Don Lucho’s Restaurant & Pisco Bar: Experience Authentic Peruvian Cuisine in Seattle

Hidden gem, among the best places to get amazing food at a laidback/relaxed location in Seattle. I’ve eaten at this location 3-4 times, and even had these folks cater my wedding back in 2018! If you’ve never had Peruvian food, this is the place to try it. If you’ve had Peruvian food but are tired of overpaying for small portions of no traditional presentations at some of the “fancier” Peruvian spots in the area - Don Lucho’s will restore your faith in Peruvian food. Atmosphere is relaxed, service is friendly and fast. Recommend the pisco sour, ceviche, and aji de gallina.

It is difficult to find Peruvian food in Seattle let alone good Peruvian food. Well, Don Lucho's hits the mark on both fronts! Everything we have had here has been good, but our favorites are the Saltados. Also, the employees are really nice. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s still my favorite spot! The food is always fresh and authentic. You can truly taste the love in every dish, and the staff makes you feel like family every time.

The portions, service and most importantly the quality of food you get is worth the price. I came to Seattle to visit and where im from no one has nailed Peruvian food like Don Lucho’s has. 3 weeks later I’m still thinking of that ceviche and octopus! la causa acevichada. JUST WOW! Lomo saltado and anticuchos were also so really good. I almost just want to move back to Seattle so I can come back every weekend.

Nice atmosphere, 3 or 4 separate sections, so good variety of seating options- indoor, patio, and covered picnic tables. The food was very good! The steak was perfectly cooked in our dishes, flavors were excellent! The pasta was something returning for alone! My son in law got sandwich and fries, the fries are double fried- super crispy and delicious!! Definitely going to be returning when we are back in the area.

I am a Peruvian food fan and can say the quality and flavors here match my 2 favorite fine dining Peruvian restaurants. They have all the classics, I got one of the ceviches and the fish was great and side of fried calamari also great.

I finally got the chance to try Peruvian food and what better place than Don Lucho’s. I had the duo which is a fresh made ceviche and the rice with seafood. Both were packed with lots of flavor, absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back with friends and family.

I'm originally from Peru and this is a solid choice if you want to try some Peruvian food in Seattle. MUST HAVE: Lomo Saltado. Juicy, full of flavor, tender. Definitely have to try it if you go. The ceviche wasn't bad but it felt like there was a tad too much lime compared to the seasonings. The ratio felt a bit off. This was the standard ceviche not the spicy version. Chica morada (drink) was not bad but was missing some of the apple and sweetness to it. Plantains were hot. Not my favorite but the person I came with was a fan. Alfajores were too delicate and crumbled in hand. Good flavor but broke so easily. Perhaps because they were thinner than normal. Need some thickness so it doesn't fall apart easily. Traditional alfajores keep their consistency.
