FOOD IN CUSCO AND PERU

In Cusco, you will not have to worry about food, because the different restaurants of the city offer a varied menu, an excellent service and an exquisite flavoring. You don't need to ask for more.
Most of the restaurants are in the surroundings of the Main Square.

The prices suit all the budgets and vary according to the service quality and type of food.
But if you want to taste the typical food of the country, we recommend you to go by the "picanterías" (restaurants specialized in spicy dishes) and "chicherías" ("chichi" drink sellers) where you will find dishes like the quso kapiche (prepared specially in November and December). It is a stew of green broad beans and boiled potatoes, seasoned with onion, garlic, butter, milk and hot chili pepper.
Other recommended dishes are "timpo" or "puchero", typical dish for the Tuesday of carnival, which is a soup of cow breast, head of lamb, pork fat and legs, cabbage leaves, potatoes, garbanzo beans and rice, among other products. You must also taste "pepián" (chili stew) from rabbit or guinea pig.
To drink, we recommend you "chicha de jora". An Andean drink prepared with fermented corn.

However, if you want to try typical Cuscan food, we recommend you make a round of the Cusqueñan "picanterías" and "chicherías", to try some native dishes. If around in November or December you could try Quso Kapiche, a stew of boiled lima beans and potatoes, seasoned with onion, garlic, lard, milk and red pepper.

On Carnival Tuesday, in February, a traditional soup prepared with beef, lamb, bacon, pork, cabbage leaves, potatoes, chick peas and rice is served.

You should also try rabbit or guinea pig "pepián". "Chicha de jora"; an Andean beverage made from fermented corn, is also worth a try.
