BBQ tasting class
I had such a wonderful experience with this tasting class in Peru! It was a fun and a good way to learn more about Peruvian cuisine and culture. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable and easy to follow.
The food we prepared was delicious, and I loved learning about the local ingredients, traditional techniques, and the stories behind the dishes. It was a great experience from start to finish, and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Peru. I'm from Texas and I enjoyed learning about different techniques Peruvians use to BBQ. I would happily recommend this class to anyone who loves food, cooking, or wants a more authentic cultural experience!
Operator response
Coming from Texas, you definitely know your BBQ, so we are absolutely honored that you loved learning our Peruvian fire-cooking techniques! We are so glad our friendly instructor made this cultural experience a highlight of your time in Cusco. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Tried different peruvian meats
The food was nice, he had different meat and vegetables. The guide was very kind and explained the dishes. There was a lot of waiting in between, luckily there was a great view. Maybe next time we could participate more.
Operator response
We are so glad you enjoyed the delicious food, the great views, and our kind guide! As this is an authentic barbecue experience over an open fire, the cooking process does take some time, but we completely understand your desire to be more hands-on. We always encourage participants to step in! But we will make sure this is more clear with the chef and participants for next time! We appreciate your feedback and will look for ways to increase guest participation while the meats are grilling. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Good barbecue with an amazing view
Overall a very nice experience. Lovely place with a very beautiful view over the city. It was nice having the cook explain everything about the food. Everything did take quite long though, overall it took about 2,5 hours, so it is good to keep in mind that you will have to wait until everything cooks as it will not be prepared beforehand. The food was tasty, I enjoyed the grilled vegetables as well as the meat, and the chimichurri dressing was great!
Operator response
Enjoying that beautiful view over the city while the barbecue sizzles is part of the magic! Since we prepare everything fresh over the open fire rather than beforehand, it does take a little time, but we are thrilled you felt the tasty meats and chimichurri dressing were absolutely worth the wait. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Good views, vibes and food.
Very knowledgeable chef! Nice food, and vibes! BBQ was great with lots of traditional food. If want to try the Peruvian beef heart, but are hesitant to try from the street vendors Def try it here. Very fresh and good quality food.
Super nice views of the city too, can see the whole city (and without having to slog up all of the hills)
Operator response
Giving guests a safe, high-quality environment to try traditional delicacies like Peruvian beef heart is exactly what we love to do! We are so glad you enjoyed the fresh food, the knowledgeable chef, and those spectacular city views without the uphill hike. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Tasting different vegetables and meat
It is cooked with fresh vegetables, where the guide takes you along with what he uses with an explanation. You can look along or comfortably enjoy the beautiful view. It was a fun experience, where you were taken along in the process and could enjoy the outdoors and the sun!
Operator response
Wat heerlijk dat je zo hebt genoten van de verse groenten, de zon en het prachtige uitzicht! We zijn erg blij dat onze gids je alles zo goed heeft uitgelegd tijdens het koken. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

The food was good in particular the sauce dressing on the meat. The experience was about 2.5 hours. The views from the restaurant are spectacular and good amount of people for the group size.

Amazing barbecue
We’ve had an amazing experience. Victor showed us everything and explained very well. The food and drinks tasted really great. They also provided enough really tasty vegetarian options. I think the only thing is, that most of the vegetarian people would prefer the vegetables being prepared separately from the meat.
Operator response
Thank you for your thoughtful review! 🔥 We're so happy you enjoyed the barbecue experience with Chef Victor and appreciated the delicious food, drinks, and vegetarian options. We also truly appreciate your helpful suggestion regarding separate preparation for vegetarian dishes, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience. We hope to welcome you back again!

Urban legend chef Victor bringing you the best of Peru’s cuisine
Chef Víctor is an urban legend. He enriched the live cooking with his profound knowledge of Peruvian cooking and his stories from cooking around the world (e.g., a cruise ship)
Needless to say, the food was excellent.
One of the most worthwhile and delicious ways to spend an afternoon in Cusco
Operator response

His passion for Peruvian cuisine and the stories he's gathered throughout his culinary journey make every class truly unique. We're thrilled you enjoyed both the food and the experience, and we hope to cook with you again on your next visit to Cusco!
