Restaurant Aldea Yanapay

As you walk up the flight of stairs to the Restaurant Aldea Yanapay, you are greeted by the colorful crayon impressions of children’s artwork. The Restaurant Aldea Yanapay itself could be mistaken for a kindergarten, with cushions tossed on the floor as an indicator of its relaxed atmosphere. This is indeed a real restaurant, open from morning until night, offering up everything from huevos rancheros and Greek bread with tzatziki sauce, to pasta with bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes, Irish coffee and sangria. The Restaurant Aldea Yanapay raises funds for the non-profit Aldea Yanapay Project, an alternative school for disadvantaged children. Local musicians, clowns, and, not infrequently, tourists inspired to show off their guitar-picking aptitude also tend to perform there.

Traveler Reviews of Restaurant Aldea Yanapay

Delicious and for a good cause.

Wide selection of food, and all the food is of a very high quality. The prices are very reasonable. The employees earn proper wages and benefits as opposed to other places. Also all the profits go towards the Yanapay project.

Great change of pace

We heard about Yanapay from a stranger (a friend we had never met before) in the streets of Cusco. We had no idea what to expect so we were pleasantly surprised at the playful unique atmosphere and the great food. Thank you for giving us a memorable evening to share with our friends back in Maryland, USA.
