Julian Restaurant — Restaurant in Machu Picchu

Must try their Fettuccine olive oil white wine with garlic and mushrooms. It’s OUT OF THIS WORLD! The umami level is off the chart. It’s incredible how the chef was able to achieved this given it’s a vegetarian dish. Usually a new dish would offer a combination of familiar tastes but this one is different. It was totally new aroma and taste that I have never experienced before. Everything is also well balanced. The house-made fettuccine is the best I’ve ever tasted, super thin yet al dente and juicy full of flavor. I think the key ingredient is perhaps the special kind of wild mushroom that was sliced so thinly to gives out plenty of humble umami background that enhances everything. It was so good the we had to order another one for good measure. If you want to know what umami tastes like, this is it.

Apart from this amazing creative original dish, they also have many others that we would have loved to try but didn’t have the time. But, I trust that they would be as delicious if not more. The service is very friendly in a sincere way. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive making us feel very comfortable and able to make a request or just talk to him about anything at anytime.

Highly recommended for either meat lovers or vegetarians. Comfortable homey feel with absolutely amazing food that you won’t find anywhere else. All this at a very reasonable price. What more you...

Excellent meal! Beautifully presented. However, the portions are not designed to be shared. (We found this true In another restaurant in town but not our typical experience in Peru). We ordered the chicken breast stuffed with blue cheese and elderberry sauce which had such wonderful flavors, not very sweet, and a Umami flavor, that was somehow added . There are a lot of vegetables, which is not very common in most dishes we order while traveling, but the portion of chicken was small. I was really sad that I had this year with my partner! The mashed potatoes are so much more than simply mashed potatoes. I don’t know what they added to them, but they were so favorable, not just a simple mashed potato .We also ordered the salad with fruit, Greens, and a dressing made with passionfruit . Also, very good, but again, not a large portion. So plan on ordering your food for yourself and enjoy a beautifully presented it....

This place was an amazing venue!!

One of the most delicious places we ate at in Peru. We had the 3 course meal and a drink each. I believe the 3 course was 35 soles which they initially told us was 50. The drinks were I believe 20 soles each or it was part of some happy hour special.

The drinks were delicious. I'd skip the colourful machu pichu drink and go for the piscos.

Some bread with antipasti came and were a good start.

Then came the causa which is a mashed potato of sorts but better! It was really good and I believe it had seafood.

Then we had the lomo saltado alpaca style. Had to try the alpaca as it's specific to this region. It was good, better than other meat I've tasted.

Lastly a passion fruit mouse dessert. It was good as well.

Overall good location , good prices, and it was a...
