Apu Tasting Room

San BlasCusco

8.8

Eight courses arranged by altitude — starting at sea level with a tiradito and ascending to 4,200 meters of freeze-dried moraya and alpaca charqui — in a candlelit colonial house with eleven tables. It's the Sacred Valley's produce given full ceremony, and at roughly $95 it undercuts every equivalent in Lima. Two honest notes: the wine list is thin (do the pisco pairing instead), and course pacing assumes you've acclimatized — don't book it for arrival night.
