Where to Eat in Cusco

Cusco today is celebrated worldwide for its extraordinary culinary diversity and thriving restaurant scene. Here you will find world-class fine dining establishments alongside modest local eateries that are beloved for their delicious home-cooked meals. The average cost per person at top-tier fine dining venues ranges between US$30 and US$60 (prices vary, check official website). If you opt for a mid-range restaurant, you can expect to spend between US$10 and US$20.

Dining in Cusco is by no means expensive. If you are open to unpretentious, authentic local spots, you can easily enjoy great quality food at very budget-friendly prices (under US$5 per person).

We cannot forget to mention Cusco’s cozy wood-fired pizzerias and popular Peruvian rotisserie chicken spots (pollerías a la brasa), which offer hearty, satisfying meals for around US$5 to US$8.

Furthermore, nearly every local eatery offers a daily set lunch or menú (a multi-course meal comprising an appetizer, main dish, and dessert or hot herbal tea). These daily set menus are very popular among locals and travelers alike for their tremendous value (typically US$2 to US$4 per person).
