Alpamayo - LEE

If you're looking for authentic Peruvian cuisine in Lee, Massachusetts, Alpamayo is the place to be. My recent experience at this restaurant was very good. From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. And the food? Absolutely delicious. The beet and goat cheese salad was a standout for me the flavors were perfectly balanced, and it was a great way to start the meal. But the real star of the show was the Lomo Saltado it's the most popular dish in Peru for a reason. It's kind of like Peruvian poutine, with tender beef, french fries, and a rich, flavorful sauce that will leave you craving more. And if you're a seafood fan, the Paella is also worth trying it has fresh seafood and bursting with flavor. The interior design of the restaurant is simple and clean, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. And the staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by Alpamayo you won't be disappointed!

I was looking forward to the seafood paella dish but it was bland and had very little seafood in it. I asked for something to spice it up. My friend ordered the salmon dish and much of it was raw. The service was fine. Probably will not go here again.

Dimly lit intimate space...you will experience traditional music, TV futbol games, drink and fare of Peru with a smattering of Americano. Polite service, be patient with prep. A complimentary snack of roasted corn is offered. The mixed seafood civiche is served with corn and roasted yucca and topped with sliced red onion. I ordered the seafood paella which had calamari, clam, mussels and shrimp. The rice was bright almost turmeric like also topped with thin sliced red onion. They also use Peas and carrots which are Al dente. I would definitely recommend trying this place and tip of the day is don't miss the the passion fruit pisco (Maraguya) or the cusequna beer (very malty).

What a delicious surprise! We've seen this spot for years when visiting the Berkshires, but never went in. We were actually searching Yelp for dinner ideas nearby and saw the great ratings Alpamayo had- so we decided on giving it a try, and are so glad we did! We started with a beet and apple salad topped with goat cheese crumbles, which was delicious and healthy, then shared the seafood paella and the lomo saltado. The paella was good, although a bit more seafood would have been nice. The lomo saltado was new to both of us and was very good! The beef had great flavor and the sauce really complemented both the sweet sautéed onions and the crispy fries. Sadly, no room for dessert.

We ordered the seafood paella and grilled steak. Both of them were the absolutely delicious. This was the best paella I've had in Massachusetts! It was a hot summer day and the staff recommended the Chicha Morada. This was our first time trying this drink and it was so heavenly! The perfect blend of spices and sweetness. We had a glass each. But I could just drink a whole pitcher of it! I hope we go back soon.
