Food was delicious! Our server Roxana was very attentive and suggested us the plates we would enjoy as locals along with something that suited my husband's picky stomach. The view of the river is gorgeous and you get to enjoy the sound, the nature, and at times when the train drives through as well. An amazing experience. Came here for my husband's birthday after descending machu picchu. Perfect and amazing food. AMAZING!!!! Michael our server was absolutely amazing and gave us great suggestions for food. Every single dish was a hit, even with our kids. We had the Cuy, Alapaca con Salsa de Guindones, Arroz Chaufa de Pollo, and the Ceviche de Trucha for appetizer. Everything was delicious!!! Our adult beverages were also amazing. Just the best I’ve had! Frienly pro-active staff and the guinea pig meal was delicious. We also ordered the chicken in bread crumbs which was a tiny bit dry but still delicious. The best part by far is the view out of the back over the river which is stunning. Prices are a tiny bit high but it's cusco so not a surprise.
