Highly recommended, Pacha was our choice for the big night out in Cusco. They seemed to be out of everything. No chicken, no ceviche, no cuy, no duck. Of the 6 entrees we ordered, only the Lomo Saltado had any flavor. My lamb dish was terribly overcooked, a small portion in a tasteless sauce. Two of our group, who can... more

I guess this place means father earth in Quechuan. On our finally night in Peru we finally had a chance to try some of the more exotic traditional Peruvian cuisine. The famous recreation of the Last Supper painted by Marcos Zapatas which hangs in the Cathedral here in Cusco prominently displays a Cuy in the middle of the table and... more

Located right in the heart of San blas this is a great restaraunt with both local peruvian cuisine and more international flavours as well. Indoor or Outdoor seating and excellent lemonade. more

Pacha Y Papa was just a fantastic dining experience all around. The ambiance was great. The food was unique and well prepared, and the service was outstanding. During my visit there was a local musician playing a peruvian harp-like instument throughout lunch. I had some kind of Peruvian Crawfish soup (see picture) with Cholo corn, and fresh bread right out... more

Although this was definitely better than average, I just can't bring myself to give it four or five stars. Frankly, I thought the food was just alright. I had the adobo de chancha and some appetizer that I can't recall (I guess it was forgettable). They were good, but nothing worth raving about. But the dining area, which is outdoors,... more

Don't miss the adobo de chancha -- pork in chicha and chiles -- the best. Also, great pizza. Our best meal in Peru. more

My second night in Cusco I stumbled upon this gem in the Plazoleta San Blas. I found it so delicious that I returned three times in the next four nights (I wish I'd made it four out of four). I found the service absolutely impeccable, both solicitous and not too obtrusive and the food truly memorable. The menu is more... more

As soon as we had our first meal at this charming restaurant we immediately made reservations for dinner the next night. On our second visit the couple at the table next to ours did exactly the same thing! Our only regret is that we didn't find this place sooner. While there are several "fancy" restaurants in Cusco we felt they... more
