About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Tanta is dedicated to sharing the flavors and culture of Peru with Chicago, serving authentic Peruvian dishes and beverages in an approachable, fun and casual downtown setting. We provide service that is casual yet knowledgeable, genuine and attentive, utilizing locally sourced products and vendors that are sensitive to sustainable farming and fishing.

Tanta has two Chef’s Tables that each seat up to 10 people. These tables are located in our main dining room in between our open kitchen and cebiche bar which allows you and your guests to experience our chefs creating Peruvian cuisine while you dine.

The menu, created by Acurio and Tanta Chicago Chefs Jesus Delgado and Jose Cubas, takes diners on a voyage through Peru via its food. From the Pacific Ocean, through the Andes, to the desert, to the Amazon, Tanta celebrates the diverse landscape and ethnicities that make up Peru’s culture.

    Husband and I are visiting from out of town, came here for brunch on am early Sunday afternoon. Resturant was hopping, vibrant atmosphere, a couple large groups were also here to celebrate; accommodates small and large groups. The food was delicious, as were the cocktails. I love Mezcal, and their mezcal cocktails were top notch. Very friendly and attentive waitstaff. My husband sums it up well: classy and elevated, but casually approachable and not pretentious. Highly recommend!!

    What a delightful experience! Each dish was carefully plated and offered an aesthetic that was superb. I enjoyed the traditional pisco sour cocktail as we started w/ Maracuya, an ahi tuna dish paired with taro chips. Next was the Lomo Saltado, a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin dish. Tanta never disappoints!

    Tanta never disappoints, although the presentation of the dishes used to be better., and that gors for the drinks too. Hopefully it goes back to the old ways and the restaurant will keep going strong.
