In-Depth Information
( 24-0543, San Agustín 275; mains S39-65; 12:30-3pm Mon-Fri, 7-10:30pm Sat)
Cuzco's go-to spot for traditional French cooking, this romantic white-linen restaurant
does not disappoint. The menu features staples like brandied trout, baked ratatouille with
goat cheese and herbs, and duck à l'orange. You can also go for an eight-course tasting
menu or the three-course
menú del dia
(S69). Ingredients like fish stock may be in non-
meat dishes, so vegetarians should order carefully.
Green ' s Organic $$
( 24-3399; Santa Catalina Angosta 235, 2nd fl; mains S21-44; 11am-10pm;
CAFE
)
With all-organic food and a bright farmhouse feel, Green's Organic oozes health. Invent-
ive salads with options like roasted fennel, goat cheese, beets and spring greens are a wel-
come change of pace and the heartier fare includes pastas and alpaca dishes. Come early
(or late) as it fills up fast and service is notably slow.
Deli Monasterio $$
( Calle Palacio 140; sandwiches S14; 8am-6pm)
Crusty, authentic baguettes are the
highlight here (come early) but you can also get nice lunchboxes (perfect for day excur-
sions) with gourmet and veggie options. The mini
pain au chocolat
and passion fruit
cookies aren't bad either.
