Cuzco & the Sacred Valley - Peru - page 471

( Calle Palacio 121; mains S21-38; 2-11pm) A sure bet for Peruvian food, often with
an added twist. The chicken soup with hierba Luisa, a local herb, is exquisite, and that's
only the start of an eclectic fusion menu. You might also want to sample their daring array
of cocktails from the rooftop deck - the city views make it the best outdoor venue in
Cuzco.

( cnr Almagro & San Andrés; mains S12-20; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat) A local favorite
for abundant cheap eats, this rotisserie restaurant features a worthwhile salad bar (try the

of a chicken), done here to perfection.
