19 ACDC Lane Melbourne 3000 Victoria, Australia 03 9662 4556 http://pastuso.com.au https://www.facebook.com/pastusorestaurant This is my first time trying Peruvian food so I am unable to tell if it is authentic. I would highly recommend that you go for the entree dishes and stay away from the mains (there are not that many options for main and I personally think that the entree dishes are more tasty and gives you the opportunity to try a variety of Peruvian dishes).
