Tarapoto Restaurants

  1. Café d' Mundo

    A funky establishment illuminated nightly by moody candlelight, this hip restaurant and bar has outdoor seating and snug indoor lounges. Good pizzas, pastas and other tidbits are on the small menu, and a full bar will help you pass the rest of the evening away comfortably. The continually roaring mototaxis tend to detract from the mood a little, however.

  2. El Brassero

    Carnivores congregate at this great grill. Choose your cut and it's grilled for you; pork ribs are the specialty, funky acid-jazz tunes are a bonus. The owners love to chat - they only close when the coals die down and people leave.
