“Beautiful garden restaurant with great food!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

It was a bit difficult to find, but once we crossed the door, it was like entering to a secret garden. They have tables in and outside, so we chose to eat outside, near the garden. It was awesome; the garden is beautiful and lush, and the food is amazing. I had an spectacular green curry and my boyfriend had... More

My wife and I arranged a cooking class at El Huacatay during a recent trip to Peru. Chef Pio was unavailable on the day we were in Urubamba, so our lesson was taught by Chef Eduardo. Chef Eduardo is a very friendly fellow and a friend of Chef Pio. He has his own restaurant in Urubamba and is a business... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2012

Lots of fresh options. Gorgeous, enormous salad. Had nice Thai green curry with amaranth coated bananas. Sounds weird? Maybe but it tasted very good. More

“the very best .... a must see”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2012

Pio the chef owner was kind enough to do a cooking experience with my husband and I. It was amazing and so down to earth. We both feel closer to the Peruvian culture and people because of it. Having these one on one timed with the true heart best of a country is just unexplainable. But to know a country... More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2012

I had the alpaca, and can absolutely recommend it. The service was somewhat slow, but we were fine with that. The cozy interior dining area was comfortable. More

“Good Food with a great ambiance”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2012

We started off with the Trucha (trout) Carpacio & Bunuelos w/ Ricotta. The presentation was nice & the food was prepared very well. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of fresh water fish, that being said i ate most of it so it did taste good, the bunuelos were good as well. For our entrees we had Lomo Saltado Mixto... More

“We Like It So Much We Went Back A Second Time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2012

We dined twice during our 6-night stay in Urubamba, and each meal was exceptional. The first evening, we were a group of nine - and we were provided with a wonderful table and great service. Each of us us raved about our meal selection (and appetizers and dessert) - it was a special evening for all of us. Our second... More

“A chic spot for cuisine”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2012

Peruvians take their cuisine seriously, and foodies will enjoy the options at El Huacatay, tucked away on a back street in Urubamba. There is a charming terrace for drinks, and 2 small dining rooms. It's intimate and charming. More
