    Pizzería Italiana

    The wood-burning oven makes this a very cozy place on cold nights; musicians may wander in and the pizza is excellent.

    Restaurant Los Alamos

    In an attractive patio within the hotel of the same name, this restaurant has good service and a long menu of Peruvian selections and a few vegetarian plates; it may have musicians in the evening.

  6. Café Miel

    Breakfast is the best time to visit this recommended place with its chirpy atmosphere and checkered tablecloths – we’re talking great fruit salads and Ayacucho’s best (freshly brewed) coffee. It serves hearty lunches and great chocolate cake too.

  7. F

    La Casona

    This popular, ambient restaurant has been recommended by many for its big portions. It focuses on Peruvian food like the excellent lomo saltado and often has regional specialties but seems to have difficulty serving even slightly chilled beer.

  8. Cuatro Leños

    Chronic carnivores can take pleasure in sinking their teeth into a variety of ample parrilladas including anticucho de corazón (beef-heart kebabs) or a filling parilla mixta especial with pork, chicken and res. There's also karaoke performances in the evenings.

  9. Wallpa Sua

    This is an upscale, locally popular and ever-busy chicken restaurant, with a quarter-chicken and fries starting at S6 and various other meat plates (like beef-heart brochettes) available. Wallpa sua is Quechua for ‘chicken thief’ – makes you wonder where it gets its poultry supplies.

    Urpicha

    This is a homey place, with tables in a flower-filled patio and an authentic menu. Order the house special: the chef’s mix of the top dishes of the day. It has a bit of a local cult following and few outsiders make it down here. However, the neighborhood isn’t great, so take a taxi after dark.

  12. H

    El Niño

    In a colonial mansion with a sheltered patio containing tables overlooking a garden, El Niño specializes in grills yet dishes up a variety of Peruvian food. The individual parrillada is good, although in practice sufficient for two modest eaters. This is one of the city’s best restaurants.

  13. Adolfo's Gourmet

    If you can score one of the seven outside balcony tables, you'll dine with one of the best views in Ayacucho: the Plaza de Armas and all its activity. Upstairs on the 2nd floor Adolfo's does pizzas, pastas and a sprinkling of Peruvian dishes. Good sangria and excellent pizza make for a satisfying feed.
