Although MAP café occupies a
fraction of the Pre-Columbian Art Museum's colonial
patio, its modern and minimalist design -basically a
rectangle of glass and steel-, far from being disruptive,
fits perfectly in the antique atmosphere of the museum.
The cuisine, a highly sophisticated
cross-over of Peruvian, French, and Italian traditions,
features such inventive dishes as beef tenderloin in
mushroom sauce with Andean gratin dauphinoise, crayfish
and yellow potato gnocchi with rocoto-chilli sauce,
and lamb ragout pappardelle with broad beans, mushrooms
and parmesan cheese.
Considered one of Cuscos' best and
most elegant restaurant, reservations are a good idea.
