My son and I ate lunch here while we were in the area. I cannot say enough good things about our experience!

Cozy place, very good service, they treated me very well both times I went. As a recommendation, they should improve the atmosphere of the place, for example, playing traditional Peruvian music. The two times I went and brought foreign friends, 90s techno music was playing, not bad, but knowing that it is the only Peruvian restaurant in Kitchener, I would have liked them to have a total experience. The delicious food!!

We went there for anniversary for the first time. It was amazing. It's a small restaurant, but it's filled with atmosphere. The owner is extremely welcoming and friendly. We weren't familiar with Peruvian foods so she took the time to explain different tastes to us. Very attentive and friendly.The good portions were huge. The meats were tender and well spiced. She mentioned to us they are locally sourced and organic. You could definitely tell they were better cuts of meats.The menu is extremely affordable. I was shocked at how little the bill was ( just left us room to give a more generous tip ☺️).I can honestly say this was the best Latin food I've tried in Kitchener. You won't be disappointed.

What a gem! Peruvian (genuine, not "based on true story) restaurant! Where?! - Here in Kitchener! Today my daughter and I finally committed to go to La Crema. We lucked out since it was not busy and we enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the freshest and tastiest food. (Did I mention it was an authentic Peruvian food?) Since everything must be prepared fresh from scratch one should expect some waiting (for people on the run there's Shawarma place right next door). Louis and Louisa make a wonderful family, owners, chef and a hostess. We are so grateful for them bringing this wonderful Peruvian taste and experience to our town.I deliberately avoid mentioning what exactly we ordered because based on our impression we decided to keep coming with friends and family until at least we go through every item on the menu.

Authentic Peruvian food. Delicious and quick. A must try! You won't be disappointed!
We had dinner at La Crema for the first time tonight. The service and meals were absolutely wonderful! We shared the ceviche for an appetizer and the seafood mix plate. Portion sizes are very generous. Our server was great. We will be back again.

The food was great. Main dishes came wildly apart so I almost finished my meal before my date got hers. We shared mine and shared hers and made the most of it though. Attached is friend fish and cassava fries. Excellent with the mayo provided.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly space and noise is not an issue

Was just passing by Kitchener and my family and I were craving some Peruvian food. I am pleased to say we came across a wonderful place with equally as wonderful staff. The owners were so welcoming and friendly. We had multiple fun conversations with them. The food itself tastes very authentic and tasty.Would most definitely come back if I pass by Kitchener :))

Yummy food but the service was really slow. My husband received his order before me and finished his dinner before mine ever came out… we then had to ask where my order was. Food should be served at the same time or at least communicated if there was a mistake.
