Restaurants in Quebrada De Humahuaca

  1. Los Puestos

    Though a little touristy – we can’t guarantee you won’t be treated to a rendition of ‘Sounds of Silence’ on the panpipes at lunchtime – this makes up ground with its decor of local stone and chunky wood. Tasty regional specialties feature heavily – barbecued llama (AR$24) is one – but it’s small touches, such as tiny bread rolls straight from the clay oven, that win friends.

  2. Música Esperanza

    This outreach-via-music NGO puts on regular concerts and also runs a pretty little restaurant in this cultural center on the main street. Quinoa stew and local trout are among the dishes presented. Opening hours are somewhat irregular; call ahead or drop by.

  3. El Portillo

    Attractively decorated with cactus-wood furniture and booth tables, this popular restaurant has poor service and a simple menu, which mostly consists of llama in a variety of rather similar creamy sauces. There’s live music every night from 8pm.

  4. Rincón del Colla

    Easily recognizable next to the church with its cheerful murals, this is a restaurant that has raucous live folklorica in the evenings. It's not to everyone's decibel comfort, but writers have highly praised the rabbit stew.

  5. Peña de Carlitos

    Hit the corner of the square for this cheery longstanding local restaurant, which offers live folkloric music with no cover charge every night, more of a mix of locals and visitors than in most places, and low-priced regional dishes.

    This warm and attractive corner restaurant is hung with basketry and large dreamcatchers. It serves simple llama dishes, and also a tasty bean and quinoa stew. Portions are generous. There’s live music nightly from 9pm.

  7. El Patio

    Tucked away between the plaza and the church, this has a lovely shaded patio and garden seating. It offers a wide range of tasty salads, inventive llama dishes and a far-from-the-madding-crowd atmosphere.
