Mauka by Pía León Menu & Review
At Palacio Nazarenas, A Belmond Hotel, Cusco, Peru
Refined all-suite hotel dining room; chef-driven tasting and à la carte
Mauka is Palacio Nazarenas' reason many serious eaters choose this Belmond over Monasterio. Celebrated Peruvian chef Pía León leads a menu built on indigenous Cusco and Andean ingredients rather than coastal Lima clichés: think trout ceviche at 3,000 metres, fire-cooked tubers in bold sauces, and highland botanicals. The room matches the hotel's quieter contemporary luxury. León's fame from Kjolle and Central is real; do not invent Michelin stars for Mauka itself. This is the dinner to plan the Cusco nights around, especially before or after Sacred Valley legs.
Menu Highlights
- High-altitude trout ceviche with foraged onions
- Fire-cooked Andean tubers and highland produce
- Tasting and à la carte tracks from Pía León's kitchen
- Ingredient-led pairings with Peruvian wines and infusions
Reservation Tip
