We ate supper there in May 2018 and attended the dinner show. The Quinoa soup with vegetables was fantastic as was the Grilled alpaca main course. The show was entertaining and portrayed peruvian local dress and dance.

We really enjoyed lunch here away from the tourist crowds having buffets at some of the other restaurants. Freshly cooked with laughter. Had chicken, steak and trout and all was perfectly cooked and tasty. Just what we needed after the drive from Arequipa.

We stopped to have a snack. I had a Coke Zero and chocolate cake. This is the best chocolate cake Iâve had at a restaurant in years! It is moist and luscious with great chocolate icing. My friends said the coffee was the best theyâd had in Peru.

Chivay has quite a few restaurants geared towards tourists at the plaza (think high prices and lots of selections) and we chose Cabanas because it was empty, looked warm, and had a TV that was showing the Peru soccer game. The staff was helpful with the menu (explaining what came with what dishes) and were patient while we decided on what to order. I settled on the Carbonara pasta, and my husband got the Lomo Saltado with alpaca. We both enjoyed our food, and the quantity was huge! The pasta had ham and lots of red onions... too many for my taste. Dinner for two was 34 soles, plus a tip. While it wasn't the best meal I've ever had, I would recommend Cabanas for other tourists to Chivay.

Pros- nice setting. Decor is lovely.Con:-Limited menu (pizza/alpaca/beef)-Could do with heating.-Service very slow for both food and drinks (30minutes for a pisco sour and 2.5 hours for a pizza....we were the only customers in the restaurant!)-we were a party of 4: all meals served at different times.-After 2.5 hour wait for pizza, it was burnt and inedible.-No apology from anyone for the huge wait.We paid our bill and went home hungry and cold.Avoid this place!

If you would like to taste great Cordero or Alpac or T bone meat prepared in the right way with excellent rice or crispy fried patatas then this is the place in town. But especially the attentive and pro active staff make your stay even better. Compliments for Gabriella! Such a nice person, smart and obliging, would love to take you with me.

Popular with guides to feed their groups at lunchtime, evidently. Beautifully laid out buffet in clay pots, using herbs and dried foods for decoration. Great range of foods for all tastes including vegetarian. Fantastic quinoa soup. Bread, Causa, salads and fruits, assorted meats including chicken wings.

Our tour bus stopped here for lunch. The buffet was 30 soles and selection was quite decent - wide variety of soups, salads, vegetables, chicken, alpaca, fish desserts. I particularly liked the quinoa soup, the hearty lentil soup (with potatoes and lamb meat) , and the trout. The desserts were also quite good. Tried a typical Peruvian Catcus friut and it was delicious. They accept Mastercard which was an additional plus for us.

Maray is a quiet and exclusive place where you can experience fine cuts of alpaca meat, trout, beef, lamb over hot volcanic rock on your table. You can enjoy a freshly prepared meal and cook it according to your personal taste, be it rare, medium or well

I´ve been in Peru for 3 weeks and really missed a taste of home. I went to Maray based on TA reviews solely. The pizza was very good. Most places in Peru make and bake the dough ahead of time or they use something akin to pita bread (without the pocket) for dough. Gross. I was happy to see they make their own dough and baked it there when they baked my pizza. Was it Italy? No. Would I go back, yes! As others mentioned they serve it on the hot stone they bake it on which made sure it stayed really hot for a looonnng time (cold food, I've found, is prevalent in Peru, unfortunately). My only negative is the service. Was fairly non-existent. I had to ask for everything I needed (no one checked in on me at all), however, that shouldn't keep you away, just plan for it. I did go at an odd time, 130pm on a Tuesday, so that might be part of it.
