One of the best restaurants in the Cusco region was serving Peruvian fusion before it became trendy, perfecting the art of combining flavors in a way that each one can be savored. You’ll need some time to decide between all the enticing options on the menu; the cuts of meat are amazingly tender, and there are some interesting vegetarian choices as well, not to mention an array of fabulous appetizers that might tempt you to just order a medley.
If you're looking for something healthy, with plenty of choices for vegetarians, Kaia is the best bet in Urubamba for lunch or an early dinner (it closes at 6). With fresh salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, and all sorts of snacks to choose from, you'll easily satisfy your post-hike hunger. There is often live music here on the weekends, and the playground will entertain kids while parents linger.
One of the valley's best restaurants, this lively spot helmed by chef Eduardo takes inspiration from his extensive travels around the world, featuring delicious dishes influenced by Indonesia, Thailand, parts of Africa, and Peru. Consider the shrimp cebiche, Peruvian trout curry, and the Street Fighter (filet mignon stir-fried with spices and sauces from Bangkok).
