What is Paracas Peruvian Cousine? Holding down St. Clair Avenue West near Oakwood since 1999, Paracas Peruvian Cousine is a time-tested fixture in Corso Italia. Inside, the room is cozy and unpretentious, appointed with understated Andean artwork, warm lighting, and classic tablecloth seating. Operated with personal warmth by its longtime owners, it functions as a dependable anchor for traditional, homestyle South American cooking.
Paracas Peruvian Cousine Menu & What to Order The kitchen focuses on coastal and Andean standards, anchored by citrus-cured Ceviche de Pescado served with choclo corn and sweet potato. Start with the grilled Anticuchos—tender beef heart skewers marinated in aji panca and vinegar—before moving to wok-tossed Lomo Saltado or the crisp Jalea Mixta. For colder days, the Parihuela seafood soup delivers a rich, restorative broth loaded with shellfish and white fish. Wash everything down with an egg-white-frothed Pisco Sour or chilled chicha morada.
Know Before You Go Because dishes are made from scratch and table count is limited, calling ahead for a reservation is recommended during weekend dinner rushes. The 512 St. Clair streetcar stops steps from the entrance, and paid Green P street parking lines the avenue. The kitchen takes a midday break between lunch and dinner on weekdays and remains closed on Tuesdays.
