Cusco, the perfect setting for a gourmet experience

Cusco is not only the historic heart of the Inca Empire, but also an epicenter of Peruvian gastronomy. Here, chefs combine ancestral techniques with modern innovations, creating dishes that are a true sensory experience. Additionally, the magical atmosphere of the city, with its cobblestone streets and views of the Plaza de Armas, adds a special touch to every dinner. The combination of history, culture and gastronomy makes Cusco the ideal place for an unforgettable gourmet experience.


Dishes that define the gourmet experience in Cusco

One of the star dishes of Peruvian gourmet cuisine is ceviche, which in its gourmet version becomes a work of art. With fresh fish, innovative tiger's milk and touches of ají limo chili, this dish is an explosion of freshness and flavor. Another example is lomo saltado, which in the hands of gourmet chefs transforms into a dish with yellow chili foam and presentation worthy of a museum. We can't forget rocoto relleno, a Cusco classic elevated to new levels with sophisticated fillings and impeccable presentation.


Innovation and tradition in every bite

Peruvian gastronomy doesn't just cling to its roots - it also innovates. Chefs like Gastón Acurio and Virgilio Martínez have taken Peruvian cuisine to new levels, fusing modern techniques with traditional recipes. At Hanz Restaurant, we follow this philosophy, offering dishes that respect tradition but with a gourmet touch. Each plate celebrates the diversity of ingredients and flavors that Peru offers.
