Restaurants.

In In Cusco, you will not have to worry about food, because the different restaurants of the city offer a varied menu, an excellent service and an exquisite flavoring. You don't need to ask for more. Most of the restaurants are in the surroundings of the Main Square.

The prices suit all the budgets and vary according to the service quality and type of food. But if you want to taste the typical food of the country, we recommend you to go by the "picanterías" (restaurants specialized in spicy dishes) and "chicherías" where you will find dishes like the Queso Kapche (prepared specially in November and December). It is a stew of green broad beans and boiled potatoes, seasoned with onion, garlic, butter, milk and hot chili pepper. Other recommended dishes are "Timpo" or "Puchero", typical dish for the Tuesday of carnival, which is a soup of cow breast, head of lamb, pork fat and legs, cabbage leaves, potatoes, garbanzo beans and rice, among other products. You must also taste "pepián" (chili stew) from rabbit or guinea pig. But we recommend to take care with the mayonnaise and a green spicy sauce if are open or in little bowl because it can contain bacteries.

We recommend these tourist restaurants:

- Jack's coffee: They prepare sandwiches and fast food of good quality. Address: Calle Choquechaca.
- Restaurant Tunupa: they prepare international food. Address: Plaza de Armas.
- Trotamundos: Is a nice coffee with a very friendly atmosphere: Address: Plaza de Armas.
