The soul of Peru on one of Perth’s most enduring eat streets.
Peruvian breakfast is perhaps a niche ask in Perth, but this lively Leederville eatery has it covered. Though, you’ll find more than just corn empanadas, pork belly bun with fermented chilli salsa or huevos con bacon y salsa huancainia (poached eggs and bacon). The bustling cantina takes it up a notch with dishes such as fresh ceviche which relies on both the catch of the day and tiger’s milk – the traditional Peruvian citrus-based marinade that delivers a kick of spice as it cures. There are of course empanadas of different stripes but the seafood excels: octopus with housemade olive tapenade, or scallops with melted parmesan, citrus, aji amarillo butter and salsa verde, giving a sense of Western Australia’s coastal advantage. Pay your respects on the bebida front by diving into one of their pisco-centred drinks, the sour of course being the classic.
