Limo in Cuzco
 
Has anyone had a chance to dine there lately ? Reports ?

I can't help. I am surprised to see that there is now a Cusco Restaurants Group that is comprised of several restaurants that as far as I know, were previously individually operated.

Limo is part of the group, http://www.cuscorestaurants.com/

I try to avoid these types of "groups" but that doesn't mean it isn't good.

We are in Cusco at the moment and did take a look at Limo but decided to splash out on Gaston Acurio's place, ChiCha where we are going tomorrow night. Will report back after we have been.

My wife has been trying to get me to go to Greens Organics, a vegetarian place in the same group, but as a committed carnivore I have resisted - so far... I am not sure whether all these restaurants are owned by the same group. I think they may have just joined together for marketing purposes. There is another group http://www.cuzcodining.com/ again not sure re ownership etc. also met some people who recommended Incanto the italiannplace in the group.

We did visit Marcelo Barata, part of he above group and had a distinctly forgettable meal. I had to send my main course back it was so bad. I would avoid that place.

You will be spoilt for choice in Cusco. I can't believe how the restaurant scene here (and the prices!) has changed in five years

Ah, a restaurant. I thought someone was looking for a limousine in Cusco and imagining the driver trying to negotiate the cobbled streets and turn corners.

Greens serves meat! The name is misleading. I don't know if the menu has changed but last year it was my splurge and liked the alpaca in aji panca.

Funny Limo not limo!

Had a fantastic meel at Chicha last night. Superb food, excellent service, couldn't fault the place, which for me is very unusual! Highly recommend the Pachamanka, a mixture of meats, potatoes cooked in an earthenware pot with a divine sauce. Here is a link to the menu
