Chez Maggy Review

This bustling little joint, which has been around for almost 30 years and spawned several branches in Cusco and other parts of Peru, has a bit of everything, from trout and alpaca to homemade pastas to Mexican food, but most people jam their way in for the freshly baked pizzas made in a traditional wood-burning brick oven. They're some of the best in Cusco (even though every other restaurant in Cusco seems to be a pizzeria). Chez Maggy is usually packed in the evenings, and there's often live Andina music when roaming street musicians pop in to entertain diners. The restaurant is a long corridor with shared bench tables full of gringos -- you might just meet other travelers as you jockey for elbow space. Incredibly, three other locations are along Procuradores, better known as Gringo Alley. If you want a pizza on the terrace of your hostal, Chez Maggy will deliver for free.

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.
