Our Story

Meet Héctor and María

Héctor and María are the people behind Terrace. If you've been here before, you've probably had a chat with Héctor or seen María having a laugh with someone. Terrace is family-owned and run by Peruvians, and has been part of the Milton community for years.

Family-run in Milton

At the counter

People come in for a quick coffee and end up staying for a chat.

You'll see office workers grabbing a coffee, families in for lunch, and plenty of Peruvians and Latin Americans who come for the food they grew up with.

Perú en la mesa

The food

The kitchen cooks Peruvian food, things like lomo saltado, ají de gallina, seco de res and ceviche, and the serves are generous. Pisco sour and cocktails are on the menu too, and there's Inca Kola in the fridge.

Del pasillo a la mesa

Inside an office building

Terrace is inside an office building on Lang Parade. The coffee van sits out the front for people on their way to work, and the café is through the building at the back.

How to Find Us

Now and then

Music, dancing and the odd celebration.

Every so often there's music on. It might be salsa, karaoke, a birthday or a Peruvian or Latin get-together, and everyone's welcome. It doesn't happen every week.

Sometimes a special guest brings picarones. When they're on, you'll hear about it.

Café open Monday to Saturday

Come by for lunch.
