  • 21. La Bondiet

    $

    This is a great spot to regroup, caffeinate, and make use of the Wi-Fi after a hard morning's sightseeing. The coffee is quality, there's a huge range of mouthwatering cakes, and you can also grab breakfast, sandwiches, and slices.

  • 22. La Feria

    $$ | Plaza de Armas

    Traditional Peruvian cuisine, rather than the stuff of gourmands, is a food of the people, served on the street or in family-style restaurants called picanterías. At La Feria, you can enjoy good country eating Andean style, with generous portions of such typical fare as slow-cooked pork, beef ribs, anticuchos (kebabs), and much more. With balconies overlooking the Plaza de Armas and a warm and welcoming atmosphere decorated with brightly colored textiles, you’ll feel like you’ve just walked into your long-lost Peruvian grandma’s house.

  • 23. Le Buffet Francés

    $ | San Blas

    Although not a buffet in the American sense of all-you-can-eat, this French-owned café tests your restraint with the best pastries in town, as well as reasonably priced sandwiches on homemade bread, quiches, cheese and meat plates, salads, French wine, and, every Friday night, a special French dish of the week. Prix-fixe lunch menus are also available.

  • 24. Macondo

    $$ | San Blas | Latin American

    Walking through this shop off the busy Cuesta San Blas, part art gallery, part café, and more hip than ever, you may think you took a wrong turn and ended up in New York City. The menu features healthy standards such as soups and salads, as well as some splurges such as bacon-wrapped alpaca. Also a great spot for desserts or a glass of wine. There are just eight small tables, so make reservations, especially for dinner. Come for the food, but be sure to check out the contemporary artwork for sale, rare for this history-focused city.

    Cuesta San Blas 571, Cusco, Cusco, Peru
    084-227–887

    Known For

    • Hip and artsy
    • Tasty, albeit small menu
    • Art shop out front
  • 25. MAP Café

    $$$$

    Museum eateries don't routinely warrant a mention, but this small, glass-enclosed, elegant café inside the courtyard of the Museo de Arte Precolombino is actually one of the city's top restaurants. It has top prices to boot, but it's still a bargain compared with what this quality meal would cost in New York or Los Angeles. Of its novel and exciting twists on traditional Peruvian cuisine, try the chicken estofado (stew) with goat cheese and raisins or the pork adobo on a bed of sweet potato mousseline à l'orange. The dessert presentation is so clever that you may not want to ruin it by eating it—but you'll be glad you did. The menu is prix-fixe after 6 (S/225), and you can choose one each from any of the appetizers, main dishes, and desserts; between 3 and 6, only dessert and coffee are served.

    Plazoleta Nazarenas 231, Cusco, Cusco, Peru

    Known For

    • First-class dining and presentation
    • Prix-fixe dinner menu

  • 26. Morena Peruvian Kitchen

    $$

    Bright, cheerful, and just off the Plaza de Armas, the Australian-Peruvian owned Morena serves its own delicious takes on Peruvian standards, with a variety of traditional appetizers and mains that are perfect for mixing and matching to make your own tasting menu. The soups, sandwiches, smoothies, and other light fare are ideal for when you're adjusting to altitude; tea, coffee, juices, heavenly desserts, craft beers, and creative cocktails round out the offerings.

    $ | Plaza de Armas

    Café, restaurant, bar, museum, and shop—this is somewhat of a one-size-fits-all, housed in the second-oldest colonial mansion in Cusco with a comfortable and welcoming decor. On the menu are excellent coffee drinks that can be made with a variety of processes your barista will be happy to explain, as well as tasty food, great cocktails, and more. Add a store selling the best Peruvian coffee—perfect for taking home as a gift—and you have a stop you won't want to miss.

  • 28. Papachos

    $$ | Plaza de Armas

    The brainchild of Gastón Acurio, Peru's most famous chef, Papachos is the place to go for a fresh take on the burger. With a sports bar atmosphere, the restaurant has a huge menu with plenty of other choices, but it's the burgers you come here for. There's every variety you can think of, along with plenty you probably wouldn't have (fried egg and banana), and every topping can be put on a veggie burger if that's your preference.

    Portal de Belen 115, Cusco, Cusco, Peru
    084-228–205

    Known For

    • Great burgers
    • Unique toppings
    • Delicious desserts
  • 29. Uchu

    $$$

    You could easily just feast on tasty appetizers at this upscale, minimalist-design spot, but you'd be missing out on the real highlight—an entrée cooked at your table on a heated volcanic stone. Choice, fresh selections of beef, alpaca, fish, chicken, and shrimp, are brought to your table seared on the outside, allowing you to complete cooking them to your personal preference. Unlike other table-side cooking techniques, there's no smoke or strong odor to follow you home.

    084-246–598

    Known For

    • Table-side cooking on lava stone
