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"
("chichi" drink sellers) where you will find
dishes like the quso kapiche (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.
To drink, we recommend you "chicha de jora". An
Andean drink prepared with fermented corn.
