An engaging, artsy ambience here is combined with delicious tourist-oriented cuisine. Think imaginatively prepared llama dishes, excellent meat plates, one interesting veggie option and great salads. The trout, steamed in spinach leaves and topped with roast pumpkin, is quite good. Service can be a bit standoffish. Book a table in advance on weekends.
