Tucked into the heart of the Saint Saveur neighborhood this gem boasts flavorful cocktails, fresh ceviche & stunning steak! Restaurant Lima, is a cozy bar & restaurant perfect for families, friends & couples. My wife, my teenaged daughter & I dined here & it felt like home. Our server Dorthee was fluent in English & French, so friendly & as energetic. We watched as she worked the room, mixed cocktails & took orders, she set the tone for the evening. We had octopus with purple mayo & beef empanada to start, my wife had one of their signature cocktails & none of them disappointed. The flavors were bright, tropical & savory. The octopus appetizer was fresh, light & flavorful, the olive oil mayo kept the taste light & it was brightened by a spritz of citrus. The empanada was crisp & airy & served hot out of the oven. For the main course we had the sea food risotto & our daughter had the steak strips & fries. The risotto featured all kinds of fresh seafood as described in the menu, topped with ceviche white fish & it was everything we hoped for & more, the flavors were fresh & lively! The steak & fries (a Peruvian specialty) was so savory & they chargrilled the tomatoes to perfection, it all melted in your mouth. The vibe was as vibrant as this up & coming neighborhood, as mentioned above it seemed like a local gathering place for couples, friends & families. All in all Restaurant bar Lima, is your cozy kick back in the heart of Saint Saveur, staff is friendly & energetic & the food is outstanding! We will definitely visit again.
Everything about this restaurant was perfect. The food, the service, the vibe, all of it. I got the lomo saltado for my meal & it was just like I was in Peru. Then I got the churros for dessert & the outside was crunchy & the inside doughy, just like it should be. The server, Sebastian, was very attentive & friendly. & the atmosphere felt upscale without sacrificing any authenticity. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!
