TERRITORIO cocina peruana — Restaurant in Distrito de Cusco

Tiny place with only 4 or 5 tables only. I came on a Friday night around 7pm and it was full with tourists.

The owner/chef seemed to run the place by himself until about 8pm when another lady came in to help, otherwise it was just the guy taking orders, serving and cooking. The service is therefore a bit slow but it's a tiny place, cooked fresh to order. I think the food is worth a little wait.

The menu is small and focused with English explanations. They take card as well as cash.

The service was friendly but all in Spanish, but you can survive with the basic phrases, pointing and Google translate.

Tequenos de lomo soltado were filling and tasty. Fresh, juicy and well combined with the limes, kion chimichurri, guacamole and some sort of small cup of stock or sauce.

Ocopa de Cameron looked small but was hearty and filling. I would have liked a bit more prawns though.

Good spot to visit. 70 soles for a solo diner with a cocktail and the two...

We entered into terrirorio— it was unassuming and minimally decorated. A family was running the restaurant and we were the only people there. As we ordered, the chef brought us a sampler of quinoa chaufa and we were absolutely sold from start to finish. The ceviche was perfectly seasoned and the fish was so fresh. The lomo saltado was perfectly cooked— juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection. The Chicha morada had a slight lemon taste to it and was perfectly balanced and complex. We finished with a dessert that was made with sweet potatoes (similar to a donut) and topped with a sweet glaze, quinoa, and spring onions. I’ve never had Peruvian food quite this good and fresh in my life— while we were a little nervous about what we were getting into when we walked in, trust me— the food is so so so so good and so worth it.

Note— this is cash only, so come with soles. You can expect to spend between 35-50 soles per person depending on how...

We've visited this restaurant three times in just three days and tried almost every dish on the menu. This is a small restaurant with only four tables, run by the chef and his wife. It's very cozy. Everything is delicious and each dish is exquisite, resembling a fusion of Peruvian and Asian cuisine. The owner and his wife are very nice. This is my favorite also the best restaurant in Cusco. We were really curious why such an unassuming little restaurant tucked away in an alley could have such beautifully presented dishes with unique flavors and perfect cooking. So, on the last day before we left, we asked the chef if he had trained at any high-end restaurants. The chef told us that before opening this restaurant, he had worked in over ten different restaurants in Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Suddenly, everything made...
