PAPA LLAMA

"This place is fantastic! All the dishes were full of flavour, in the best possible way. It’s not very spicy, just absolutely delicious. It’s family style service, so shared dishes, and it’s in a plaza (strip mall), but don’t let that dissuade you. The atmosphere inside is comfortably casual, but if you dress up you won’t be out of place. Note that there is no a la carte menu. You get what they are serving, and for me every course was great, incorporating variations in flavour, texture, and temperature, all beautifully presented. Highly recommended."

"Absolutely delicious! Each dish was prepared with so much attention to detail and cooked perfectly. We did the wine pairing which was on point and worth the price. The fried rice was the best I have ever had and the mixture of flavors left us wanting another serving. It is the perfect place for a special occasion, intimate, inviting, but not pretentious. I can’t wait for another special occasion so I have a chance to go back."

"It was my husbands turn for our surprise date night and I was pleasantly surprised! We don’t frequent this area and this place is very unassuming, but we had a phenomenal experience! Our server (Amanda) was attentive, entertained my husbands silly jokes, and very informative on the background of the restaurant as well as each dish, which we love. It was fun going to a place with no options to order, they just serve what they serve. I was slightly worried with only 5 courses still being hungry when we left, but we were both happily stuffed. They serve natural wines, which was interesting to try. Highly recommend checking this place out!"

"We came here last night for my birthday dinner. It was my first time and most certainly will not be my last! We were blown away by every dish of the prix fixe. The combination of flavors and impeccable presentation was delectable! I respect the thoughtful attention to detail. Not only that, but they accommodated my dietary restrictions which I greatly appreciated. Truly an amazing culinary experience. Maria and Kevin have something so special here. I am excited to see their continued growth and success!!"

"I made a reservation here for a nice date night for my partner and I. We showed up a little early and they seated us right away. The servers were extremely knowledgeable and professional. We felt taken care of from the time we sat down and the owner herself was very friendly and helpful, as well! The owner is a woman and her husband cooks. It is a very comfortable vibe and nothing to be turned off from due to its odd geographical position off of Curry Ford Rd. I will state that the $75 tasting menu, I thought included wine— it did not. I walked out of the restaurant with a $300 tab after tip and cannot say the food and drink came close to that price, but the experience certainly did. If you want to drop a hot penny and enjoy an exclusive experience, it is worth checking out once or twice. I was also appreciative that they provided my partner with a double portion of shrimp, since she does not eat meat. Thanks Papa Llama!"
