Sans aucun doute le meilleur restaurant de Gatineau/Ottawa! Nous y allons régulièrement , meme que l'on se retient pour ne pas y aller plus souvent! �
Une nourriture aux saveurs authentiques.
Un petit restaurant chaleureux avec une ambiance typiquement péruvienne.
Une entreprise familiale qui nous offre des repas fait avec passion et qui a la fierté de nous faire connaitre la gastronomie mondialement réputé du Pérou.
Nous y allons en moyenne une fois par semaine depuis quelques années et nous n'avons jamais été déçu des repas qui nous ont été servi. C'est toujours savoureux et ce sont toujours des portions généreuses. Tout ce qu'il faut pour nous rendre accros! �
Nous faisons même appel à leurs services lors de grandes réunions familiales!
Je n'ai pas encore essayé tout ce qui est proposé sur leur menu mais pour l'instant mon top 3 est sans aucuns doutes le filet de poisson frit, le seco et le lomo saltado.
Accompagné de leur drink traditionnel, le pisco sour, c'est difficile de faire mieux! Je peux vous garantir que vous voudrez en commander un deuxième verre! �
Mon mari, étant originaire du Pérou, ne peut se passer du fameux ceviche de pescado con jalea. Il affirme qu'Amazonas offre un excellent ceviche, à la hauteur de ses attentes et il en redemande à chaque visite.
Nous sommes tres privilégiés d'avoir un aussi bon restaurant a moins de 5 minutes!
Si vous passez devant, n'hésitez surtout pas à arrêter. Vous ne le regretterez pas!
Ce petit restaurant est une vraie mine d'or! La famille Vargas mérite de se faire connaitre pour son talent culinaire.
Allez-y! Nous sommes certains que vous tomberez amoureux vous aussi! Ne passez surtout pas à côté... �
Qualité de la nourriture excellente et authentique. Vraiment un plaisir à déguster. Je recommande fortement, même pour les néophytes de la culture culinaire péruvienne et sud-américaine (comme moi).

Amazing Amazonas! ........................................................................................................................................................
Authentic Peruvian food. Amazing family run restaurant. The food was outstanding. Probably the best ceviche I have ever had. And the empanadas were just wow. Love the avian and the chef was amazing. We got to take a little bit of Peru with us. This is a diamond in the rough. Amazing place. Everyone must eat here.
A really good experience. Good food and afordable prices last weekend I went with some friends so we tried the lomo satado ,anticuchos,ceviche and the lamb everything was delicious and the soft drinks that they make there chicah morada oh at the firts sip you will love it about the service I think was good enough I really recomend this places for authentic peruvian home coocked experince .
Yum!. We had empanadas, ceviche, arroz con pollo and a pitcher of "natural juice". The empanadas were piping hot and perfectly spiced. The juice was delightful -- it seemed like a mixture of berry and citrus of some kind, freshly blended. The ceviche had the wonderful, fresh, lime-chili essence I was hoping for, but texture of the fish was a bit too soft -- I wondered whether it had been left in its marinade slightly too long.
The arroz con pollo was a revelation! Who expects any surprises from chicken and rice, right? But this rendition was wonderful. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the green rice that accompanied it had just the right amount of cilantro in it. We'll return to the restaurant some day just for that.

Finally!!!. Having been to Peru on two occasions, I was quite sad that there was no traditional Peruvian restaurant in the Ottawa area. Well that all changed, after having discovered Amazonas, which has only been open for a short time, but already with a strong cult following in the region - People drive from all over Ottawa to eat here, and now I know why!
First, the bad reviews are unfounded. This is not a 4 star restaurant, this is a small family owned place, home cooked food type of place. Don't come here expecting bells and whistles. Come here expecting authentic, affordable Peruvian dishes with extremely friendly service in a home dining room setting, all at a very affordable price.
I ate here with my gf and another couple, and all 4 of us loved it. We started with the Pisco Sour, highly recommended as an aperitif. We then shared the Ceviche, which was simply out of this world, just like in Peru! We all had different main dishes, the seafood soup - excellent, a lamb dish, chicken dish, and other seafood. All of it was well presented, sufficiently seasoned - yet without too much salt, and the portions were just right.
I will definitely return here again to try some of the other dishes, and also to get my Ceviche fix.
Hot Sauces, green rice was excellent!
I've been back four time now and I just love this place, especially the lomo saltado. Very happy to have this great restaurant in Aylmer. :)
Yummy. Limited menu n wine list but who needs more when all is great @ reasonable $

Please eat here! We need this place to stay open in Aylmer!. Living in a small town like Aylmer can be dismally disappointing when it comes to seeking good food. Not that we mind driving to Ottawa or Montreal for some really good noms, but sometimes its nice to eat in your own back yard. Fortunately, Aylmer has been blessed by a relatively new, small Peruvian restaurant called Amazonas. We will be the first to confess that upon first approach, we were reluctant, but having now eaten there we are relieved! The environment is comfortable and clean, the service is very friendly, and the food is excellent, authentic, and a welcome change from the terrible and abundant "bring your own wine" establishments that seem to flourish here. We had the beef empanadas, clearly all made by hand here in the restaurant, and were so good! We also sampled the tamales which came freshly cooked in banana leaf and toped with tomatoes, onions, and coriander and a side of hot habanero sauce (not too unlike piri piri). As this was our first visit, we shyed away from the Ceviche and lamb dishes (you just never know) and ordered fish, which was very fresh, very flavourful and served with fried yucca. We fully plan to order the Ceviche and other specialities on our next visit. Overall, a great visit, and a welcome addition to the area. The only negative we can point out was the wine. We ordered a couple of glasses of Chardonnay, which were served warm. Not a bid deal, and the wine was not the focus, and everything else was perfect!
Fantastic Family Run Restaurant. Great food and friendly family service. I truly recommend this place. Authentic wholesome cuisine and worth getting out to no matter where you are in the NCR! Only problem is the prices are too low! shhhh.. don't tell.
Amazing food, simply delicious. Honestly one of the best and affordable Peruvian restaurants in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. Portions were amazing and everything was fresh and very well made. Service was veryy slowww, however cause how good the food was I wasn’t bothered. Definitely a must tryy.
Highly recommended restaurant in old Aylmer, off the main drag of rue Principale. Flavourful, authentic Peruvian dining, unique in the region, owned by ex-pats Segundo and Rosa of Lima. Recent changes in the kitchen have paid off in quality at the table. Fiery Ceviche, delicate Jalea de Pescado y Mariscos (lightly battered seafood) with cassava, and savoury Lomo Saltado sirloin cubes are all worth consideration. Try the nationally famous Chicha Morada drink, a purple concoction of corn, pineapple and clove.
This isn't just good Peruvian food it is some of the best food in the Ottawa area. A little out of the way but well worth it. The Empanadas are fresh and satisfying and the hot sauce is tasty. The Lomo Saltado is a must and the Arroz con Pollo is perfectly cooked with simply fantastic green rice. Don't miss it.
Great authentic food and service, will be going back often! Hidden spot in Aylmer, downside is they started giving very small portions and it’s expensive. I do understand inflation has caused issues but the lomos saltados+ shouldn’t feel like a luxury expense.
I'm speechless! I regret not trying this place out sooner. We just had the most amazing lunch on the patio. Great friendly staff, amazing food. Even the squid in my Lomo mixto was perfectly cooked! Must try.
Such delicious food! We loved the arroz con mariscos (highly recommend) and also really enjoyed the tamale (which took a few bites to get used to the taste but once we did, it was delicious). My husband also enjoyed the lomo saltado. Definitely will be going back here!
Who knew this little gem of a restaurant has been here 10 years? This was my first time experiencing Amazonas and I was pleasantly surprised! ☺️ The setting is simple and cozy. The food was superb! I will definitely be returning now that I’ve discovered it! 👍😎
Really good, home style Peruvian restaurant. Food here feels like home back in Peru. Prices are affordable. Highly recommended.
My suggestion would be to introduce some meat-free and vegan options. Some of my friends were not able to taste the amazing Lomo Saltado because of that and they didn't had many options to choose from the menu. Vegetarian is not only salad.
After that, we had a very nice time and the service was good, if not very enthusiastic.
Authentic family style Peruvian kitchen, just like grandma used to cook. A good selection and large portions at a fair price. Pisco sour is excellent.
Update 7/25
Newly renovated dining room. Looks amazing. The wood finished walls gives it a very modern home look. Food is still absolutely amazing.
What can I say about this place. It’s like a mini vacation in your mouth. Family owned restaurant in Alymer, QC that should be packed every night because of how amazing the food is. You can really tell the food is made with love and that it is truly authentic. Every Last Sunday of the month this restaurant offers a buffet. Highly recommend it if you have always wanted to try Peruvian food
