What travelers say:
Tanta is an authentic Peruvian restaurant. The chef owns more than 30 restaurants in 12 countries. The dishes are a fusion of multiple ethnic flavors. The appetizers are amazing. Pobre tender beef is topped with a raw quail egg. The rice is cooked and the texture is super rich! The scallops are also very creative. The meat is full of milky flavor but not fully cooked. It is very tender! Fried rice and sashimi platter are also worth a try. After all, they are the essence of Peruvian cuisine.

This has to be one of the best restaurants in Chicago. Reserve a table tonight. We flew into Chicago for a family celebration and reserved a table for eight at Tanta. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was fantastic. The design of the restaurant is warm and friendly, the staff is welcoming and professional, and the food is out of this world. Every dish surprised our taste buds and was presented so beautifully. Their Executive Chef Jesus Delgado is world class and he came to the table to introduce the courses. The sommelier blew us away with his creative wine selections, we have wine professionals in the house. The inspiration for his beef sake.
Peruvian cuisine from South America is better than expected. It is similar to Japanese-style braised beef, and is more flavorful and tender. The juice tastes average and is not freshly squeezed. The lychees in the lychee beef are of very good quality.
Here you can taste small and exquisite chocolate desserts, sweet corn cakes, and orange cakes combined with smoothies. Delicious pork fried rice with Asian flavors, fresh ceviche, sweet and sour and tender. There are also small special snacks such as banana chips and pies. You can also have great cocktails.
If you like seafood, you must come to this restaurant. Here you can eat a variety of delicious seafood dishes. The taste is very good. The chef's cooking skills are great and the original freshness of the seafood is preserved. In addition, spicy mayonnaise and banana chips are also provided, which you can eat as you like. The Spanish red wine here tastes very positive and pure.
The main cuisine is a mix of Peruvian and Asian flavors. It is a good place to date with friends. The decoration of the restaurant is very suitable for young people. There is also a bar on the rooftop where you can order your favorite drinks. The pie here is highly recommended and tastes good. At the same time, the crispy quinoa and mousse are also worth a try.
