Dinner at Indio Feliz, Machupicchu Pueblo, Peru
As previously mentioned, Indio Feliz is the only non-pizzeria in all of Machu Picchu Pueblo. It is owned by a French Peruvian couple in what looks to be their early 50s. A 3 course meal was about $12 per person.
Fresh Tomato Soup with Parmasean
The soup was fresh and tasted good, but was nothing special.
Trujillo Melon with Elderberry Licqour
Melon balls and watermelon drenched in a sweet elderberry licqour. When Alexis had finished, there was still quite a bit of licqour at the bottom of the melon bowl. The owner rushed over a straw and insisted that she suck it all down. A nice way to start a meal.
Passionfruit Chicken
A bit sweet but the chicken was moist and tender.
Garlic Potato Chips
The entrees were served with these lovely, freshly fried potato chips that had then been dredged in raw garlic and herbs. Peru has some 600 types of potatos and we were always getting them in new ways.
Also served with the entrees was a sweet potato (this delicate version with a purple skin was quite nice), broiled, stuffed tomatos, and green beans.
Apple Tart with Creme Anglaise
Standard.
Chocolate Mousse
Not light or airy enough, but good flavor.
