Mapacho Craft Beer Restaurant

$$ Fodor's Choice
Go for the awesome craft beer, but stay for the delicious food. Everything—from faster pub fare to full meals such as lomo saltado (beef stir-fry), grilled chicken, and osso buco—is served by a friendly, professional staff in a casual setting along the river. The hardwood tables and chairs and the big-screen TV make it seem more like a bar, but the food is as good as you might find in more upscale or trendy restaurants.

La Boulangerie de Paris

$

Paris's loss is Aguas Calientes's gain with the authentic French pastries served here, as well as coffee, sandwiches on house artisanal bread, quiches, and more. Eat in or take some of the delicious choices to go—the excellent boxed-lunch options are perfect for enjoying in Machu Picchu, and the restaurant opens at 5 am so you can pick them up on the way to the bus.

Tao Dulce Salado

Take a break at this cute coffee shop by the side of the train tracks and away from the main tourist avenue. The selection of gelatos, espressos, burgers, and finger foods is ideal for a break after visiting the ruins.
