Fodor's Expert Review Recreo El Falcón

Perched on the banks of the Huallaga River, this family-style restaurant offers the best of Huánuco cooking, including specialties like gallina con locro (chicken soup), pachamanca, and fresh river trout. Come at lunch, and lounge on the open-air terrace while you enjoy the view and live music. Make sure you check out their batánes, stone mortars used to grind herbs and peppers.

Dishes are huge, so be prepared to share.
