  • 1. Casa Grill

    $$

    Dining in this charmingly refitted family home is like dining at Grandpa's house—if Grandpa were an internationally trained grill expert who served only the most exquisite cuts of meat. That's because the steaks, fire-cooked pork, and whole salmon at the sumptuous parrilla (grill) are the best in Ayacucho, with delicious sauces to boot. Sit on the red-tile porch at night and look up at the chirimoya trees.

    Jr. Tres Máscaras 390, Ayacucho, Ayacucho, Peru
    966-137–090

    Known For

    • Best grilled meat in the Central Sierra

  • 2. Huancahuasi

    $$

    A festival-hall atmosphere and mind-blowing updates of Peruvian classic dishes make this Huancayo institution one of the sierra's best restaurants. The versions of papa a la huancaína and alpaca saltado (stir-fried alpaca with onions and tomatoes) are like nothing you've had before, and the brightly costumed waiters take joy in introducing the region's cuisine to visitors. The Lima (Avenida Javier Prado Este 1405) branch of this eatery is equally scrumptious.

    Av. Mariscal Castilla 2222, Huancayo, Junín, Peru
    064-244–826

    Known For

    • Exquisite regional cooking
    • Vibrant fiesta-like atmosphere
    • Friendly waitstaff
  • 3. El Encanto de la Selvaina

    $$

    Located just off the main plaza, this bustling local favorite will have you feeling the jungle vibe in no time. Try the mojadito amazónico—jungle fried rice with a sweet-and-sour sauce—with a pitcher of one of the exotic fruit juices to wash it down.

    Av. Alameda Perú 288, Tingo María, Huanuco, Peru
    062-562–848

    Known For

    • Heaping platters of jungle favorites
