About Chimu bistro
Chimu bistro serves Peruvian staples in Brooklyn. The menu centers on ceviche and lomo saltado, with seafood at the core of the kitchen. It sits at 482 Union Ave, where the room pairs dining with outdoor seating and a backyard patio.
The kitchen also covers skirt steak, tacu tacu, jalea, and paella. Chimichurri appears across the table, and the drink list includes sangria, passionfruit mojitos, beer, cocktails, and wine.

Guests can dine in, take away food, or order delivery. The restaurant accepts reservations. Seating is available indoors and outside, giving the space two ways to settle in for a meal.
A meal can start with ceviche, then move into a grilled or sauced main. Seafood dishes sit beside steak plates, so the table can lean light or hearty. Drinks come with the meal, and dessert closes the visit. The patio gives diners an outside seat, while the indoor room keeps service centered on the table.

Patio tables and bookings
Outdoor seating gives the room another way to work. Some diners want a table inside, near the main dining area. Others want the patio and the open air. Seating is part of the visit either way, so the first part of the meal is simple: find the table, settle in, and decide how the rest of the evening should unfold.
Accepts reservations helps with planning around brunch or dinner. A booked table can remove the uncertainty of arrival, which matters when the plan centers on a set time and a full sit-down meal. The patio adds another choice without changing the service pattern. Guests can come for a quick meal or stay longer over a second round and dessert, and the room still keeps its table-first rhythm.

From the Menu
Daytime to dinner service
Brunch and dinner give Chimu bistro two clear meal windows. Brunch suits a later start, with plates ordered after arrival and served at a pace that fits the middle of the day. Dinner shifts the room into a longer sit-down meal, where guests can begin with drinks, move through the main course, and finish with dessert.
Alcohol, beer, cocktails, and wine round out the table. A drink can arrive before the food or with the first plates, and dessert gives the meal a final course instead of a hard stop. Delivery and takeaway add two off-site options for days when the table is not part of the plan. The restaurant keeps the same identity across each service: Peruvian food, seafood, and a dining room built for lingering over a meal.
