Frommer's Review

A large and attractive modern two-level place right on the Plaza de Armas, popular with both young and old, the distinguished but somewhat pricey Inka Grill serves novo andino (modern Andean) fare and is one of Cusco's better dining experiences -- even if it's rarely exciting. Start with a bowl of yummy camote (sweet potato) chips and green salsa. The best dishes are Peruvian standards such as sautéed alpaca tenderloin served over quinoa (a grain) and ají de gallina (shredded chicken with nuts, cheese, and chile peppers), and desserts such as a coca-leaf crème brûlée. The extensive menu also includes a wide range of international dishes such as pizza, pasta, and risotto. If you like Inka Grill, check out MAP Café, its more upscale and sophisticated cousin within the Museo de Arte Precolombino.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
