Although easily overlooked, given its second-floor interior location in San Blas, this easygoing eatery with an emphasis on healthy, good-value meals (especially outstanding breakfasts) is worth tracking down. With a high ceiling and the airy, sun-filled look of an art studio, it’s perfect for the neighborhood. Run by a German woman who has a farm of the same name outside Cusco, the restaurant features fresh ingredients and products, such as yogurt, cheese, and quiches, that taste like they came straight from the farm.
You might expect only stuff that’s strictly good for you, but the menu also offers surprising meat dishes, including ostrich steak, and typical Peruvian dishes. The daily menú (served until 9:30pm) offers vegetarian and nonvegetarian choices and might start with pumpkin soup, followed by lamb or a veggie stir-fry, fruit salad, and tea. Don’t pass on dessert, or you’ll miss excellent home-baked cakes, such as the cheesecake or the irresistible Nelson Mandela chocolate cake.
