Cusco’s nights are chilly and that is why we think a warm comforting dinner (with artisanal beer on the side) is the way to go. La Bodega 138 has a homey feel and even better wood-fired pizzas. Visit this popular spot to start your night out on the town. Commence from slice to slice and end up hopping from bar to bar. 

Oculto may be the most hip place in Cusco. This intimate hidden gem is not only iconic for its natural wine bar but also for its creativity and fusion of international and Peruvian cuisine. Visit this minimalistic place for a refined night in the city, perfect to immerse in their unique cocktails list and for dessert, their heavenly chocolate mousse. 

Cercanía Pan y Café is an impeccable choice for an early run to the panadería. They are ready to satisfy your cravings, whether it is a sweet pastry with raspberries or a savoury sourdough sando. Visit this cute nook for a good breakfast, a mid-day latte or an early evening treat. Just because we are opinionated and love to give a suggestion, we encourage everyone to try their chocolate cake. 

Just a few blocks away from the beautiful Plaza de Armas is a colonial building that hosts the iconic Cicciolina. This renowned place blends the best Andean ingredients and techniques with classic Mediterranean recipes. Visit their tapas bar to get a bit of everything and then transition to the salon for a proper meal... legend says the gnocchi with Andean cheese are other-worldly. We suggest making prior reservations, yes plural. You will certainly be back.
