Local cuisine is an important aspect of my travels, and Cusco at first glance was a bit difficult town for me in that regard. I loved Cicciolina but not for when I wanted something more Peruvian. Pacha Papa did the job for me. Menu had lots of traditional dishes to choose from, and I had causa to start and lamb... more

We ate here 4 times. The soups are great. Lovely indoor or outdoor setting. more

We wanted to try this restaurant because we heard it was a great place for local food. Although we couldn't order the pachamanca (minimum of 12 ppl), we started off with a potato soup (excellent) and tamales (average), and then moved onto the alpaca stew (surprisingly tasty, similar to pork imo).

Highly recommended, Pacha was our choice for the big night out in Cusco. They seemed to be out of everything. No chicken, no ceviche, no cuy, no duck. Of the 6 entrees we ordered, only the Lomo Saltado had any flavor. My lamb dish was terribly overcooked, a small portion in a tasteless sauce. Two of our group, who can... more

Located right in the heart of San blas this is a great restaraunt with both local peruvian cuisine and more international flavours as well. Indoor or Outdoor seating and excellent lemonade. more

Pacha Y Papa was just a fantastic dining experience all around. The ambiance was great. The food was unique and well prepared, and the service was outstanding. During my visit there was a local musician playing a peruvian harp-like instument throughout lunch. I had some kind of Peruvian Crawfish soup (see picture) with Cholo corn, and fresh bread right out... more

I'd go for the Peruvian stuff - and I'd eat there again! more

Although this was definitely better than average, I just can't bring myself to give it four or five stars. Frankly, I thought the food was just alright. I had the adobo de chancha and some appetizer that I can't recall (I guess it was forgettable). They were good, but nothing worth raving about. But the dining area, which is outdoors,... more
