Kantu Forest Hills: All-Day Happy Hour Mon–Thu, $10 Pisco Drinks
Kantu, a Peruvian restaurant at 105-07 Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills, runs happy hour all day Monday to Thursday, with its pisco cocktails at $10 instead of $15. Friday is two-for-one sangria all day, and selected bottles of wine are half price on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The verdict: a third off a pisco cocktail, all day, four days a week, is a real deal and not a gesture. Add the $15 weekday lunch and it’s one of the better-value restaurants on this end of Metropolitan Avenue. It closes at 9pm most nights, so “all day” ends earlier than it does at a bar.
The Happy Hour
- Monday to Thursday: all day
- Pisco cocktails $10 (regular $15): Chinka (purple corn), Piscorindo (tamarind), Pisco K’antu (passion fruit), Luisa de Menta (lemongrass, mint) and Piñata (pineapple, ginger)
- Friday: sangria two-for-one, all day
- Tuesday and Wednesday: selected wine bottles half price
The Restaurant
Peruvian plates such as seco de cabrito ($29), chicharrón ($25), lomito al jugo ($21) and a quinoa omelette ($19). The weekday lunch special, noon to 3:30pm, is a main with soup or salad for $15. Open noon–9pm Monday to Thursday, noon–10pm Friday, 9am–10pm Saturday and 9am–9pm Sunday.
