Kusikuy Restaurante — Restaurant in Distrito de Cusco

Found this place after searching both google maps and tripadvisor. Indeed, this restaurant is a strong contender for excellent value for money. I was really impressed with the quality of the food and accompanying mid-range price. At this level, you would expect premium price, however, its location means "word of mouth" is crucial and I think this is what's happening. With our dining experience, I would strongly recommend walking away from restaurants convenient to Plaza De Armas, do a little trek uphill and you'll be glad you did. Excellent customer service - second to none, cozy atmosphere, dining without leaving a sour taste when paying...

Fabulous little restaurant, some ways off the beaten track, with good food and very friendly staff. We tried the cuy el horno (because you have to), and it was grilled to perfection. The owner was lovely, and explained a lot about how it is prepared and how you eat it. He didn't speak any English and our Spanish is pretty poor, but that didn't stop him from chatting away happily. We felt very welcome and can only recommend this little gem of a restaurant (it felt far less touristy than most of the other places around the central square). Careful: They only take cash payments, and the nearest ATM is some way away, so come...

Read good reviews online and wanted to find a great place to experience Cuy. We weren't let down! Showed up late afternoon on a Monday (slow time) and was told Cuy would take 1 hour to prepare. This is good for us! This means that they're making it right and fresh. We sit down and enjoy a couple drinks and appetizers. The attention was phenomenal. The chef came out and talked to us plenty, explained a lot of things, was super helpful, and really helped make the experience awesome.

Highly recommended if you want a great atmosphere to try Cuy the right way! Prices reasonable, I thought. Would absolutely go back...
