Tanta is dedicated to sharing the flavors and culture of Peru with Chicago, serving authentic Peruvian dishes and beverages in an approachable, fun and casual downtown setting. We provide service that is casual yet knowledgeable, genuine and attentive, utilizing locally sourced products and vendors that are sensitive to sustainable farming and fishing.

Tanta has two Chef’s Tables that each seat up to 10 people. These tables are located in our main dining room in between our open kitchen and cebiche bar which allows you and your guests to experience our chefs creating Peruvian cuisine while you dine.

The menu, created by Acurio and Tanta Chicago Chefs Jesus Delgado and Jose Cubas, takes diners on a voyage through Peru via its food. From the Pacific Ocean, through the Andes, to the desert, to the Amazon, Tanta celebrates the diverse landscape and ethnicities that make up Peru’s culture.

    Upscale Peruvian cuisine. They have 4-5 different kind of ceviche. The ceviche is not that big, if you eat alot you probably need to order 2. It is kinda pricey but it is in downtown. Pisco sour is strong. For $16 they make sure you get every ounce of pisco that can fit in the glass.

    I wish I caught the name of our waiter as he was just wonderful. Explained the menu in depth and was clearly excited to share the food experience at Tanta. Nice physical space. A tad loud. Food was excellent. Portions are large. Would recommend and also would go back.

    Was very expensive for the experience. Food was brought to our table out of order off the menu. No real walking through what the dishes were or the wine we were tasting. They also abruptly mixed one wine I was still drinking with the next wine of the tasting menu. Didn’t seem like they should be doing 4 course dinners. Good memory for us though on what not to pick for a romantic dinner! Tanta is great normally. I recommend it a lot. Just avoid Tanta for any set menus or events.

    IF ONLY they would turn the volume down on the music…it is meant to be “background music” while dining, not music for a dance venue. Otherwise, SIX STARS on a spectacular Valentine’s Day dining experience!!!

    Good food, really small portions, ambiance was not there at all especially for Valentine’s Day. It was too bright. Tables were squished together way too close. Good value for Valentine’s Day but wish the menu had some variety.
