Nina del Valle — Restaurant in Ollantaytambo

I have no idea how this restaurant got this high rating. My wife and I had dinner here in September 2025 and left quite disappointed as the restaurant did not even closely live up to it's high rating. On the positive side - the service was extremely friendly and attentive. Unfortunately there was only one waiter so as the restaurant filled up he started struggling and things were slow. But most disappointing was the food. The menu was more or leas "the usual Peruvian food". However everything tasted very boring - no flavor and bad texture (the soup was too thin, the meat tuff). The interior was very basic and uninviting. Moreover it was a bit irritating to see a family member walking around in sweat pants and kids loudly playing in the dining room. While I completely understand that most restaurants in Peru are in the same building where the owners live, here there was definitely room for improvement to make it a more pleasant stay for the guests. Plus, the music was horrible (the most cheesy 80s & 90s hits). Considering all the above, the prices were unreasonably high. I unfortunately cannot...

We had an incredible time at Nina del Valle! We were blown away after finding it through a Google search for vegetarian-friendly restaurants. The food was exceptional - we started with Crema De Asparragoa and Sopa De Quinoa soups, both of which were outstanding. Our daughters loved customizing their Fettuccine Verde dishes - one with homemade tomato sauce and the other with pesto sauce and vegetables, and both were phenomenal. Despite only ordering one main dish, a vegetarian sandwich, the portion sizes were extremely generous. We would happily reorder each dish, but we are confident that everything they serve is equally high quality and delicious. I must say, it was indeed one of the best vegetarian dinners we've ever had on any of our vacations. It's a real hidden gem, and we wholeheartedly...

The mango juice was superb! Another warm mango cocktail was also delicious! And their ceviche sauce (peppers, onion, lemon, etc.) was out of this world! However, the grilled vege burger tasted a bit more healthy than tasty - because it only had grilled veges in some healthy looking bun and didn’t have a strong flavour profile or a unifying factor. The pizza had a bit too much cheese to my liking even after asking for less cheese.

Service was a bit slow but not surprising as they prepared everything fresh. They started the wood fire for the pizza for us! Very hospitable and friendly.

Ambiance was great and clean. Their space is very airy.

Definitely recommend and would love to come again to try other things. Just that the burger and pizza didn’t work out...
