn't bother asking for more as all our orders were late also.
