What an amazing experience!!! Suyo delivered in the food and drinks. Ordered the chef tasting menu and a few drinks to pair with the entrees. All 8 courses brought me back to my childhood in Peru but with a modern twist. Love the cozy restaurant, all servers and bartenders. Amazing job!! read more

Perfect place for a birthday celebration! We ordered the 7-course tasting menu at $189/pp which includes 5 dishes and 2 dessert. The tasting menu -hamachi toradito - 5/5 - I love the lime flavoured sauce and is very refreshing. -Hannah brooke kale salad - 4/5 - with sunchoke was very flavorful. -chicken and fois gras empanadas - 5/5 - very flavorful and the sauce goes well with the empanadas. - king salmon - 4/5 - perfectly cooked salmon -braised veal cheek - 5/5 - veal cheek was very good and came with garlic scented rice. -lucuma sorbet with milk crumble. Very refresh dessert. -Valrhona Chocolate cake with Tres Leches - 5/5 - best soft chocolate cake ever. -Pisco sour and passionfruit pisco sour drinks - I like the passionfruit pisco sour. Portions here are pretty big. Tasting menu was a great way to try different dishes and some dishes were not on the menu. Food was really good but the tasting menu is a bit expensive when compared another restaurant nearby that we also recently visited at $165/pp for 10 course. Service here was excellent. Servers were very attentive and water was topped up frequently. Tables were quite close so it was a little noisy to carry on a conversation. I am looking forward to coming here again. Overall - 5/5 Review Rating: 1 - Poor, 2 - OK, 3 - Good, 4 - Very Good, 5 - Excellent read more

We had such an amazing meal and experience at Suyo! The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations for drinks and food. For cocktails: I tried the Pisco Sour and Canopy. The Pisco Sour was a great way to start the meal and the Canopy is slightly bitter but very refreshing and was my personal favorite out of the two! They also have delicious non-alcoholic drink options. The dishes are family style. Between the two of us we shared the Scallop Tiradito, Yucas Fritas, Octopus Anticuchero, Arroz con Pato, and Lomo Saltado. We loved everything we ordered! The scallop tiradito was refreshing and perfectly sliced. Yucas Fritas came with two kinds of dipping sauce and the fires itself is actually already flavorful. They were soft and warm and not overly fried. The octopus was one of the most tender octopus I've had! The duck was also very well cooked and tender and the rice below was absolutely delicious. Lomo Saltado is a traditional Peruvian dish that combines Chinese ingredients. The flavors are a perfect fusion, the meat was tender and soft, and you have a bowl of seasoned white rice to soak up the leftover sauces. Finally, there was complimentary homemade toasted marshmallows to end the meal! read more

Suyo Modern Peruvian I can honestly say I've never had authentic Peruvian cuisine before, so I wasn't prepared for how flavourful and experiential this would be. Everything was meticulously thought out, yet everything came off as very relaxed and easygoing. Suyo has a ton of awards and accolades, including "Best new restaurant in Vancouver of 2023" and I absolutely see why. Terrace (cocktail) made with glenmorangie single malt - 10/10 - reminiscent of a smoky negroni but with more depth and character Ceviche Mixto - 10/10 - with Haida Gwaii halibut, Peruvian corn, aji amarillo, and leche de Tigre (a traditional Peruvian ceviche sauce/marinade). It had a fantastic combination of citrus, fresh seafood, crunchy fried corn, and herb/spice notes Grilled White Asparagus with purple yam puree - 9/10 - the smoked mayonnaise sauce was incredibly rich and well seasoned Dungeness Crab Croquettes - 10/10 - deliciously spiced, but not fiery. The sauce was packed with flavour, which complimented the rich crab flavours and was a great pairing Octopus Anticuchero - 10/10 - my favourite of the night. The octopus was marinated, grilled, and then seasoned again. Duck Confit with beer soaked rice - 10/10 - the duck was perfectly cooked, but the star was the cilantro/beer rice. I could eat a bowl of just that Americano - I'm mentioning this because I've had many posts where I've said certain coffee isn't to my palate. THIS WAS INCREDIBLE "Mango Cheesecake" - 8/10 - looked stunning, many components, and very impressive, but very little mango flavour. If it didn't have that name, it easily would have scored a 9. Taste - 9.5/10 Plating - 10/10 (Google their "Ensalada Rusa" for more proof) Ambiance - 9.5/10 (beautiful interior but very busy) Service - 10/10 (our server knew EVERYTHING about the dishes, wiped the table between courses, fresh cutlery and plates per course, with a warmed plate for the duck) Overall - 10/10 Better than Miku or Published in my opinion. Easily in my top 3 restaurants in the lower mainland. read more

Food: The Highlights: Hamachi Ceviche (the sauce!!!) Octopus Halibut (the sauce!!!) I personally love the acidic kick in ceviche, and the Hamachi Ceviche really nailed it. Our table collectively agreed that we wanted to lick the plate clean. There is also a great variety of textures in this plate, which we appreciated. The octopus is cooked really nicely, almost shreds like chicken breast would. The seasoning gave it a barbeque-esque flavour. Some crispiness to the outside, thoroughly soft inside. Halibut: Also cooked really nicely (flakey fish, anyone?) and a fantastic acidic sauce once again! It comes paired with garlic rice, which was flavoured so frangrantly. We really liked the Tajin spice addition to the lime, which we dispersed across the fish and broccoli. We mixed the sauce with the rice, and it made the rice feel so light and refreshing. The other dishes were also delicious, but they weren't particularly new flavour profiles to me. Beef tartare is beef tartare, really great with the fried tapioca chips. The beet salad tasted very fragrant and earthy. The scallop ceviche is also delicious, but the hamachi was a scene-stealer. The Lowlight: Pork Chicharron We wanted to love the pork! It was crispy on the outside, but was quite dry on the inside. The flavour profile was still decent and refreshing, but the dryness took away from the dish. The desserts: Spring at Suyo: The guanabana sorbet on this dish is AMAZING. I wish they would serve it as its own separate dessert! Do I think it's worth the $18? Short answer, no, but if you're splitting it with friends for a few bites, the sorbet is really good, the mango cheesecake, I've had better. I would not have known that it is supposed to taste like mango. Peruvian Trifle: Better bang for buck in terms of portion size, but I hardly ever think a dessert cake cup should be $16. Again, great for sharing, there is a delicious sweet/sour kick to it, could be a good palate cleanser... but would not order it again. Overall a $340 meal (three drinks included), which is cheaper than the $149/per person tasting menu pricing. We wanted to order more variety (as opposed to a seven course meal that would be the same for everyone) and we managed to do that without making it a $600+ bill. Be mindful that it is fine dining, which means beautiful, however smaller portion sizes for its monetary value. We left feeling contently full as four ladies, but by no means were we stuffed. I would come back here to have the highlights again, as well as to try new additions to the menu. It's a comfortable fine dining experience with wait staff that are knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. In terms of overall experience, definitely one of the tastier restaurants I've been to as of late! read more

We lived in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood, so we of course wanted to try this latest "hip" restaurant that just opened. The space is modern, and the server is a bit too friendly, but OK. There were just two of us, so we ordered 4 small dishes to share. To our surprise, the portion of each dish was decent, better than other "fancy" restaurants. However, the problem for us was the taste, for example, the Ceviche was so acid forward that we could not taste the fish at all. Another example was the beef tartar, while the dish looked wonderful, the meat was seriously under seasoned. Overall, we were disappointed. We expected higher food quality, for the price. Sadly, we will not be back. For the two of us, with one drink each, the bill was $160.00 read more

Wow just wow !!!! Had finally gotten a reservation her after attempting for months and it was totally worth the wait. We wish we had bigger stomachs so we can try everything on the menu so we will definitely be back. The location was smaller than expected but explains why reservations are so hard to get! The hamachi carpaccio is A MUST. Everything was simple with an explosion of taste, just amazing. read more

Great food, good atmosphere & top quality cocktails. Only downside is the price $$$. But that's to e expected for quality. Either way, would recommend. read more

Finally tried the Michelin recommended restaurant (it's hard to get a reservation, book in advance). The decor and the bar created a very chic and warm ambiance. You might think there are only a few tables but the dinning area extends to the back. The mixologist does a lot of storytelling with their drinks. Don't mess with them. Each concoction has been carefully crafted with care and time. Started off dinner with: HAMACHI TIRADITO AVOCADO MOUSSE, CHALACA, CHOCLO, CANCHA, NIKKEI LECHE DE TIGRE Then: PORK CHICHARRON SLIDERS STEAMED BUN, POLENTA TAMAL, SARZA CRIOLLA, BOTIJA OLIVE MAYO Also: King Salmon (looks like they don't have that on the menu anymore) To finish off: PERUVIAN TRIFLE MARACUYA, LUCUMA, MILK CRUMBLE, PISCO FOAM The trifle is a must and leaves no regret. If only you can just wander into the bar and have dessert every night, then I would. read more

When I made a reservation for my friends birthday I noted she has an orange vegetable allergy. When we arrived and mentioned it to our waitress. We were told all the ceviches have an orange pepper in them so we couldn't order any of those. Other small plates had yams and other orange vegetables as did the steak ... they then tried to talk up an 18 oz rib eye and wagyu (the price was insane). We spoke to the manager who said he saw the note in the morning but didn't realize what that meant and it was a learning experience for them. I am irritated that they never called to ask more about the allergy and did not accommodate at the restaurant. In addition, my husband surprised us by ordering us some dishes but they did not clearly express that so we had no idea. We thought they apologized and comped us some of the meal since we couldn't have most items but instead they charged my husband the difference. The entire experience was handled so poorly. It ruined our night out and celebration. They could have handled it better overall. read more

Amazing dinner! We had the limited NYE 7-course tasting menu ($149 per person) which included halibut ceviche, beet and parsnip salad, octopus, duck, trout, and two desserts. Every dish felt like it was meticulously put together with beautiful presentation and great flavours. Portions were generous and great value. Our favourite dish of the night was hands down the octopus, which was tender and velvety. Our fabulous server Andres enthusiastically walked us through each course, while providing the Peruvian history for specific dishes. Their cocktails are equally as creative and full of Peruvian roots. read more

Absolutely delicious and unique Peruvian food. Great sharing plates. Our server was so knowledgeable about everything on the menu.

First of all I need to say to be fair to them that I'm not a fan of restaurants like these. Over priced pretty plates that you only get a nibble especially if it's shared. The only reason I gave 2 stars was the server was very professional even tho he said we wouldn't leave hungry lol We never asked him he volunteered that statement He knows there small I was looking forward to being able to try some different Peruvian dishes that I've never had but this place really was a big disappointment!! We came here because my sons fiancé is Peruvian and she was very excited to go here. So needless to say I've had excellent authentic Peruvian food. First of all if you have any type of appetite at all you'll need to spend a small fortune to be satisfied. We ordered 9 dishes to share between 4 people and we just stopped at that because they were so small (for $25-$30 ea) that we each only got a couple nibbles per plate. It was frustrating cause it felt like with every dish that came I was getting more hungry The Truffle Tiradito was so tiny not even enough for one person in my opinion. The Beef heart was tough and the potato accompaniment was again just a teaser The flavours were nice but the Ceviche Classico was only ok, I've definitely had better Ceviche. We didn't bother ordering a main dish I mean $240 for the rack of lamb??? Really people. I don't have a problem dining at expensive restaurants but it better be exceptional with decent sized portions but that isn't happening here. And the cocktails once again were beyond tiny. The venue it self is ok but not very big so your packed in with everyone quite close Again not my preference when dining out To sum this place up... Over priced! Over hyped! Under delivered! I wouldn't waste your time or money! read more

BUYER BEWARE: Do yourself a favor and don't give this place your money. Find someplace else that actually cares about its patrons and doesn't look to just take their money for free. If you do decide to book, be forewarned, if you don't cancel your reservation more than 24 hours in advance, they will take and keep your money. I called and emailed roughly 6-7 hours in advance of my scheduled reservation, which was just recently during the holidays. I was on vacation in Vancouver to celebrate and I realized that I accidentally booked two restaurants the same evening. Thus, I called to cancel my reservation with this restaurant as soon as I noticed my mistake, which, again, was 6-7 hours in advance and gave the restaurant plenty of time to fill the spot if people were looking to dine there that night. Instead of showing a shred of grace and decency, especially given that I could have concocted an emergency or other story, I told the truth and literally had to pay for it--$100, no less, and for nothing other than accidentally failing to cancel a reservation a day ahead. Moreover, the GM, Ebenezer Scrooge I believe was his name, refused to speak to me like a human being, probably because he was embarrassed and couldn't tell me to my face that he wanted to take my money in exchange for nothing, and, instead, cowardly reverted to email wherein he had the audacity to try and guilt me into letting them keep my $100 because they're a "small restaurant" and clearly need money they didn't earn. That's probably what enabled them to close down for two weeks while I assume the leadership of the restaurant enjoys vacation. I really hate that I have to write such a sarcastic and negative review, but I'm tired of being taken advantage of and seeing it happen to other honest people. As of this date, I've called and emailed numerous times to try and discuss the issue and ideally resolve it amicably, but the restaurant simply has ignored me after saying they were keeping my money. Anyway, everyone has so many choices nowadays and you should get value for your hard-earned money. Don't give it to this bunch. They don't deserve it, not with how they treat customers. I couldn't tell you about the food, because I didn't get to dine there, which I was considering doing until I had this awful experience. read more

Beautiful decor, great service, delicious cocktails (best Pisco Sour in Vancouver!) and great food! We had the ceviche mixto which was a mix of textures and flavours, and the nikkei (salmon) tartare - both incredible fresh and flavourful! The winner of the day was the octopus anticuchero (grilled octopus) which came with 2 large slices, yam purée (this part was served cold which was unexpected) and a slight kick to the chimichurri sauce! We also had the prawn causa which came with 3 fried pieces - they were fried with tail shells on which wasn't my favourite but some people don't mind that - the potato under the prawns was also cold but I believe intended that way! Overall a great experience and would definitely come back! A hidden gem on Main Street in an unassuming spot! read more

Where do I start? We had the 8 course tasting menu and it was delicious!!! Everything about the dishes were amazing! The service was super awesome!!! We definitely will try to come back each time their tasting menu changes! We can't wait to be surprised by the chef! Highly recommend!! read more

This place has the most amazing food and cocktail menu that I have experienced in Vancouver. We shared a variety of dishes, with the standouts being the ceviche and the grilled octopus. The cocktails were beyond amazing... some of the best thought through creations I have ever come across. I highly recommend this spot and will be going again! read more

Recently went to Ancora, which I think is the only other higher end Peruvian restaurant in Vancouver, and Suyo is much better in terms of food, service, and atmosphere - and for similar pricing. We essentially had a few of the same dishes at each place and went on a weeknight to both as a couple, so easy to compare. Ambiance/decor was nice. Only issue was that it was hard to hear. Maybe something about acoustics and where exactly people are sitting but my partner could barely hear where he was sitting and I could hear ok. Service was great. I think they could cut back on refilling the waters though. It was so often it started to become obtrusive. Otherwise very nice staff. Food was excellent. Presentation beautiful. Arrived quickly. Had: - classic ceviche with halibut: good but personally wouldn't get again as neither of us think halibut is best served in this way. - scallop tiradito: excellent, better than ceviche. Would get again - romaine heart lettuce: very good, nice sauce - prawn causa: beautiful and tasty, a little spicy - duck and rice (feature; not on menu): rice was excellent, the duck breast on top was nice but the dark meat that was mixed in the rice was much better - chicha morada poached pear: pear and its sauce was great; the rice panna cotta was good - chocolate tree leches: amazing! I normally don't like chocolate cake and I would go back just for this dessert. It was so flavourful and moist Drinks were good. Had the classic pisco sour and was very nice. Maybe a little on the small side though. Expensive. Portions are small, as expected for a place like this, so have to order quite a few dishes to fill up. Two of us had 4 small plates, 1 large plate, and a dessert each. Would definitely recommend for those who have the money. I'd go back for sure but would ask for the quietest seat. read more

Am writing this while my taste buds are still dancing from the meal I just had at Suyo. Everything we had was perfection on a plate. We were so impressed by the care and execution of each dish all of which were wholesome with exotic and exciting accents. Well balanced and portioned. Between the four of us, we ordered the halibut cerviche, scallop cerviche, beets, pork, octopus, crab cakes, duck, cauliflower steak, trifle and passionfruit cake. Just the right amount to be perfectly satisfied. Each dish was a winner, but we were in awe at the flavourful and tender octopus. The trifle was equally beautiful. Staff and service were fantastic. Such a great addition to Main Street. read more

Suyo 24th September The Good, the Bad and the Huh? My partner (who is German, and will be relevant later) and I (a misplaced Colombian) have enjoyed Peruvian food here in Vancouver is some places that are no longer in business (Chicha) or no longer offering Peruvian offerings (El Camino). We were therefore excited when we saw that a new 'modern peruvian' restaurant was opening on Main street. We had reservations for 8:30 on Saturday night and this is the review of our visit there. The interior space is well thought out and pleasant to enter. The décor is simple and modern. We were greeted by friendly staff and taken to a room at the back that was cozy and contained 6-7 tables. I was excited to see that they were offering Lomo Saltado so we decided to have that as our shared main. We saw that they were offering a staple in many Spanish speaking countries: Ensalada Rusa. For those of you who have not experienced a Spanish Russian salad it is a modified potato salad with the addition of peas, carrots, and sometimes meat of some sort. I love Ensalada Rusa so naturally I ordered it. We paired this with their basic Ceviche plate. The wine list is extensive, and we picked a bottle of red from Uruguay since we had not had wine from Uruguay before. The wine was good. Then came our first course. The ceviche was good, and if that is all we had had we would have been happy. At this point I must digress and talk about our overly friendly and loud waiter Andres (or Andreas, I did not catch the name exactly). Andres is loud and loud. He spoke loudly to us (on the border of shouting) and did it far too often. While conversing with Andres he found out that my partner was German. This resulted in each message from Andres being loudly conveyed in English, then slightly louder repeated to me in Spanish, then finally very loudly conveyed in German to my partner (She speaks English, and understands Spanish, so she already understood the message being conveyed). This continued for the whole evening. Ok back to the meal, remember I told you about Ensalada Rusa? Well, we did not get a Russian Salad, or at least we did not expect what we got. We got a beet salad with carrots and taro root crisps. Not a potato in sight, no mayonnaise. I was befuddled and immediately did a google search for the new Russian salad recipe since I obviously remembered incorrectly what a Russian salad was. No, the recipe had not changed. We did not get Russian Salad. We got a so-so beet salad that in no way delivered on the anticipation of experiencing another version of the delectable Ensalada Rusa we were expecting. So while we were being shouted at by the waiter, we ordered the chicken ravioli and the Lomo Saltado. Lomo Saltado is a unique Peruvian dish that contains stir-fried (Saltado means jumped and is a reference to the jumping of the steak in the wok) beef served over some potatoes and cooked vegetables. It is a scrumptious dish. We wondered at the offering since it was using tenderloin meat instead of a cheaper cut usually associated with this dish. The waiter took the opportunity to tell us about the Chinese migration to peru about 100 years ago and hence the birth of the Lomo Saltado. (He explained in English, Spanish, and German). The ravioli arrived and we were greeted by 4 ravioli that contained chicken and were served very dry over some sauce that had been placed on the plate. The filling of the ravioli was tasty, the dough on the ravioli was oddly textured and there was not enough sauce to make up for the dry dough on the ravioli. Having finished the ravioli, we were presented with the Lomo Saltado. Andres came in close and repeated the origin story for Lomo Saltado in English, Spanish (and I think maybe german again, but I am not sure). The meat was tender (duh, its tenderloin) and it was presented over some large wedge pieces of potato (not enough really). The Lomo Saltado was good, but definitely not worth the 68$ we paid for it. (I know, tenderloin,,,, but this dish does not need tenderloin) The Good: the restaurant space, the ceviche, the Lomo Saltado, and we learned Uruguay makes good wine. The Bad: being shouted at all evening, and the misrepresentation of the Russian salad. The Huh? That ravioli. There was nothing to make the dish memorably, Huh is exactly our reaction to it. We do not need to go back to this restaurant, it is overpriced, and the menu is odd. Right now it is the newest thing on the block and is full every evening. I hope they enjoy being the flavor of the month and that they are ready for improving their offering once they are no longer the latest thing. read more

Excellent! Went for my birthday and loved it. It's pricey, so keep that in mind, but order the steak.

Good service, atmosphere, and top-notch cocktails. The food is for the most part tasty, but some plates lacked flavor authenticity.

What a great experience! We ordered the tasting menu and it was amazing. The bartenders are top notch and serve up excellent cocktails all with a story to tell. Highly recommend, we will be back! read more

As a Peruvian, I must say this restaurant took me back home to all the amazing an authentic flavours with a modern and unique twist. I was able to try the classic ceviche, anticuchos de corazón, prawn causa, yuquitas and the lucuma dessert along with the oro and dune drinks. I was blown away, everything was extremely well prepared, authentic and upscale. Don't expect large portions, it's best to order a few different dishes and share. I will definitely be back to try all the other remaining dishes. This is now my new favourite spot in Vancouver! Highly highly recommend it. read more

First time at Suyo and it was definitely one of our more memorable dining experiences this year in Vancouver. Highly recommend for not only the amazing food but for the dining experience. Every dish came with a well curated explanation about what you were about to eat. The cocktail menu was presented by regions and listed by lightest to strongest. truly a great dining experience. We will be back! Thanks to Max, the bar manager for the great conversations. read more

Fantastic food, ambiance and space. Service was poised and the cocktails are worth trying too!

Wow is an understatement. Quickly became one of my favourite restaurants in Vancouver! Warm, lively ambiance. Delicious food which was refreshing, beautifully displayed and had local Peruvian touches throughout - must try's include the undergrowth cocktail and octopus anticuchero.
