Passed by few times but didn't try. Finally this time we did, and no regrets at all! Recommend to reserve your seats. Location, right at Dempsey so ideal for those with car and free parking. A little challenging for the rest, there are public buses but need to walk in. There's free shuttle buses to the area, check out the time table and pick up lo... see more

Had a lovely dinner with a friend last night. While walking through the back area of Dempsey, we discovered a peaceful and beautiful CANCHITA Peruvian cuisine. We didn't have a reservation action but were warmly welcomed and got a table as long as we finished before 7.30pm- really appreciated the manager's flexibility! The ambience was cozy, and th... see more

20 July 2025 First time to have a Peruvian dinner. I have no idea what sort of food they are serving. We order what the waiters recommended, mostly with the stars on the menu. Most of the food is pretty good. But some of the sauces are too sour for us. Love their octopus, tender, and not tough or chewy. That's really surprising for us. Cause us... see more

Food was amazing, service was impeccable and the ambience was stunning. There is this grilled octopus that is on the dinner menu (but not on the lunch menu) - but you can still order it. MUST ORDER! We probably order every single one of their ceviches, and Classico was an absolute HIT! 💯 Rest are also very good. Chicken was a bit dry.

Canchita has been on my to-visit list for awhile and it certainly did not disappoint. The food was exceptional of course (strongly recommend the grilled octopus and fish tacos) but what really stood out was the service from Fiona. She elevated the dinning experience with her knowledge of Peruvian cuisine, special care to details and overall hospita... see more

First time having Peruvian cuisine. The food was amazing at Canchita. Their Ceviche Classico is a must order. The Lomo Saltado ie stir fry wagyu beef and the pasta Huacaina were also really good. I will recommend for a cosy evening dinner place for couples or small group of friends.
