The owner of the hotel we were staying at insisted we try Huacatay, and boy was he right. The restaurant is hidden away on a side street, and completely unprepossessing from the exterior. The interior is better, in a generic-fancy-restaurant way. But it's the food that sets El Huacatay apart. Everything we had there was astonishingly good. Not just because... more

Great small restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Just to try this restaurant its worth the trip to Urubamba. Do not miss it. Novoandina food (combination of Peruvian food with International twist) Pio is a great cheff. more

We just got back from the El Huacatay restaurant and I have to say that the food and service was really great. We got back from our day tour and the restaurant in our hotel (Sol y Luna at Urubamba) was closed, 3pm and we had to go and eat somewhere. I knew this restaurant from the posts in TA... more

In all respects this restaurant would rate highly anywhere; that it happens to be situated on an out-of-the-way side street in the little Sacred Valley town of Urubamba makes it as much of an anomaly as it is a treat. The food is Nueva Andena (dunno if that's an established term, but it describes what we ate): local and traditional... more

We had been walking the ruins of the Valley all day and had had no time for lunch. It was 5pm. The owner of a bar/restaurant (that was closed that day) on the main road recommended this place. He said "if you just want a meal, there are a lot of places. If you want an experience, go to Huacatay".... more

My husband and I ate here on the recommendation of our hotel owner. We were absolutely stunned to find a restaurant of this caliber in Urubamba. It just doesn't fit. But it was there, and we were so glad. This was far and away the best meal we had in Peru, which is saying a lot, because we had lots... more

Outragous!

That is what my twin flame from Peru, whom owns a B&B in Urubamba was saying. I'm thinking outragous, in what way? Price, location, scenery? No, it's the true Andrean food, and it was wonderful, magnificient, stupendous, and I would use outragous now! Thanks Isabel, for the wonderful recommendation. We ate outside, looking at the gardens....... more
