This past weekend (well if you include Thursday as the start of the weekend) we hit up the Peruvian restaurants at St Claire and Bathurst.
In the blue corner, El Plebeyo an unknown in the contest challenging for dominance of the Peruvian scen from the St. Claire and Bathurst area. And in the red corner, El Fogon, the defending champion.
El Plebeyo started off strong - it was open, while El Fogon was on vacation. But after that opening salvo things went downhill quickly. They had a massive menu and things were expensive. Lomo Saltado was 16 bucks! Janice had the slightly cheaper Tacu Tacu We got over the price and ordered but things continued to get worse. It took a while and it wasn't all that great. Bottom line, not a strong showing.
El Fogon on the other hand fought viciously for the title. Their lomo saltado was 12 and it was tasty and served quickly. At least the time sure passed quickly thanks to the tasty Papas a la Huancaina I had as an appetizer.
Bottom line, El Fogon is still the champ so it keeps the title of best Peruvian restaurant in the TO.
