Bistro Peru in Sanford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The place is very cozy and pleasant to look at. Good taste music. Exquisite finger-licking food and excellent service. Recommended 100%. we will be back!!

Really good food and well priced, kitchen is a bit slow but it's just one guy and it's worth the wait

I have lived in Sanford my whole life, this is the best food down here hands down. I don’t even think they have been here a year yet but the chef they have is incredibly talented.

Great food and people! Highly recommend!

If you are in Sanford, this is a must try!!! I have tried almost everything on the menu and everything they serve is so tasty! My favorites are the pork bowl and the calamari. Outstanding service, super friendly, family run business!

A spectacular atmosphere, the perfect music for the atmosphere, the food ufff. Chef Enrique was extremely excellent. We also had dessert and the mantecado that is made by the chef is divine, the churros were excellent and our son was delighted. The attention is personalized Yanina and chef Enrique thank you very much for such excellent service. 200% recommended, everyone who has the opportunity visit the place they will not regret...

I went with my family like two times on the last visit we were completely ignored and the owner never came to ask if we wanted anything or at least explain that they were very busy never happened I stood up disgusted and told my family to get out of This place at that moment the owner came out and said goodbye, zero professional ethics and customer service, we have been living in the Sanford area for many years and in no other restaurant, neither Mexican nor American, have they given us such bad service I do not recommend it👎🏽👎🏽

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bistro Peru, a local gem nestled in Sanford, and I simply must share my delightful culinary experience. From the moment I entered Bistro Peru, I was met with nothing short of outstanding service, combined with an authentically warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes one feel instantly at home. The staff are not only remarkably courteous but also incredibly sweet, their genuine warmth contributing to the overall ambience of this Peruvian haven. The dishes I sampled could only be described as phenomenally authentic and incredibly tasty. Starting with the crispy Chicharrón and flavorful Yuca, the meal was off to an appetizing start. The Lomo Saltado showcased the beautiful fusion of Peruvian flavors with perfectly cooked beef and a balance of spices. The Fish and Chips, a delightful surprise on a Peruvian menu, were simply delectable, with the fish being perfectly cooked, and the chips, crispy and delicious. The Cuban Pork Bowl, a hearty and flavorful dish, was a culinary tour de force. And last but not least, the Calamari, golden and crispy on the outside while tender inside, left me in seafood bliss. I wholeheartedly recommend Bistro Peru, and not just for a one-time experience. This is the kind of place you'll want to frequent, to enjoy a different taste of Peru with every visit. Each dish serves as a testament to the restaurant's commitment to maintaining the authentic essence of Peruvian cuisine, while also offering something unique and tantalizing for the local food scene. Bistro Peru is indeed a welcome addition to the Sanford culinary landscape, bringing an exotic touch to the local food scene. I sincerely hope this restaurant continues to enrich our town with its fantastic food and exceptional service for many years to come. If you're looking for a new dining experience, don't hesitate to visit Bistro Peru - it's an absolute must!

Food was amazing and the portion is great. I am looking forward to eat it again.

This place is just absolutely bomb, I think it might be the best food in Sanford.

Delicious and authentic + great service

Third time here as the first two times was opening night and month, so we wanted to give them another shot. The pros: they’re super friendly, good service and happy to see diverse cuisine in DT Sanford. The steak tallarín saltado was tasty. The cons: The lomo saltado the quality of the meat was lacking and raw. The flavor was so-so. The papa huancaina was bland, watery and not sure what cheese they used. The dishes we ordered out of 5 only one (tallarín saltado) was good. Being 1/2 Peruvian, growing up eating and now cooking Peruvian cuisine, my expectations for Bistro Peru were high. Perhaps because it’s a “fusion” and not authentic Peruvian is why it’s missing the mark. However, we been to several Peruvian fusion restaurants and the fundamental flavors were present as well as the quality of the ingredients were there. Bistro Peru lacks both.

Deceiving at first. Diamond in the ruff. Excellent Service and the food was better. Ceviche a must!

We order the Cuban bowl as recommended by a bar patron and it was amazing. A wonderful value as two can easily share. With a great atmosphere and spot on service we will be back soon.

I was craving a nice fish sandwich and these folks delivered very nicely. It was accompanied by some very nice fries. The beer is from the place next door.

Delicious food. The arroz chaufa was amazing.

The chaufa rice was really good!!! Also the Bistec a lo pobre was perfect for my dad!! Great restaurant!! Great service!

Tasteful dishes, full of flavor, perfect serving size and excellent service. This restaurant is a great choice if you are looking to taste the exquisite Peruvian cuisine.

Great Peruvian food. Craft beer in a bother room. Great service. Chef came out greeted us. Definitely recommend

The steak was cooked exactly to perfection, it was season just right not overly seasoned or under but it left you wondering about the next bite. The presentation of the plate was very neat, and garnished just right. For the money, this is probably the best steak in town. Service was a plus! We will be back! Thank you.

Delicious! One of my best friends is Peruvian and gave this place a thumbs up. We waited a little for our food but it was 6 of us and when we tasted the food we were all quite. It was definitely worth the wait. The amount of food they serve you is amazing. We all had a container full with leftover food. So good. One of our friends is vegan and they was able to make sure she had a dish she would enjoy and she did. They are so sweet in there. Going back tonight and I can't wait 🤗

Great service, great food and wonderful atmosphere. I'll be back.

Delicious! The huancaina is amazing. Lomo saltado is spot on. Pecan pesto unique and tasty as well. Will definitely be back!!

Stumbled into this place by accident when my friends and I came in for a beer and appetizers. Came back the very next day for lunch and I have no regrets! Food was delicious. I had been looking for Peruvian food in central Florida for a while with no success. First day we had yuca, papá a la huancaina, and calamari. Everything was delicious. Next day I had lomo saltado and it was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend it.

The food is delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend the Lomo Saltado. Very kind staff as well!

The staff was very nice! The food was delicious! We ordered the Yuca fries and Chicharrón which I didn’t take photo’s because we were starving but I did take a photo of our main meal which was the Tallarin Verde - Linguini al Pesto. Overall a pleasant and delicious experience.

The food here is first class...smells, tastes and looks great. Staff is super friendly and everything is spotless. First time here and we are already planning on when we will be back.

Excellent food, you must go and tried.
