La Retama

Frommer's Review

Overlooking the Plaza de Armas from a huge second-floor space, La Retama is one of Cusco's most enduring favorites. The views and nightly folklore shows bring in the tour groups, of course, but the food is good enough to warrant a visit even by those who fear long tables with group leaders and interpreters. The menu focuses on classic highland Peruvian dishes, such as pink trout and kingfish from Lake Titicaca, seco de cordero (lamb), anticucho de lomo (beef brochette), cuy (guinea pig), and trout ceviche. International dishes include chicken curry and trout Florentine. The restaurant's walls are lined with the art and handicrafts of Peru, and there's also a gift shop.
