Thanks very much for accommodating and hosting us. The dinner service ran smoothly and was very much enjoyed all around – compliments were heard especially for the wine and seafood. Credit also to Vijay, who was communicative and very easy to liaise with on the ground. Best wishes for a great holiday season ahead for you and the rest of the CANCHITA team.

I would like to thank you for a successful event. All of my guests enjoyed themselves and there were many compliments from my guests. Beyond the good food, professional service from your team, I am most grateful for your experience in running such events. Your patience, insights and advice during our planning stage gave me a lot of assurance and allowed someone inexperienced in organising such events like me, to deliver such a well-run event.

Best meal we had during our stay in Singapore!

Make sure you book a reservation — this place is incredibly popular for dinner, and for good reason. We came here on a friend’s recommendation.

I’m usually not a fan of tuna (in fact I only tolerate salmon and shrimp), but the seafood here blew me away and managed to shift my food preferences.

We tried the ceviche and several appetizers, all beautifully prepared, but the standout for me was the special tuna taco — absolutely delicious.

The highlight of the night, though, was the Lomo Saltado with Wagyu beef — hands down the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Service was also super friendly and attentive. Beautiful place. Can’t recommend this place enough!

It is more fusion peruvian food. The Chicha Morada drink was super sweet. The Lomo Saltado did not have rice. Besides that the food was good.

The food was amazing!
The octopus was eye opening.
The pork dish was so yummy!
First time trying Peruvian cuisine with a perfect host Han.
Perfect service with Han explaining almost every single dish and answering my questions...
What a great place for a perfect date.

Seafood dish is amazing here, surprised us everyone.

Pisco sours were excellent and the atmosphere was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately the food was not authentic, and lacked the real flavor of Peru. But as long as your ok with that and a little bit of Asian flavors mixed in and changes to the recipe, its fine. For example the anticuchos appeared deep fried and tasted soft like slow cooked steak. The lomo saltado, was beef steak on top of french fries in a bowl (no purple onion, no tomatoes or rice), and finally the pollo a la brasa had an asian spice flavor and was almost rubbery in texture like it was being reheated. Sorry all these things led my group to walk away with just saying it was OK.

Loved the grilled octopus and tres leches

Absolutely wonderful in every way. The service was impeccably kind and attentive, and the ambience immediately transports you to a lush rainforest. The food is genuine craftsmanship: very fresh, expertly prepared, and bursting with complex flavours and textures.

It's on the pricier side, yes, but absolutely warranted. In fact, we found the prices quite reasonable for Singapore, a city where show often outweighs substance, and where you can easily pay the same for far inferior quality.

This Peruvian restaurant at Dempsey Hill offers a delightful introduction to Peruvian cuisine with its wide variety of dishes. Even as a first-timer, I found the food incredibly delicious and surprisingly easy to enjoy. The standout for me was the ceviche — incredibly refreshing, with a burst of flavors that highlight the freshness of the seafood. The taste is beautifully balanced, with just the right amount of sourness, sweetness, and natural brininess from the seafood.

What made the experience even better was the super friendly staff. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness added a welcoming touch, making the whole dining experience not just enjoyable, but memorable. Definitely a place worth visiting again!

Loved the Aji de Galleina! The pecans were a nice touch and the sauce was so good!
