La Cabaña - Huancayo - Restaurants, Cafes & Food Reviews

La Cabaña is the restaurant linked to Incas del Peru and La Casa de la Abuela (perhaps another brainchild of Lucho). It´s across the road from the hostel, so it makes convenient eating. In fact, because I eat most of my meals at the hostel, La Cabaña is basically the only other place in Huancayo that I´ve eaten. It´s best known for its pizzas, which are great and come out much quicker than the hamburgers, which, while tasty, are rather flat (literally flat. weird). They also have great vino caliente - hot wine, which tastes like sangria but hot. I wouldn´t order another hot chocolate, but that´s because I´ve been spoilt for them, and if you like papaya, apple and pineapple, then you might want to order one of their two fruit salad desserts, which come with (strawberry) yoghurt, honey, nuts, grains, ice cream or chocolate sauce on request. The chocolate cake might look good on the outside but is a little dry on the inside - ask for extra sauce or ice cream. For Huancayo, it´s pricey, but relatively cheap compared to other countries. Pizzas range from 20 - 28 soles (small - large) - that´s about AU$8 - $11. A litre of vino caliente will set you back 15 soles. They also have live folkloric music Thurs - Sat nights. Not a bad place to stumble home from.
