"If you’ve never tried Nikkei cuisine (the fusion of Japanese and Peruvian), Tiradito is a stellar introduction. Start off with a pisco sour to accompany one of their ceviches or the titular tiradito (akin to sashimi). Bring friends: the small plates are made to share." - Daniel Bromberg
"Montreal's first proper Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) restaurant, located half a block from the Palais des Congrès, Tiradito blends the two cuisines into small plates that are packed with color, texture, and flavor. Chef Marcel Olivier Larrea's tiradito—a saucy version of sashimi with fiery aji amarillo chili, miso, and tamarind, and topped with crunchy Peruvian grilled corn kernels—is a good place to start. Other must-orders are the deep-fried octopus anticucho, served with dark, salty-sweet sauce, and the barbecued duck sandwich in a steamed bun." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
"Tiradito made a splash when it landed on the local culinary scene in 2016, and it continues to impress with its Peruvian-Japanese (or Nikkei) fare — all served from behind a stylish wrap-around bar. Try the octopus anticucho (grilled skewers), crab causa (made here with tobiko, avocado, and a maple emulsion), its namesake tiradito, a dish of sashimi-style raw fish dressed in a parmesan leche de tigre sauce, and, of course, the mandatory pisco sour." - Daniel Bromberg
"Arguably the city’s most beloved Peruvian restaurant, Tiradito specializes in hybrid Nikkei cuisine, and chef Daniel Silva is said to have earned his stripes there before moving on to other projects." - Valerie Silva
