Why Travelers Love Chef House
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Excellent location with a river view and nice breeze. Food was slightly more expensive than bigger cities but that was to be expected. Quality was excellent and service was impeccable. We enjoyed our meal very much and will come here again time permitting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience at Chef House! Our waiter, Eber, was absolutely amazing and made our entire dining experience unforgettable! We tried the Guinea Pig, and it was cooked to perfection, so flavourful and beautifully prepared. To top it all off, Eber surprised us with free pisco sours after our meal, which was such a kind and generous touch. The service, food, and overall atmosphere at Chef House were top-notch. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience! I had a great experience here! It caught my eye as a I was walking near my hotel. They sat me by the water. My waiter, Carlos, had great recommendations and was very attentive. I enjoyed my food and the atmosphere. The other staff here were also super friendly and made me feel comfortable.

This is a great spot for dinner around your visit to Machu Picchu! The staff are very warm and inviting, and the food was great. I tried the alpaca, and was not disappointed. It was like beef tenderloin, but a little sweeter. Our server (Maria) was kind enough to leave us with little tokens to commemorate our visit. Highly recommended!
