If you're a vegetarian, look no further; this is the best veggie restaurant in Cusco. We visited it several times during our stay.

Intimate atmosphere and delicious food. I'm not a vegetarian, but I didn't miss the meat in the vegetarian meals. The seasoning is fantastic. A pleasant surprise.

I ATE TOO WELL I was in Cusco for 3 days and ate at El Encuentro every single day. The portions are large, and they give you a starter, main course, and you can make your own salad. If there are 3 people, you could share two meals. Try the kombucha they make. The price of the meal is 12 or 13 soles. I don't have any photos or videos because I had a lot of fun eating.
