  • 1. Indio Feliz

    $$

    An engaging French-Peruvian couple manage one of the town's best restaurants, whose eclectic decor—think maritime kitsch—is worth a visit on its own. Quiche Lorraine, ginger chicken, and spicy trucha a la macho (trout in hot pepper and wine sauce) are favorites on the Peruvian-French fusion à la carte menu, but the reasonably priced (S/77), prix-fixe, three-course menu is the way to go, offering all the same options plus heavenly homemade bread. It's as good a place for dining with friends as for an intimate dinner for two.

  • 2. Mapacho Craft Beer Restaurant

    $$

    Go for the awesome craft beer, but stay for the delicious food. Everything—from faster pub fare to full meals such as lomo saltado (beef stir-fry), grilled chicken, and osso buco—is served by a friendly, professional staff in a casual setting along the river. The hardwood tables and chairs and the big-screen TV make it seem more like a bar, but the food is as good as you might find in more upscale or trendy restaurants.

    Calle Imperio de los Incas 614, Aguas Calientes, Cusco, Peru
    984-759–634

    Known For

    • Revolving varieties of craft beer
    • Excellent customer service
    • Something for everyone
  • 3. Incontri del Pueblo Viejo

    $$

    With an owner-chef who hails directly from Italy, you can be sure to find authentic Mediterranean fare here, as well as house-made pasta and Peruvian cuisine. The large, open space has comfortable seating with a cozy fireplace, and the fair prices, especially on the Italian wines, make this a great value. For those who want something a bit simpler, delicious pizzas are also available. With luck, the dessert offerings will include the chef's fabulous tiramisu.

    Pachacutec s/n, Aguas Calientes, Cusco, Peru

    Known For

    • Gourmet Italian food and wine

  • 4. Toto's House

    $$

    This well-established tourist favorite has long tables set up in the center of its cavernous dining room to accommodate the tour groups that come for the huge buffet lunch. In the evening, grilled dishes like trucha andina (Andean trout), beef, or alpaca—served amid the entertainment of a folkloric music show—are better bets than the buffet items. Grab one of the smaller tables by the window for a river view or out on the shaded front patio for some good people-watching.

    Av. Imperio de los Incas 600, Aguas Calientes, Cusco, Peru
    084-211–020

    Known For

    • Popular buffet lunch, especially for big groups
    • Traditional Peruvian dishes
    • Riverside location

  • 5. Tree House Restaurant

    $$

    Perched high above the streets of Aguas Calientes, this small, wood-paneled restaurant serves some of the best international cuisine in town. Fresh, local ingredients are the backbone for such dishes like quinoa salad with goat cheese, gnocchi with lamb ragout, and Thai brochettes. The intimate candlelit dining room is small, so you may want to make dinner reservations. This is the best choice for a romantic dinner.

    Calle Huanacaure 180, Aguas Calientes, Cusco, Peru
    084-435–849

    Known For

    • Romantic setting
    • Fresh local ingredients in gourmet dishes
