Worth the short taxi ride (it’s behind the stadium), Villa Venecia is Abancay’s most noteworthy restaurant. Serving up every local food imaginable, it’s the living embodiment of the Peruvian mantra bueno, barato y bastante (good, cheap and plentiful). The tallarines (spaghetti) are an Abancay specialty and the tamales are wonderful. Very family friendly.
