A great hangout and meeting spot for travelers, this eclectic café with cheery yellow walls and wood-beamed ceilings works with local farming co-ops and has a commitment to organic principles and fair trade. The menu is small, but the quality is good. Try the juanes (an egg, rice, herb, and spice mixture, topped with chicken and tied into a bijao leaf), sandwiches, or any of the desserts.
Chachapoyas's trendiest eatery tends to elicit sharply polarized reactions: for those in the "love it" camp, local chef David Sancón's innovative take on Amazonian cuisine is a foodie's dream, with imaginative presentations (think guinea pig on a clothesline and ant-studded cocktails), hip jungle decor, and a level of culinary imagination unavailable elsewhere in Chachapoyas. For those in the "hate it" faction, it's all style and no substance. That said, a local puts the case well: "Whatever your final opinion, you can't leave town without trying El Batán.
With a pleasant interior courtyard, this is one of the most elegant eateries in Chachapoyas. The criollo food is serviceable, and the staff is most attentive when the dueña (owner) is around.
A good choice for carnivores, La Tushpa features juicy grilled steaks with homemade chimichurri and other sauces. There are also pizzas and other items from the on-site bakery. Though the place feels institutional, the restaurant is more welcoming than most in the region, thanks to its friendly waitstaff. Ask to see the owner's orchard garden, which he keeps above the restaurant.
This jungle-themed restaurante popular specializes in seafood, but its versions of Amazonian specialties and the usual Peruvian standbys are more than creditable. If you're really hungry, try one of the unusual combos, many featuring cebiche, which will have you as sated as an anaconda after feeding time. The outside terraces are nice for lounging after lunch.
