"What started with a restaurant looking to bring Peru to the Plateau has accomplished its mission and then some: Since September 2021, Barranco’s chefs, Daniel Silva and Michelangelo Miceli, have teamed up with Le Passé Composé’s Arnaud Glay to serve a menu of dishes like tartines with calamari, burgers topped with panko-crusted mahi-mahi, and saucy eggs Benedict served with sautéed octopus and squid." - JP Karwacki, Valerie Silva

"Named after a cool, colourful seaside neighbourhood in Lima, this St-Denis newcomer dishes causas (mashed potato terrines filled with ingredients like avocado, grilled octopus, shrimp, and more); pollo a la brasa, the nation’s famous crispy-skinned roast chicken; chicharrón (succulent fried pork) in taco and sandwich form; and a whole gamut of mahi-mahi ceviche. Its weekend brunch is also worth checking out." - Joel Balsam, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff

"Since travel to Lima (and everywhere else) seems fraught right now, Barranco’s newly released Peruvian menu showcases meaty Peruvian-style sandwiches and platters with chorizo, steak, and pork. The side dishes are a carb-lover’s dream, featuring causas — a layered potato casserole— choclo (large-kernelled South American corn) slathered with cheese and mayo or in a veggie-rich mashup, and Peruvian fried potatoes (yellow or sweet) and yucca." - Ivy Lerner-Frank

"Named after the bohemian, graffiti-splattered neighbourhood in Lima that’s reminiscent of the Plateau, Barranco does Peruvian street food like ceviche, leche de tigre (the ceviche juice on its own), and chicharron sandwiches. Like its menu and internal decor, Barranco’s 30- to 40-person terrasse is full of colour and plant life." - Joel Balsam
