  • 2. Cafe Dos X 3

    $

    Pouring some of the best coffee in the city from a special house blend, this café is a Cusco icon; Martin Chambi photos help anchor it in Peru, but the jazz and bohemian atmosphere make it feel more cosmopolitan. It's great for a quick bite, as well as for picking up fliers on current cultural offerings. Try the passion-fruit cheesecake or tiramisu with your cappuccino, and head next door to the Cusco School of Fine Arts to see what's on display.

  • 3. Café Mayu

    $

This tiny spot serves big-city-style coffee, quick bites like empanadas, and to-go sandwiches that are perfect for your ride to Machu Picchu. The chocolate-chip cookies are as good as they smell, but you can't go wrong with any of the baked goods here.

  • 7. L'atelier Café-Concept

    $ | San Blas

    Slip into this sweet little café, which invites you to linger, especially if you manage to snag a balcony table. The coffee is as good as it should be in a French-owned place, and the handmade jewelry—some of which features Peruvian materials such as antique coins—the soft and stylish textiles, and the vintage clothing on sale and sprinkled throughout are downright dangerous.

  • 10. Le Buffet Francés

    $ | San Blas

    Although not a buffet in the American sense of all-you-can-eat, this French-owned café tests your restraint with the best pastries in town, as well as reasonably priced sandwiches on homemade bread, quiches, cheese and meat plates, salads, French wine, and, every Friday night, a special French dish of the week.

  • 11. MAP Café

    $$$$

    Museum eateries don't routinely warrant a mention, but this small, glass-enclosed, elegant café inside the courtyard of the Museo de Arte Precolombino is actually one of the city's top restaurants. It has top prices to boot, but it's still a bargain compared with what this quality meal would cost in New York or Los Angeles. Of its novel and exciting twists on traditional Peruvian cuisine, try the chicken estofado (stew) with goat cheese and raisins or the pork adobo on a bed of sweet potato mousseline à l'orange. The dessert presentation is so clever that you may not want to ruin it by eating it—but you'll be glad you did. The menu is prix-fixe after 6 (S/225), and you can choose one each from any of the appetizers, main dishes, and desserts; between 3 and 6, only dessert and coffee are served.

Add a store selling the best Peruvian coffee—perfect for taking home as a gift—and you have a stop you won't want to miss.
