Apu Veronica Restaurant

This is an excellent little, family-run restaurant. The decor is rustic, and the kitchen is rudimentary, but the food they produce is top quality. You have to try extremely hard to find a bad restaurant in Peru! We were there with a large trekking group, but the service was reasonable given our group size. They have some nice drink options, and the avocado apps are amazing, but the real stars of the show are the meats served on sizzling stones. The veggie options were also excellent, and next time I will order this instead of meat!

Our guide recommended this place and we loved it! The ceviche and grilled trout were really delicious! We tried guinea pig here as well but didn't like it too much. Will definitely recommend this place!

Great food All the 3 dishes we tried were delicious The Chicha morada was the best in all of our 8 days trip to Perú. Very nice artesian beer and excellent alpaca. The view is beautiful to the mountains and the service was very kind and nice all the time. Very good prices. Totally recommended.

The restaurant has a pleasant Peruvian atmosphere. The portions are generous, and the food is incredibly delicious. The staff is friendly, and the view is stunning.

We had lunch and dinner today at Apy Veronica. As a vegan, I ate well. The best part was that the food was so well presented on stone plates in the inca way. Edible flowers on the hummus, all dishes accompanied by salad with avocado and a light at delicious dressing and fresh French fries. My friend had a trout and enjoyed it. The best meal so far in Peru.

Apu Veronica, located near the Plaza in Ollantaytambo, has two restaurants, with the restaurant on the second floor being the focus of this review. This restaurant comes highly recommended from Inka King Hotel, particularly for its lovely open balcony dining area that allows customers to enjoy the surrounding sights. Can't wait to come back again! The menus are conveniently available in both Spanish and English, making it easy for customers to pick their food. We ordered several dishes, including Trout, Lomo Saltado, and Pollo Saltado. The Trout was particularly delicious, served on a hot stone and beautifully presented alongside Andean fries. Both the Lomo and Pollo Saltado, which feature beef and chicken, respectively, were as exceptional, showcasing the rich spices and flavours characteristic of this Peruvian signature dish. We were fond of the local spices and fries for our first time in Peru! Additionally, we ordered Coca Tea. We would suggest incorporating a mint component to enhance the flavour, particularly for first-time travellers adjusting to the altitude. The staff at Apu Veronica are very kind and prompt in service. The restaurant accepts card payments, and they are fairly transparent about the service fee, or you can pay in cash. Also, they have lots of dining space on the balcony and inside at this location.

We stopped by after the archeological site and had an amazing meal. One of my favorite meals in my Peru visit. High recommended. It’s delicious!!

Visited in August 2024. Perú. Ollantaytambo. We found this restaurant based on positive reviews and, despite the construction detour, we managed to reach it. The restaurant itself is quite small but has multiple levels; we found a table on the balcony overlooking the mountains. Food: The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, but we mainly opted for grilled options. Our appetizer was a stuffed avocado, a delightful dish with a fresh salad, creamy avocado, and a filling of finely chopped vegetables – an interesting and tasty combination. For our main courses, we had trout and grilled chicken breast. Both portions were enormous, accompanied by a fresh salad and fries. Both the chicken and trout were perfectly cooked. The size of the portions was truly astonishing. And, surprisingly, the presentation was on par with high-end restaurants. Service: There was minimal service, but we were able to order our food, which was sufficient, as good service is hard to come by in the Sacred Valley. The dishes were prepared quickly, and dirty dishes were cleared. Overall, not bad. Conclusion: We didn't expect to find a restaurant of this caliber in terms of food preparation and presentation in such a small village. But the food was cooked to perfection, and I recommend this restaurant. I think it's the best place in the Ollantaytambo.
