2 Best Restaurants in The Southern Andes and Lake Titicaca, Peru

Crepisimo

$

With an extensive variety of sweet and savory crepes, as well as quality espresso, pisco sours, and craft beers, you could easily spend the day in this artistic, Euro-styled restaurant, little sister to the Zig Zag restaurant on Calle Zela. Check out the terrace for great views of the Monasterio de Santa Catalina and volcanoes. Crepisimo also offers prix-fixe menus for 30 or 35 soles and happy hour specials from 4 to 6 pm and 9 to 11 pm.

Pacha Restaurant & Draft Bar

$
Right next to Puno's Catedral, this Novo Andino restaurant pairs good food and a social atmosphere with a selection of Peruvian craft and imported Belgian beers, some of the strongest in the world. The cuy, trucha, alpaca, and cebiche dishes are all tasty and well-presented; there's a good-value tourist menu; and the local, award-winning tunki coffee, bittersweet and strong, is the cherry on top.
