Pio Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken

This is a place that could be easy to overlook given it’s unassuming location. Once inside you will feel the difference as the decor is simple and bright, creating a light pleasant atmosphere with an Andean flair. The slide show on the HD tv is...pretty to watch. The menu is well laid out with the dishes explained – the quartet of young ladies (especially Abril) serving were attentive and willing to answer any queries.

Located in a strip mall not far from Sunridge Mall, is this great Peruvian eatery. You walk into a very clean and very brightly coloured restaurant and are greeted by a very friendly server, Abril, with a big smile and a bigger welcome.

I'm a fanatic of Pio's delicious lomo saltado. The family ate again on Sunday, Peru's independence day, but most opting for the new polo saltado. I went for my old favourite and was a little disappointed to find that the quality of beef was not...quite as good as in the past. But still my favourite. To start off with we had the Pio size ceviche (extra spice) a great light starter that cam with yucca frita to prepare for the main course. Pio isn't cheap but the quality of the food is worth it.
