Restaurant Manu

At the top end of restaurant row, toward the hot springs, Manu — named for the great Amazon reserve — is a relaxed and friendly spot with a nice terrace and gardens. With a vaguely tropical look and feel, it’s just as good a place to hang out and sip pisco sours as it is to have lunch or dinner. If a group comes in, it can get pretty animated. Almost everyone seems to order pizzas baked in the wood-fired oven, but the menu also features lots of international and Peruvian items, including homemade pastas, baked trout, and grilled chicken.
