乖小咪KINWA in Cusco is a restaurant with Peruvian characteristics. It serves traditional Peruvian dishes. The tableware is mostly black pottery, which is very primitive and simple, with strong local characteristics. The dishes are also very delicious, and the original flavor is especially delicious.

乖小咪The restaurant in Machu Picchu is very good, mainly tasting the Peruvian specialty grilled fish. The grilled fish here is cold water fish from the lake on the Machu Picchu plateau. It tastes very delicious, and the meat is delicate and tastes very good. It is really delicious when paired with the lemon juice here.

乐天的静Paca Paca is one of my favorite stops in Urubamba. Their hosts - Carlos and Nena - are amazing and the food is delicious. The place is, colorful and artsy and the dishes are varied, well executed and nicely presented. From local potatoes tu sacha tomatoes, every dish has a touch of peruvian cuisine and local produce. Loved the trout, the "saltado" (sauteed meat and shrimp) and the sacha tomatoes with raspberry artisanal ice cream are absolutely delicious, a must visit for a laid back/slow afternoon!

天地随性 After reading The Best 50 Restaurants of the World a few years ago, I was attracted to the Central restaurant in Peru. This year, it was ranked 2nd. The 2nd restaurant in the world must be difficult to book. Since I didn’t get a reservation at first (I finally managed to book it), I didn’t give up. So I found MIL in the Sacred Valley through Central, and it also provides a complete botanical tour. I must find a way to experience it. This experience is not very popular at present because the restaurant has just reopened after being closed for two years due to the epidemic, so it is relatively easy to book. The experience is divided into 3 parts: plant path, traditional printing and dyeing, and food and drink tour. The whole experience is an immersive experience of the Andes Food Tour, or "Thank the Earth for the Gift" Just like building MIL next to MORAY, the tone of the hotel was set from the beginning, which is experiment. Food. Plateau. MORAY is the experimental field of the ancient Inca Empire. There are more than a dozen terraces in the entire experimental field with a drop of more than 70 meters, and each layer is about 1.8 meters high on average. The temperature difference between the upper and lower parts can be as high as 15°. The soil for each terrace also comes from different regions. Through these, the ancient Incas studied the cultivation of potatoes and corn. There are more than 3,000 varieties of potatoes and hundreds of corn varieties in Peru. Because it is located on a plateau at an altitude of 3,500 meters, the hillsides around MIL are also full of various plateau fruits and vegetables and various herbs. Many of these herbs are also used for nutritional and medicinal purposes, including the use of the warm and cold properties of plants, which are somewhat similar to the yin and yang regulation in China. In addition to nutrition, medicine and edible, it is also an important tool for traditional camel wool and cloth printing and dyeing. Figure 1, MIL and Moray, plant display Figure 2, MIL's building was designed by Estudio Rafael Freyre Architecture Studio. In the restaurant, the space revolves around a central stone courtyard and an internal garden featuring local species, with the quemua tree as the main protagonist (the Andean queñua tree is endangered. It can regulate weather, prevent soil erosion and replenish water springs, which is vital to the valley's ecosystem.). The entire building is matched with Ichu fiber grass + rammed earth walls, which are all from the local area. Engagement with geography and ecosystems through materials and techniques used in construction: local earth, fibers, minerals, Ichu fiber weaving…

juki235This buffet restaurant is located on the edge of the Machu Picchu Gate Square and is one of the few restaurants in the Machu Picchu scenic area. The restaurant tastes OK, and there are many foods that can only be eaten in Machu Picchu. The service is also good, but there are too many people. You must pay attention to your finances when you come here to eat, as there are many thieves.
