Chicha by Gaston Acurio
Menu by Limeñan celebrity chef (l,d; $$)
Chicha is a lovely upstairs restaurant on Plaza Regocijo with great views across to the Plaza de Armas and San Blas.
Chicha is best if you want to try something new and different, and don’t have any dietary restrictions.
This is a great spot for creative takes on traditional Peruvian dishes. The menu changes frequently and there are few vegetarian options. Sometimes there are things I like on the menu, and sometimes the only options that look good are pizza or pasta, which are better at Carpe Diem.
Expect prices to be amongst the highest in Cusco and reservations are recommended.
Location: west side of Plaza Regocijo
Open noon to 10:30pm
