More Cusconian quality


Cicciolina (www.cicciolinacuzco.com) is widely regarded as one of Cusco’s top restaurants. And rightly so. Let me cut straight to the chase – I went for their special of the day, a fresh tuna steak, chargrilled to perfection on the outside and deliciously rare in the middle, accompanied by a slightly sweet and spicy sauce no doubt infused with some form of aji. Not pictured is a classic ossabucco, also more than worthy of a try.


And for dessert, we had another dish to fuel our lucuma addiction. This time the stars of the dessert show were an intensely rich lucuma cream partnered by a dark chocolate mousse topped with sea salt.  Again, simply sublime, and needs no further description.
