Canggio Restaurant

About the restaurant

Canggio Restaurant is a classy but casual dining atmosphere for guests to enjoy the unique offerings of Peruvian cuisine.

Some well-loved dishes are Trio de Ceviche, Pato, Seco de Lomo, and Arroz Chaufa.

Chef Julio Cancho is born and raised in Peru, but classically trained in French and Italian cookery. He adds a Peruvian twist to some American dishes also on the menu.

Peruvian cuisine, considered among the best in the world, inherited its innovation, mix and flavors from Peru’s history. Its culinary fusion developed over a long process of cultural exchange between the Spanish, Africans, Chinese, Japanese and Italians, among others. The dishes became more and more varied as races mixed and migrants landed at the port of Callao.

Eat here often because the food is so good. Would have given 5 star for food but last night the chaufa I ordered was a bit too salty. Ceviche and Trios apps incredibly good. Pisco Sour goes down easily:)

Outstanding from beginning to end. Our server tended to our table as needed and made excellent recommendations (the meatloaf with French onion gravy is incredible!). And major shout out on no tipping. This has been Rick’s formula for decades - pay staff a livable wage.

Valentina was exceptional. She is so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing as usual but roasted squash app, tres leche and Malbec were standouts.

Great choices on the menu to please everyone in our group of 4. We all got something different and all were happy! Served in a very pleasing manner and delicious. Everybody was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Not at all rushed and prix fixe was offered which 2 of us chose. Best meal ever!
