Owned by a friendly French-Peruvian couple, here the cook whips up fantastic, farm fhesh meals.

The French/Peruvian owned serves up the best and safest food in town, best described as Peruvian cuisine with French touches, served in American portions. The two-story restaurant has a peaceful homey feel, with tables in a sunny upstairs dining room. The four-course set menu is huge and, when we were there,
included quiche Lorraine, sopa criolla, lemon or garlic trout, ginger chicken and apple pie. There is so much food in fact, that a single meal can be divided for two people, something the kitchen is happy to do. There is a real espresso, calla lilies on all the tables and opera music in the background.

A restaurant named "The Happy Indian" might not sound too P.C., especially for a place that sits at the foot of a city abandoned by the incas sometime before the spanish invaded, but this is Aguas Calientes's best restaurant. An attractive and friendly two-level place with lots of plants, it's usually
jam-packet with gringos, save the backpacker set. Even though its fixed-price menú is a great value, the restaurant qualifies as distinctly upscale in this ramshackle town. Nearly everyone opts for the three-course menú because ordering a la carte will get you basically the same thing at higher prices. Starters
include quiche Lorraine and sopa a la criolla (Peruvian milk-based soup); the standout among main courses is the lemon or garlic trout. The ginger chicken is also quite nice, as are the desserts.
