Great Peruvian restaurant ! They have gluten and lactose free options :) and the staff is always very warm and welcoming. The ceviche, causa de pollo, anticuchos and crema volteada were so good!

This place is a gem. Great food and service. Loved the cebiche de pescado (snapper ceviche).. Tip: if you are with a group, get a 'main' serve and share (staff are very accommodating). The seafood stew (Seco de pescado), also a treat, saucy with rice and and a chunk of steamed cassava....mops up well. Anticucho ( beef heart skewers) thin slices of skewered beef was perfect with the salsa del rocoto (chilli sauce)... Don't be chicken, get it. The steamed banana leaf parcel (Tamal con zarza criolla) and Papa rellena very nice too. Save space for dessert... We had the Suspiro a la limena ( caramel with a meringue cream all in a glass, really nice, sweet ) and the Tres Leches... OK... When you read 'sponge cake soaked in 3 milks' you think.. 'no thanks'... BUT luckily the waitress recommended it... It's amazing! Thank you for that. Finally.. The staff /owner whipped up arepas for us (traditional flat breads, pan fried)... .. Cheesy with smashed avocado, and not on the menu... A must and again, thank you so much! And all washed down with the fruity sangria jug. We'll be back to work through the menu...

The two ladies who served us was friendly. We ordered the beef heart. I don't usually eat hearts but this was really good. Also hot the steamed corn. My bf got the Lomo Saltado which was so tasty!!! He got full, so I finished it off cos you can't let the sauce and steak go to waste! The fried pork belly was good too, but a bit of salt or sauce to dip with would be good.

We just had another wonderful meal at Inti. We can never resist the steak dish or the scallops, but this time we all shared the empanada as well. There’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s invited!!! Thanks Inti. We came specially to celebrate a life-changing moment and we had a fabulous time. See you again soon.

I had a wonderful experience at Gourmet Melbourne. The service was attentive and very friendly, making me feel welcome from the start. I loved finding Peruvian beers and Inka Kola on the menu, which gave a unique touch. The food was delicious, authentic, and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!
