Citrico

Perfect experience for my partner and my first date night since covid - wowsers…food was exceptional, pricing/portion size masterful ( which shows just how on point these guys are IMO) We indulged in cocktails as well and the flavour balance and presentation was also excellent. Customer service, attentive without being ott. Since my experience, I have recommended this place to four couples in the few days post dining in. 10 stars out of 5 ( I have no affiliation with this restaurant-my partner is a chef and I’m also heavily involved in hospo )

Amazing food! Very, very tasty. This is a quality restaurant where the portions are small but you are paying for the flavor, the quality and specially the experience. If you are looking for the massive chicken Parma that cost $20 at your local pub... avoid this place. Amazing service, amazing food, definitely a real gem in Melbourne !

The first mouthful made me audibly gasp "Wow". I went with some extended family; we got a bunch of share plates. The standouts were these fried chickpea cubey things; and the ceviche. Each dish was a delight; beautiful contrasting flavours. You could tell that everything on the menu was carefully designed and took a lot of thought and consideration. Service was also amazing. And the price was unreal considering the quality of the food.

First time going to a Peruvian restaurant and we had a great experience. We ordered a set menu and all the dishes were delicious! They came in in small portions and it was good because we could eat everything without being too full. The steak and the empanadas were my favourites certainly. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They kept refilling our drinks and changing our cutleries and plates. If you never tried any Peruvian dishes, this restaurant is worth a visit.

In the words of our dinner date guests: "In the top 5 restaurants in Melbourne!" The steak was to die for, the sweet potato entree worth writing home to the whole village about, and the service is impeccable. Do yourself a massive self-love favour and get to Citrico. Stat. Now. You. Will. Love. It. ♥️

3.8. We had the set menu here for our group Xmas celebration. First offering was a platter of meats, pickled vegetables and Peruvian flatbread. Next up was ceviche with corn and a hint of chilli. Slow roasted pork with orange and empanadas and a nice tomato salsa followed. That was our highlight dish of the night. We loved it. Next course was BBQ steak with chimichurri sauce. BBQ chicken with spicy sauce came next. There were sides as well. Lightly roasted sweet potato with yoghurt and a mixed salad. Dessert was doughnuts with cinnamon honey and chocolate dipping sauce. The decor here is lovely. Stylish with good lighting. The courtyard out the back looked very enticing too. Service was good overall. The staff were pleasant and efficient. The set menu at $55 is good value. It’s not fine dining. It’s more comfort food but it’s good. Nice place. I’d go back for the empanadas.
