Altar is a super beautiful restaurant in the main square of Pisac. It has a very romantic atmosphere, especially on the second level where there are several sofas with short tables and low lighting. The staff is professional and polite and greeted us and also checked back on our food. The menu has starters, salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, kebabs and a filet mignon. They also serve coffee drinks, tea, juices, beer, wine and cocktails. The double smash burger was very good. The brioche bu. Was lightly toasted and beef was juicy, not over seasoned and was of good quality. Sadly, it did not come with French fries; which for the price of 35 soles should be possible and still make a fair profit. The chicken sandwich was almost perfect. It comes as a pair of smaller brioche buns; so two sandwiches. That’s two chrispy, moist and tender chicken thighs with some type of slaw and a light dressing. Although the sandwich was very good, I though it could have been great if they offered a few spreads like a Cilantro lime or Spicy chili mayonnaise or a cucumber mint yogurt to boost the flavor a bit. Overall we really enjoyed Altar and highly recommend it for a special night out. One recommendation for the kitchen and staff: Don’t serve the table until all dishes are ready. We received our hamburger two to three minutes before our chicken sandwich was served. This practice...
Read moreDining at Alter in Pisac, Peru was an excellent experience. The restaurant is located in a quiet, charming area, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the evening.
We started with some tasty appetizers, clearly made with fresh local ingredients. But the highlight of the meal was definitely the Filet Mignon. It was cooked perfectly—juicy, tender, and flavorful. The sauce paired really well with the steak, making every bite enjoyable.
The sides that came with the filet were also very good and complemented the main dish nicely. Our server recommended a great wine that matched the meal perfectly.

Read moreEdit: you’re using “free water” argument while in all the places water like this is paid. Pretty bad behavior to do everything so the customer looks bad. And I wasn’t there two nights in a row haha.
I'd give this place 5 star: great teas and the service seemed nice. But when I ordered water + tea after 1h the staff told me they don't like the fact that I'm using my laptop and their internet and I need to keep ordering stuff to stay there. Weird as the place was empty. So doesn't make any sense.
Go to Kula cafe instead, they’re kinder people and it’s a pleasure to leave way more money on the table in a coffee shop run by...
