1. La Granja del Colca
$$ | |Set along the highway to Cabanaconde near Cruz del Condor and surrounded by ample fields, the hotel Kunturwassi is best known for its excellent organic restauran. All the food, including meats, is sourced or raised locally. You can go hiking or take a horseback riding tour after your meal.

2. La Nueva Palomino
$$ | Yanahuara |Chef Mònica Huertas is one of the great promoters of arequipeña cuisine, and, to many, this is the most authentic restaurant in town. She uses many of the same classic recipes—some more than a century old—that her mother and grandmother used, and her preparations of regional standards such as rocoto relleno, adobo, lechón al horno (oven-roasted pork), chupe de camarones, and queso helado (ice cream) have become the definitive recipes. This sprawling picantería with a maze of pleasant patios and dining rooms is a great place to come on the weekend and spend the entire day eating, drinking, and listening to live music.
Pje. Leoncio Prado 122, Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru054-252–393Known For
- Legendary recipes
- Authentic local dishes
- Sprawling grounds and gardens

3. La Table Del'Inca
$$ | |This chic, French-Peruvian restaurant, one of the best bets in town for a nice meal, is set in a beautifully renovated colonial building, where the walls are adorned with paintings by a local surrealist. Although you can order dishes à la carte, it's better to opt for the prix-fixe menu, which will allow you to try more dishes for a lower price. The menu is small but varied, and the servings are abundant and well-choreographed: in particular, try the cebiche tipo tartare and the yummy muslo de cuy, the local guinea pig, glazed in honey and garlic.

4. Mojsa
$$ | |Located in a beautiful colonial building, there are a couple of intimate tables on the balcony overlooking the Plaza de Armas, while the more lively interior rooms make it seem like a popular place to eat for both Peruvians and travelers. Mojsa, which means "delicious" in the Aymara language, serves reasonably priced Novo Andino cuisine, fused with fresh traditional and criollo flavors in an elegant space with wood floors and a long bar.
Lima 635, Puno, Puno, Peru051-363–182Known For
- Beautiful building
- Reasonable prices
- Attentive service

5. Zig Zag Restaurant
$$ | |Everything here—from its grand iron spiral staircase and sillar stone walls to its Novo Andino cuisine, extensive wine list, and decadent desserts—is done with exquisite detail and attention. See that spiral staircase? It was built by Gustave Eiffel. The menu, using a fusion of gourmet techniques from the Alps and Andes, is a harmonious mix of fresh local foods. Try the quinoa potato gnocchi (served with your own choice of mushroom or meat sauce), the meat fondue, or the notable Trios, a prime cut of three meats: alpaca, ostrich, and beef, slow-cooked and served on a hot stone with three dipping sauces. You'll want to make reservations, especially for dinner and, if you book ahead of time, you can reserve one of the romantic balcony nooks.
Zela 210, Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru054-206–020Known For
- Delicious fusion cuisine
- Elegant architecture
- Fabulous service

6. Alma Bar Restaurante
$$ | |With its placement in the gorgeous Casa Andina Premium hotel, a historic monument, this gourmet restaurant is worth a visit for the setting alone. The menu is quite varied, using local ingredients to create international dishes as well as give a new flair to traditional Peruvian ones, like rocoto relleno con pastel de papa(stuffed red peppers) or carpaccio de lomo(beef carpaccio). The bar has some tasty craft beers and a popular happy hour from 6 to 8.
Calle Ugarte 403, Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru054-226–907Known For
- Historic setting
- Nice atmosphere
- Inventive cuisine

7. Alma Cocina Viva
$$ | |Inside the Casa Andina Premium Puno hotel, this contemporary eatery with cozy fireplaces is one of the few upscale options in the city. The lake views alone are worth the visit, and prices are similar to those at the town's lesser alternatives. Although options include international dishes, among them sandwiches and salads, more enticing are the modern takes on dishes that use regional ingredients like trout, lamb, quinoa, and herbs.

8. Balcones de Puno
$$ | |Come to this upscale tavern, tucked on the first floor of a heritage building hemmed with wooden balconies, to try a range of alpaca- and quinoa-based dishes, all served with zest and creativity. The wood-fired pizzas are also recommended. One of the real highlights here are the daily traditional dance and music shows organized to entertain guests starting at 7:30 pm.
Libertad 354, Puno, Puno, Peru051-365–300Known For

- Good wood-fired pizza

9. La Trattoria del Monasterio
$$ | |This intimate restaurant serves some of the best Italian food in southern Peru, and if you're not sure you want Italian food in Peru, its special location in the Monasterio de Santa Catalina (the entrance is outside the compound, though windows look in) is enough to merit a visit and a meal. A fusion menu featuring homemade pastas (try the delicious cannelloni with lomo saltado), gnocchi, and risottos—paired with seafood, meats, and creative, savory sauces—is offered, and although there are Novo Andino options, you can find them elsewhere, so stick with the excellent Italian fare here. There's also an extensive wine list. It usually gets pretty packed at lunchtime, so book ahead, or come for dinner instead.
Cl. Santa Catalina 309, Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru054-204–062Known For

10. Lazos and Zingaro
$$ | |Rubbing walls with each other, these two restaurants are part of the same franchise and are a good choice for a fine parrilla (Lazos) or fusion Peruvian-European dishes and wines (Zingaro). Lazos is one of Arequipa's best steak houses, so meat is what you come for—and there is plenty of it, including delicious cuts of beef, alpaca, and sausage; Zingaro, on the other hand, adds a local twist to international plates like pastas and has an extensive fish menu. The beautiful, narrow, arched dining rooms with white sillar walls makes you question whether you should be paying more for the environment. The wine list is quite global, though you'll find better values if you stick with Argentina and Chile.
San Francisco 309 & 313, Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru054-399–895Known For
- Grilled meats
- Extensive wine list
- Expensive-feeling setting
