5 BEST RESTAURANTS IN CUSCO


Deep within the Peruvian Andes, Cusco, Peru once hailed as the capital of the Incan Empire. Today, Cusco has grown famous for its archeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture. People from around the world flocking to visit. To please these visitors, Cusco restaurants serve up plenty of both local and international options.

The variety of foods available in the city make deciding where to eat in Cusco challenging. Here, you can find everything from Peruvian cuisine to Italian restaurants, fine dining and even one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever tried.

Read on to discover my favourite places to eat in Cusco, Peru!

 

#1 Limbus RestoBar

The Limbus Restobar is one of the most popular locations among the locals. With a fun, contemporary feel and impressive list of innovative cocktails, you will not leave disappointed.

The passionate owner founded the bar in 2013 because he enjoyed mixology and wanted to combine it with his love for Peruvian cooking. In addition to the great menu and quality service, Limbus also boasts what many consider the best view of the city—totally worth the climb up to check it out for yourself!

#2 Green Point Vegan Restaurant

Green Point is extremely passionate about producing high quality vegan food. They believe living vegan should not require you to give up taste and quality when you’re dining out. Even though I’m not vegan myself, I loved their menu. In fact, Green Point is one of the first restaurants in Cusco I recommend to friends visiting.

Green Point offers a wide range of delicious food free from animal products, including vegan versions of Peruvian dishes such as rocoto relleno and chaufa. International cuisine includes burgers, pizzas and pastas, Mexican, Thai and Indian dishes. The bread used in their dishes is all baked in house, and all their sauces (except for the soya sauce) are completely homemade.

#3. Morena Peruvian Kitchen

Located in the heart of ancient Cusco, the bright and modern Morena Kitchen offers a wonderful journey through Peruvian flavors with a real contemporary twist.

Favorite dishes include the grilled Andean trout, the Bestia burger and the El Duo. This one combines two of my favorite local dishes—arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood) and ceviche.

#4. Jardin Orgánica

Jardin Orgánica is known for crafting delicious, organic dishes with daily deliveries straight from their own garden. This makes it a true farm to table restaurant.

Their versatile menu includes options for vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. Look for the lentil burger, four-cheese salad and trout ceviche. Or, go for the alpaca sandwich if you want to try something truly local!

I also loved their dish presentation. Edible flowers decorated nearly every dish and cocktail that came to the table.

#5. Jack’s Café

Cusco has many great restaurants, but none specialize in breakfast quite like Jack’s Café. This popular hangout for travelers has Australian roots, but they focus on serving American-style food.
