Cusco (Urubamba): Alhambra Hacienda Restaurante (August 2005)

Located in the Urubamba-Ollantaytambo area, Alhambra Hacienda Restaurante is a hacienda-style restaurant targeting bus tours, but in a more relaxed and intimate manner. The dining rooms are small, and there are tables outdoors under a thatched roof, with lovely garden and mountain views. Its buffets are only on market days. At other times, the three-course menu turĂ­stico ($15) is excellent; choose main courses such as stuffed lake trout with quinoa in a nut sauce.
