"Al Fresco Lunch, Guinea Pig Optional I planned on grabbing a quick lunch at Pacha Papa, located in San Blas Square, the heart of Cusco's artist and gallery neighborhood. But I ended up spending a couple of hours in the lovely outdoor courtyard, talking to my wonderful server, Ever, and the owners about Cusco and Peru 's bright future. They do serve Cusco's local delicacy, guinea pig, but I opted for"

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Pachapapa! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What made the evening even more special was our waiter, David. He was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome, offering great recommendations that we loved. His service was exceptional and really enhanced our dining experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Pachapapa, especially with David as your waiter!

Fun dining experience. Called in advance to reserve the Guinea pig. The meat tasted special but it did need some efforts to have the very first bite. It came with potato, salads and corns as sides. Salad was also good, refreshing and dressing was special. Bread/buns were made home, fresh and a bit sweet. Overall a nice place in Cusco.

This was a recommendation from our concierge at JW Marriott. We are glad that we tried cuy here. You have to wait 1hr after you order cuy because they need time to roast it in the oven. Beto, our waiter was nice and helpful explaining where they source their cuy. They get their guinea pigs from sacred valley. All the appetizers were freshly made. I especially enjoyed the corn dish. The restaurant is nestled in Plaza San Blas which is peaceful without many tourists. The house baked bread they serve before the meal is comforting: they have perfect texture and density. I personally thought having an outdoor oven for the bread added more local touch to the atmosphere.

Our last restaurant of our trip in Peru…could not have asked for a better experience! Our waitress, Panchita was absolutely wonderful. We tried the cuy and loved it and the short rib was one of my all time favorite things I’ve ever eaten in my life!

Great authentic atmosphere, Dante our waiter was great and helped with anything we needed. We ordered beef and lamb, the food was very good although a bit salty - however we found this in most restaurants in Cusco. Would definitely recommend for an authentic experience — trout ceviche was amazing and very fresh!

Gareth was a great waiter and the food was delicious! We had the guinea pig and it was something to remember. We had a great time at the restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone that is we are visiting Cusco!

Had the best dinner here. Everything was so fresh and seasoned perfectly. Gareth was friendly and helpful in all aspects of our experience, even when we had some really silly questions. The baked trout was amazing, and the "relax" tea was some of the best tea I've ever had
