What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
A Mi Manera is praised for its exceptional Peruvian hospitality, warm ambiance, and beautifully presented, flavorful dishes. Many highlight the outstanding service, with specific waiters often commended for their attentiveness and knowledge. While most reviews are glowing, a few mention dishes being over-salted or appearing reheated, though these seem to be outliers.
"Review as a solo traveller, but it’s also a beautiful setting for couples. The ambience is warm and inviting. Would def return and recommend.
The complementary starter was a delightful introduction to the meal, offering a rich, deep mango flavor subtly enhanced by a hint of the ceviche’s signature tang. The presentation was stunning, reflecting the impeccable work of the staff.
The chicken dish was a standout, far exceeding its simple translation of “spicy chicken.” The flavors were elevated and complex, with a creamy sauce base that was simply exquisite. The interplay of ingredients—earthy olives, delicate quail eggs, and tender potatoes—created a comforting yet sophisticated flavor profile. Paired with perfectly cooked rice, every bite was a pleasure until I was too full to continue.
The complementary dessert, a ball of chocolate in caramel was amazing, not too sweet and a perfect end to the night.
The service was exceptional, with the servers moving with purpose and pride. From the thoughtful touch of offering warm towels to their meticulous attention to detail, it was clear they were fully dedicated to creating an outstanding dining experience. Their behind-the-scenes coordination and genuine care for their guests were refreshing, especially compared to the North American restaurant scene. My first night dining in Cusco, at A Mi Manera, felt like a warm embrace into the heart of Peruvian hospitality.
Equally impressive was the kitchen, where watching the chefs was like witnessing a well-choreographed performance. Each task was carried out with care and efficiency, ensuring every dish was freshly prepared and meticulously checked for quality. The wait, if any, was justified by the magical results—food crafted with attention, precision, and pride. A Mi Manera delivered an experience that was as welcoming as it was unforgettable."

"The owner of our hotel was right... we tried it anyway, given the reviews... Potato appetizer with trout: In my opinion, the trout wasn't there; it was masked by finely chopped tomatoes, and it was so spicy you couldn't taste it. If you cook fish, why hide it? The second course was the chicken. The inside was good, but the outside was clearly reheated several times, dry and illogical, along with the sauce, which was also cold. The chicken eaten at street stalls deserves better. The guy who served it was a good example, he was extremely kind."

"A Mi Manera is a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a delightful evening.
The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The menu offers a fantastic variety of options, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy.
What made our visit even more special was the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Yarien. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Yarien went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making excellent recommendations and ensuring that our experience was nothing short of perfect.
If you're looking for a place that combines outstanding food with top-notch service, A Mi Manera is the place to go. We can't wait to return and enjoy another meal here!"

5 Best restaurants in Cusco 2018
A mi manera is in the second floor of a beautiful colonial mansion, just one block from the Main Square. Here you will find great food, good ambiance, nice decor and excellent service. We recommend the traditional Cusco dish Adobo cusqueño (pork shoulder marinated in corn beer, red chili pepper, vegetables and garlic), Ají de gallina (shredded chicken in a creamy nut, parmesan and yellow chili pepper sauce, served with potatoes, quailt egg and rice) or their versions of Lomo saltado and Cuy (Guinea pig).

The Ultimate Cusco Restaurant Guide
I wanted to grab a quick lunch before my flight out of Cusco, so I stopped at A Mi Manera, which specializes in homemade pastas. I had the penne rigattis infernales. It’s penne smothered in cheese.
