The candlelit decor shows the imagination of a long-lost castaway with imitation
Gauguin panels, a carved figurehead damsels, colonial benches and vintage objects. The
S50
menú
is an extremely good value for a decadent dinner. Indio Feliz has good wheel-
chair access and is in the process of adding an upstairs bar and terrace, which provides an-
other reason not to leave here.

( 21-1122; Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel; mains S25-60; 11am-9pm)
Second to
none for ambience, this tucked-away riverside restaurant is housed in elongated thatched
rooms with views of water tumbling over the boulders. With quite reasonable prices, try
the perfectly executed
lomo saltado
with flavorful sauce and crisp red onions. Look care-
fully, it's hidden behind the train station.
Tree House $$$

With just a few tables, the rus-
tic ambience of Tree House provides a cozy setting for its inviting fusion menu. Dishes
like chicken soup with wontons and ginger, red quinoa risotto and crispy trout are lov-
ingly prepared. For dessert, order the lip-smacking fruit crumble. Reserve ahead. It's part
of the hotel Rupa Wasi.

We don't know how these Frenchmen
got here, we're just thankful. This open-air stand sells
pain au chocolat,
fresh croissants
and desserts. The upstairs bakery offers community classes, which should leave an inter-
esting cultural imprint on the rural Andean baking.
BAKERY

A trusty Hare Krishna vegetarian
