What to Eat at Pisco
We hope you’re ready to try delicious Peruvian food with a unique Japanese twist, because Pisco brings a fusion of fares we’re certain you won’t find anywhere else in Orlando.
Much of Pisco Peruvian Gastrobar’s menu consists of dishes highlighting seafood. You can enjoy starters such as tequeños de king crab or plates of crispy rock shrimp bites. We tried the cheesy papas nativas and tequeños de king crab and were blown away by the blend of flavors.

There’s also a ceviche bar with white fish and octopus, as well as a sushi bar with tasty rolls and poke bowls. For some more options with larger portions, you can’t miss Pisco’s extravagant surf and turf menu with tastes of salmon tusan, ribeye anticuchero, and pescado frito.
If you’re not a fan of seafood (like myself), there’s a tasty rice and pasta section to choose from as well. We tried the raviolis al pesto, chaufa aeropuerto, and risotto del roro and savored every last bite of these delights.
