We just arrived in Cusco following two beautiful nights in urubamba, in the sacred valley, a gorgeous place full of rich agriculture and livestock. We arrive at Rucula to find a menu of inspired dishes all prepared with organic produce and livestock from urubamba and the food did not disappoint. We had the trout and the pizza. The trout was perfectly cooked and served with delicious fresh sauce. The pizza was phenomenal, which I did not expect here in South America having come from chicago. Thanks so much to everyone at Rucula. We will be back!

While Yaku and Organika remain closed due to the pandemic, sister restaurant Rucula is open to serve fresh food and happy-hour cocktails. It's a three-storey building that fills up quickly on weekends; reservations can be made via Facebook.
The alpaca a la parrilla en salsa anticuchera was delicious, and the perfect amount of food - filling, but not too much so.
For dessert, the chocolate cake with quinoa and coca leaf was exquisite.
Greg and Ray were personable and provided great service.

I don't normally leave reviews but this place is outstanding! Desde el momento que entramos nos atendieron amablemente. Don't even get me started on the presentation. I was served a exquisite ceviche. I'm Peruvian so I'm a bit picky about ceviches flavor. This ceviche was the most delicious one I've tried in my life. It was served in a kind of stone as to preserve the cold temperature. I was never had to ask for more salsa. As I was running out of it the nice waiter would come to my table and ask me if everything was okay and would bring more local salsa. Today's is my birthday, they got the kind gesture to bring me a blueberry chocolate cake with coca powder on the side. Thank you so much Rucula for making thisday really special.

The service was more than great. Seriously A+
However, I was expecting so much more from the food. I ordered Papardelle con Ragú and as an Italian I was dissappointed. It was good, but not VERY good. It was a bit flavourless. Wished for more. Morover my friend found a hair in his Ravioli. The waiters were very sorry and gave us a really tasty dessert to say sorry, which we appreciated. However, foodwise I was not impressed unfortunately.

Certainly we are very sorry that they had no excellent experience. The whole team strives hard to do its best, just like your friend we ask for the judgments of the case.

The food was great, but the whole experience was unfortunately negatively impacted by the service. It was not that the service was poor, Whitnefer was kind and welcoming, but the service level tonight gave the impression that they were understaffed. We had to ask for cutlery once our food arrived and wait for an extended period of time to get our waiters attention once we had finished our meal and wanted to pay. To top it of, the noise level in the restaurant was unpleasant as the staff was trampling up and down the stairs attending to a larger party upstairs.

We visited Rucula for a quick lunch, we didn't expect much as we haven't loved most of the food in Peru however this place far exceeded our expectations. The place itself is has a modern but cosy atmosphere and when the food came it was so so beautifully presented and tasted amazing all the ingredients are organic and made to perfection by far the best meal we had in Cusco and the staff were all so friendly and attentive. We were served by Marina who was the kindest lady ever and so sweet. Would 1000% recommend when in Cusco.

What an experience!
From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, Cristian, who was serving us, was unbelievably helpful. Explained the dishes very well, gave his suggestions and even asked us if we wanted to move to another table for a better view. Super attentive.
The food was spectacular, and the portion of potatoes with ordered were some of the best we had in whole of South America.
Definitely recommend Rucula to anyone looking for good food in Cusco and if you come, ask for Cristian, he will be a super host 👍

We had a fantastic evening here - food was delicious and well priced vs other restaurants in the area. Fantastic location near the plaza de armas. The highlight was our restaurant Victor. He was incredibly attentive, brought refills of sauces before we had asked for them and even helped pack our luggage into our taxi when we left. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Cusco!

We so enjoyed our meal at Rucula! Three of us enjoyed different meals - quinoa chaufa (quinoa fried rice), Chicharron de Cerdo (pork belly), and Gnocchi with Mushroom Sauce...all were 5 stars! We also enjoyed our two desserts - Cheesecake de Lucma and Chocolate Cake. So well done all around! Great portions and tremendous value. Alberto was our Server - very attentive, responsive, and fast. He was assisted by two other servers (we didn't get their names) but everyone was so kind.

I enjoyed my experience at Rucula greatly. It was the first time I'd tried alpaca, and it exceeded my expectations. Victor Hugo was my server, he explained my choices and all the ingredients, offered very helpful advice on meat cooking, and left me feeling welcome and supported. I'll definitely return! mucho bueno!

We were looking for a good restaurant with interesting vegetarian options. We were warmly welcomed here by the head waiter and as it was quiet, we had a window table.
The menu was quite unusual with a variety of different dishes and we had alpacka brochette and a grilled vegetables dish. (the menu describes them more accurately)
The head waiter was friendly and made an effort to remember our names . He was knowledgable and the food was absolutely delicious. It is not typical peruvian food - :)
We were given a small, delicious dessert (on the house) after our meal. The bill was very reasonable especially compared to other supposedly 'good' restaurants.
All in all, an absolute treat and highly recommended

We originally wanted to visit Organika, but it was fully booked and we were referred to their sister restaurant Rucola! And we were happy they brought us there as it is an amazing place! The menu has really creative dishes, made from local produce. The beetroot ravioli was divine! Our favourite dessert was the tiramisu with a difference. We highly recommend this place!

Wonderful experience at Rucula with Victor. As our server. The restaurant is charming and in a wonderful location right outside of the main square of Cusco. Victor was very helpful by providing recommendations and insight about the food and ingredients. The food we ordered was really delicious, creative and filled with top-quality ingredients. Rucula‘s dishes include a lot of wonderfully fresh fruit and vegetable ingredients, and many vegan/vegetarian options. This is a great choice for couples, families or groups. And, their drinks were absolutely wonderful. They have two other restaurants in the area, and while we haven’t tried them yet, we plan to check them out ver the next week while we are here.

Speechless, the food is amazing. We went twice. The tiraditos and ceviche are great starters. For main I got the alpaca one day and the chicharrón (pork belly) thr second time and both were amazing. People is super nice and will help you understand the menu and give you great recommendations. It also has a great view of the plaza de armas.

Everything was fresh and delicious. Ruth was a great server with a lot of knowledge about the menu and ingredients, recommendations, and a very sweet personality. Also bilingual. Thank you Ruth! Going to daydream about papaya naranja juice forever now.
