Situated in Forest Hills, Queens, our cozy venue is inspired by the idea of exhibiting the essential manifestations of pre-Hispanic Peruvian art and offering a culinary experience full of history and flavor. Our goal is to engage with the community and make them proud of our commitment to high-quality food and service, with a diverse menu that ranges from the famous ceviche to different preparations of meats, sauces, and drinks.
Our beverages range from popular Peruvian soft drinks, like the purple corn lemonade, to creative cocktails prepared with exotics fruits from all over the continent and the national liqueur of Peru: El Pisco. This colorless spirit made of grape juice has become the “next big thing” in the US, and we are taking it to the next level by infusing it with fruits such as golden berries, passion fruit, pineapple, and ginger. K’antu’s signature cocktail menu is full of unique tastes. of meats, sauces, and “Pisco” signature drinks, a Peruvian brandy.

    Close to perfect… a group of us were able to get a nice table, last minute, at Kantu after friends recommended it. The clean decor pulls off a modern and welcoming feel, but it was the attentive staff, great food and drinks that left us feeling like we need to go back. We shared empanadas and tostones, then enjoyed quality ceviche or fish soup - all yummy. A few rounds of pisco sours and sangria brought the tab to $90pp but without alcohol prices are reasonable for the fresh, high quality seafood we enjoyed. Recommend

    Kantu is a very comfortable place to have dinner. I went with my kids and we were treated with kindness from the staff. The drinks are amazing and the food is out of this world. I have eaten in many Peruvian restaurants around queens, including pío pío, but kantu has become my number 1 spot to eat Peruvian food. And let’s not talk about their weekend menu 🤤

    We didn’t know that the lunch special was not offered on holidays so we were unprepared for such a high bill . They should have it listed on their page so as to not catch customers off guard, but everything else was great

    What a wonderful place! Had a lovely dinner there with my husband last week. The food and drinks were delicious. My favorite was the marinated skirt stake. They have an extensive wine list and an expansive bar with fun drinks. Desert was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful with a lot of natural light from their beautiful skylight. Jasmine and the staff were great and create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

    I met up with tell friends for dinner here recently. The location is great for drivers to get to. The paintings and decor create a warm atmosphere. The staff were polite and helpful. We all really enjoyed our meals. We would come here again or recommend Kantu to other people.
