Marcelo Batata

Top choice in Cuzco


A sure bet for delectable Andean cuisine with a twist. Marcelo Batata innovates with traditional foods to show them at their best – like the humble tarwi pea, which makes a mean hummus. The chicken soup with hierba Luisa (a local herb), is exquisite, alongside satisfying beet quinotto (like risotto), tender alpaca and twice-baked Andean potatoes that offer crispy-creamy goodness.

A daring array of cocktails is best savored on the rooftop deck – the city views make it the top outdoor venue in Cuzco.
