Best places for Dinner in Cusco
Best places for Dinner in Cusco
After four weeks living in Cusco and taking Spanish lessons at the AMAUTA Spanish School, it becomes hard to find new, nice places to go for dinner. In contrast, when you are a newbie, it can be hard to choose among all the good restaurants around. There are some really comfortable, high-quality restaurants in Cusco with affordable prices that I can recommend. These are the best places for dinner in Cusco.
Restaurant INDIGO
I think many travelers and Spanish students in Cusco agree that “Indigo” is always the right choice. INDIGO offers a menu with a huge range of Peruvian and Asian cuisine. You should really try the Indigo Sandwich with Avocado! But it’s not only the food that makes “Indigo” what it is. After dinner, for those who like, you can order a dish for only 25 Soles and choose your favorite drink of the Happy Hour (2 for 1). You can also ask for games at the bar, like yenga.
Opening hours are mon-sun 3 pm-3 am
Address: Calle Tecsecocha 415
THE GREEN POINT
For the vegetarians and vegans among us – no worries, there are some recommendable veggie restaurants as well. For example, “The Green Point”. This 100% vegan restaurant with an open-air terrace on the second floor offers a wide range of vegetable and tofu dishes. Prices are okay, and the tofu Burger will convince even the strongest meat lovers.
The restaurant is located in the San Blas area, at Carmen Bajo 235.
Opening hours: 8 am-10 pm

LA BODEGA 138
The more expensive version of a pizzeria is “La Bodega”. It’s not uncommon to pay between 30 and 40 soles for a meal (approx. 15 USD), but here you do not only pay for the food, but for the unique atmosphere in “La Bodega”. Located in a former residence, it also offers a look into Peruvian living. (The address is 138 Herrajes, Cusco).
Opening hours: 12 pm-10.30 pm
Price Pizza médium: S/. 52 soles
PriCe Pizza large S/. 72 soles
MAMA MIA
Another place with a complete menu for only 15 Soles (approx. USD $ 7) , is “Mama Mia”, located near the Plaza de Armas in Cusco. There is a ‘touristic menu’, including starters, main course and a drink. After ordering, you get a plate of Nachos with Guacamole and Garlic Bread, baked with cheese and various sauces, for free. Maybe you’re not completely full afterward, but for a small appetite, it’s quite good, and it helps you save some money.
Address: Calle Recoleta Angosta 555
After you finish dinner, go and have a look at all the bars and clubs located nearby. What about a free Salsa Lesson in “Mythology” or “Mama Africa”?
Hopefully this helps to make your choice a little easier and lets you have a nice time learning Spanish in Cusco.
