La Casona

Ayacucho


This popular, ambience-filled courtyard restaurant has been recommended by several travelers for its big portions. It focuses on Peruvian food, such as the excellent trucha (river trout) and lomo saltado (strips of beef stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, potatoes and chili), and often has regional specialties.
