Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: CANCHITA offers a vibrant introduction to Peruvian cuisine, set in a charming, nature-adjacent Dempsey location.

We see consistent praise for the Octopus a la Brasa, described as 'divine and tender' and a 'must order.' The Ceviche Clásico also garners strong recommendations for its freshness and authentic flavour.

While some dishes like the Arroz con Mariscos are noted for being 'one-dimensional' or having a strong tomato, lime, and cheese profile, others like the fish tacos and asparagus receive high marks.

The lomo saltado's beef has been described as 'a bit tough' by some, indicating some inconsistency in meat preparation.

Portions for dishes like the wagyu can be on the smaller side, though quality is generally high.

Service is generally considered average, but the pet-friendly outdoor seating and unique menu contribute to an enjoyable overall experience.

Verdict: A good destination for those looking to explore Peruvian flavours, especially if you're in the Dempsey area and keen on trying the octopus or ceviche.

Best for a relaxed meal, perhaps with pets in tow.
