I had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was excellent – every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed, making it easy to enjoy every moment. The service was outstanding, and Maite gave fantastic recommendations that made the evening even better. Truly a memorable experience – highly recommended! After checking in the hotel, we found this restaurant by Google Maps, the rating of 4.8 with over 5000+ people was impressive, so we did not think twice about any other choices.👍👍 It was really good indeed, I ordered stir-fry chicken and my friend ordered fresh catch of the day , both were excellent choice and recommendations. 😋😋 We got a glimpse of the end of a local folk music performance. 🎶🎶 The secret of getting 5000+ rating is that the waitress gave us two QR code for review, very smart!!!😊😊 Absolutely incredible dining experience! Yaku is hands down one of the best restaurants in Cusco. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Peruvian cuisine. Every dish is a masterpiece—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and showcasing the freshest local ingredients. The lamb was the best I’ve had in Peru, and the alpaca dish was cooked to perfection. What really sets Yaku apart is how they combine traditional recipes with creative, modern touches—it’s both authentic and innovative. It felt like more than just a meal; it was a culinary journey through the Andes. If you’re in Cusco, do not miss this gem. Yaku is truly unforgettable!

This is a great restaurant. Great vibe. Very relaxed casual. Reminds me of something in LA or Brooklyn in the Summer. Plenty of amazing fresh juice and drinks and desserts to choose from. Modern Peruvian cuisine. Had the Pork and another friend had the Lomo Saltado. All were good with bright fresh ingredients. Love the interior of the restaurant too and its outdoor seating area.

Such a gem in Cusco, you can only sit “outside” but they had little stove next to the tables that kept us warm. The food was delicious and looked as a piece of art and the music and staff was so nice!! Special thanks to Luis❤️ 10/10 would recommend
