The Best Healthy Restaurants in Cusco

Located in the trendy neighborhood of San Blas, Green Point is like a rite of passage for all travelers visiting Cusco: you must pass through their doors at least once. There’s an upstairs and a downstairs, both cozy and brightly decorated. The service is surpassed only by their great menu, which requires patrons to make tough decisions between delicious options – you’ll probably come back more than once.

Greens Organic is more expensive than Green Point, but delivers for the price. The restaurant is on the corner of the Plaza de Armas in the historical center, in the heart of everything in Cusco. The restaurant prides itself on organic, locally grown food. The ingredients come fresh each day from a farm in the Sacred Valley.

You may not find another restaurant like this in the world. It’s part restaurant and part shaman shop, with jewelry and trinkets for sale lining the walls. One of the main tables is even filled with various local crystals used as centerpieces. The Shaman Restaurant offers both vegan and raw-diet options and even has menu items for those following the ayahuasca diet. In addition to enjoying fresh food, you also get a unique experience to take home with you.

Vida Vegan Bistro is another one of Cusco’s quality vegan restaurants. While it doesn’t get the same level of publicity as the other ones, it’s a restaurant you stumble upon and, after eating at once, never want to eat anywhere else again. It’s a small restaurant on the fringes of the historical center, offering beautiful, picture-ready dishes at fair prices.

Located just outside the Plaza de Armas, Organika has some of the freshest vegan options in Cusco at a price you can’t beat in the center of the city. They give you top-end food and presentation at half the price of some other places. With their numerous options, it’s a restaurant that you’ll likely visit multiple times.
