Mochica

As a general rule of thumb family businesses just do everything better and Mochica is no exception to this rule. The food, service, ambiance and cocktails really went above and beyond my expectations. When you pass the threshold of its doors you realize instantly the difference between merely being served and the genuine art of hospitality which you will find in droves at Mochica. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening looking forward to my next visit!

Came back to this place after the first experience which we liked a lot. We ordered octopus, goat stew and Corvina as main courses. The octopus was ok, maybe too much sauce so it's soft and not like charcoal grilled taste. The goat stew was tender but way too salty although the rice and veggies tasted good. The Corvina was ok but still taste a bit fishy. Oysters are good for $1/each. The yuca fries, I've had better at the food court. The food is kinda pricy so we're very disappointed for the quality that came out!

The restaurant is very nice. Decor is unique. I don't know if it is peruvian culture but definitely south american. Wall are well painted or decorated. Music is nice. Nice vibe. Food is great. We had the occasion to taste some peruvian food or meat like the alpagas or ceviche. Services are attentive. Reservation was easy and fast. Only concern was the services. Very slow. The restaurant was not full. Less than half of the restaurant was occupied. But we waited for quite some time before we got our meal.

Our waitress was very attentive and welcoming. We had their pisco sour and took advantge of their 2 for 1 happy hour offer. For appetizers we had the tiradito which had flavors of passion fruit and the crab causa that was glazed with huancayna sauce. I had the Lomo saltado which was made with a very tender meat and Oscar had the Arroz con Mariscos that had octopus, squid, shrimp and mussels. Both dishes were very well seasoned. Overall a great experience, the place is visually appealing and the food was delicious.

We went here for the very first time and we were blown away with how good the food is. It was also my first time having Peruvian food which was spectacular. The staff was very friendly and helped whenever we had a question about one of the dishes. I suggest making a reservation as the place got busy around 19:00. The staff spoke English and French. Next time I'm in Montreal I'll definitely keep this place in mind.
