For upmarket Andean fare, this cheerful restaurant with killer plaza views is a good bet. Try the rocotto soufflé, a twist on the classic stuffed pepper, or cuy that's been wood-oven fired. It's also the perfect place to try chicha de jora, a traditional fermented corn drink sold on the street, made here with purified water. For dessert: syrupy picarones (sweet potato dumplings)!
