Why Travelers Love KUSYKAY Peruvian
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The place was really nice and the waiter was attentive. Yet, the alpaca loin steak was not edible. It was chewy and had a weird aftertaste. Not sure if all alpaca dish should taste that way. I couldn’t finish it. Their iced tea was refreshing, but more on the sour side. The maracuya (passion fruit) taste was dominating. It tasted like maracuya syrup with a hint of tea. They serve complimentary hot herbal drinks to all guests – which was good. Blown away by the flavour, and how a lot of the dishes can be changed to give someone’s who is vegetarian more choice on the menu. But I don’t think theres a single thing on the menu that wouldn’t taste amazing here. Rafael was really helpful in helping me pick some great choices First night in Cusco and the reviews and proximity to our hotel brought us to this restaurant. Our waiter Diego was very attentive and prompt with impeccable service. The food was outstanding and presentation matched the flavors. I had Ceviche a personal favorite and the portions were generous. My wife had the mixed skewers and could only finish half of her plate as it was overflowing. Highly recommend this establishment and our professional server Diego.

We had an amazing experience at KUSYKAY. José was our waiter. We had Pisco sours on the balcony in the sun which was fantastic for people watching and the drinks were so delicious. José explained how Pisco sours are made, and the ingredients which was such a nice touch. We had the grilled veggies as a snack and the presentation was beautiful. To finish they gave us complimentary mint tea and little brownies which was so lovely. We felt very spoilt. So happy we came here!

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was exceptional — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding; Jana is attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. The wine selection was excellent and paired perfectly with the meal. The ambience was warm and elegant, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, wine, and service all in one place! Love it
