ALLPA & NINA RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Distrito de Cusco

I recently dined at this hidden but charming restaurant in Cusco and had an exceptional experience. The quinoa salad and hamburger I ordered were simply amazing – a perfect blend of flavors and high-quality ingredients. The pricing was reasonable, offering great value for the delightful culinary experience.

What stood out was not only the delicious food but also the impeccable presentation and attention to detail. The service was equally remarkable, with a knowledgeable waitress who took the time to explain each dish, enhancing our overall dining experience. It's clear that this establishment prioritizes both culinary excellence and customer satisfaction. Highly recommended for those seeking a memorable dining...

This little restaurant is a gem in the old town. Hands down the best food we've had in Cusco. We tried both their menu of the day (soup, pork chop with rice and fries, desert fresh juice for 15/S) and their a la carte dishes. The a la carte dishes are fantastic, we had the sauted alpaca (lomo salteado), quinoa and avocado salad, and quinoa breaded chicken nuggets (we ate here twice because it was so good). Dishes are very reasonably priced, service is great and the place is cozy. This restaurant really stands out from the restaurants around the main square in the old town, it is just slightly off the main tourist path, but not even a 5 min walk from the plaza. I highly...

I ate here probably 5 times while I was in Cusco. It was easily the best restaurant I ate at it in Peru, including others that were highly rated. It was also cheaper than most.

While all the dishes I had were excellent, the two must-haves in my opinion are the trout ceviche appetizer and an off-menu item--chicken with quinoa risotto (priced the same as the on-menu alpaca with rice risotto). Ask the server for this item and they'll make it for you.

Speaking of the server, she is awesome. She'd let me practice my Spanish on her and took my suggestion to heart that they put the quinoa risotto on the menu. I think she must be one of the owners.

Go here, you...
