Machu Picchu Restaurant — Restaurant in Oakville

My wife and I used to enjoy this place, but after a few years away from Oakville, on our return, the experience just isn't what it used to be.

It used to be a friendly place, and we had always enjoyed the experience.

But something has happened. The food has changed from once being excellent, now to so-so. For example, the Milano de Pollo used to be a nice butterflied seared chicken breast with some great dipping sauces, etc. Now it is a schnitzel, and we had to literally argue with the waitress to bring out some sauces, and she refused to acknowledge they ever had them. Finally she relented, and brought them out, but not after a lot of back and forth. She also forgot to bring out the salad.

My wife had some sort of rice pilaf, that was supposed to have chicken, shrimp and beef, but there was barely any meat, with only 1-2 pcs of each. I gave her some of my chicken.

One of our appetizers was still frozen on the inside.

Of the two waitresses that served our table, one was surly, and the other just plain rude.

They forgot to bring out the drinks on several occasions, and we also had to plead with them to bring us a refill of water to sooth our poor throats from having to yell over the DJ.

The "DJ" is some cast-off from a 1-star resort, deciding that two people on the dance floor was too many, and the best way to drive away the paying customers was to crank the volume up as loud as possible so that no one at our table (or any others) were able to talk.

Other tables thought the volume was excessive as well, as evidenced by them covering their ears with their hands. They decided to pack it in as well around the same time.

I used to like this place, and have been there at least 10 times in the past, and this is not the restaurant we knew. Perhaps the management has changed? Or maybe they no longer care.

Our friends who joined us are Spanish, and came away not being very impressed at all.

We've spent quite a fair amount at this restaurant over the years, but will never...

Machu Picchu, a Peruvian culinary haven tucked away in Oakville, Ontario, is a dining experience that transcends expectations and elevates the palate. From the moment you step inside, you are transported to the mystical charm of Peru, with its rustic decor and warm, inviting ambiance. The food at Machu Picchu is nothing short of exceptional. Their ceviche is a masterpiece, featuring impeccably fresh seafood delicately marinated in zesty lime juice and adorned with crispy corn and creamy avocado. It's a symphony of flavors and textures that dances on your taste buds. The Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian stir-fry, is an absolute must-try. Tender strips of beef sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices create a harmonious dish that's both comforting and exotic. The fusion of ingredients is a testament to the chef's expertise. What truly sets Machu Picchu apart is their commitment to authenticity. The menu showcases Peruvian classics with unwavering dedication to traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients. The attentive staff add to the charm of the place. They are not only knowledgeable about the cuisine but also passionate about sharing their culture through food. Their warm hospitality makes the dining experience all the more memorable. Machu Picchu also offers a delightful selection of Peruvian beverages, including the iconic Pisco Sour, which pairs perfectly with the meal. Machu Picchu is a culinary gem in Oakville, offering a genuine taste of Peru. Whether you're a seasoned Peruvian cuisine enthusiast or a curious food explorer, a visit to Machu Picchu promises a memorable and delectable journey through the flavors of Peru. It's a dining destination that will have you coming...

First time here and I enjoyed my visit. It was a Saturday night and although they were busy service was fast and great! Food portion is very good.

I'm a big fan of pisco sour and I have been to many Peruvian restaurants in Toronto and by far Machu Picchu Restaurant serves the best one thus far! Good size and amazing taste! 👏🏼

I read some reviews below and I tested some of the complaints like water and I got my water right away and no issues at all. Even asked for water with lime and it came fast.

I gave it a 4 star only because they include tips in the bill. To be honest I felt service and food was worth the trip to Oakville especially that I came from Scarbourgh just to dine here but I wanted to tip perhaps more than was included. It turned me off when I saw it included in the bill so perhaps next time if they remove it from the bill I will tip higher since I enjoyed everything about this place. Also tips shouldn't be mandatory but optional based on service. Just saying ....

Overall I would highly recommend this place. Come on Saturday nights as they have live music and dancing. You will have a blast!

Thank you Machu Picchu Restaurant!!! Keep up the good service...
