Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜ALDO (アルド)南青山店

What an absolute gem of a find!! Ate here tonight and was transported to Peru with the flavours of each dish. Authenticity behind the cooking and ingredients are evident. Both the service and food were so good that we've decided to come back in a few nights again before we leave tokyo. We ordered quite a few items along with a couple of Pisco Sours. Top tip - get your pisco sour with passionfruit (maracuya) - you won't regret it! Ceviche - our favourite dish. Quite large for the price and very, very fresh. Causa - a nice palette change. A small potato and tuna dish Yucas - so, so, so good. Very fresh and delicious along with the Anticuchos which were soft, tender beef pieces cooked to perfection. Camerones al pisco - the sauce absolutely made this for me along with the prawns and rice, everything was just delicious. Arroz (rice) con mariscos (with seafood) - highly recommend. Like a delicious seafood paella / risotto cooked so nicely. I'd recommend ordering this dish with notice ie at the very beginning so it cooks while you eat your entrees. Dessert - Arroz con leche (rice with milk) - simply delicious. We ordered all of the above, as well as 2 pisco sour for about 10,000jpy which was definitely value for money! You can done here on a budget also, we kind of just wanted to try it all and are big fans of Peruvian food so we spoiled ourselves a little. This place was better than any Peruvian restaurant I've tried in Australia! Looking forward to revisiting and trying the chicken, casuela and some dessert. Do yourself a favour and get to this restaurant! Recommend booking in advance to secure a table but we got very lucky as a walk in, there were 2 tables left.

Nice little restaurant that serves delicious Peruvian food, such as Lomo Saltado (chopped sirloin with onions, potatoes and tomatoes), Aji de Gallina (chicken with spicy “aji” sauce) and others. The place is small, located in the underground floor of a building, a bit hard to find - but you will spot the llama outside. Prices are reasonable for the portions and quality.

Food full of flavor, a very slight kick for some dishes, just enough for me. Ordered Causa (potato, avocado and tuna), Ceviche, Chupe de Camaron and a tomato fish stew. Everything was delicious, especially the Chupe de Camaron. A creamy broth full of shrimp flavor. Highly recommend. Definitely will come back!
