Located in Toronto’s Little Italy, Mochica restaurant showcases the richness and diversity of Peruvian cuisine from aboriginal specialities to contemporary Peruvian fusion delicacies.
Five sorts of ceviche including pre- and post-Columbian versions as well as a vegan quinoa ceviche detail the culinary history of Peru. Cordon Bleu Chef Martin Oré draws particular inspiration from his ancestral aboriginal Mochica culture. Whether the alpaca burger and cassava fries or the fresh fish and warming meat stews, each dish is infused with the aromas and flavours of ancient and modern Peru.
Cocktails from specially imported Peruvian spirits and wines selected by sommelier and co-owner Claude Pétrin compliment the cuisine.
Mochica restaurant in Toronto is the Oré-Pétrin team’s second restaurant in Canada. Mochica on St. Denis Blvd opened 12 years ago to rave reviews, and the Mochican Palace Hotel and Restaurant in Peru opened in 2013.
