Café Illampu
Café Illampu is a 15-minute down-and-up walk from town, this lovely relaxing spot is en route to the San Pedro cave. Leave it for the return journey, for if you stop here on the way to the cave, you might not make it as the place is exceedingly tranquil (views, garden, llamas), and there’s good coffee, sandwiches on homemade bread and great cakes – the Swiss owner is a master baker.

Las Delicias de Carmen
Doña Carmen serves up some of the best empanadas in town. Or you can go for the set lunch, which features the town’s best salad and a tasty meat or pasta dish. The dining area is less rustic than that of many San Pedro eateries, giving it a bit of a cafeteria feel. Nevertheless, it is clean, honest and, well, good.
