Tampu Breakfast Buffet, Sanctuary Lodge, Machu Picchu, Peru

Reviewer: Foodnut.com

Tampu Breakfast Buffet walk thru in the Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu, Peru.

Why did we eat here? – Tampu is the main restaurant in the Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu. Breakfast and lunch are open to hotel guests & non-hotel guests (based on availability – reserve ahead). Breakfast buffet costs US$35. Dinner is open to hotel guests only. The other restaurant next door is a lunch buffet for the general public USD$44, that the hotel also runs.

Hotel guests get a free breakfast, lunch and dinner at Tampu. A great deal! Note: The hotel is not cheap but it’s the only option to stay next to Machu Picchu. A bucket list hotel for me.

We stayed at the hotel and ate lunch and dinner. Sanctuary Lodge is highly recommended! The service is unbelievable competent and extremely friendly.
Menu changes from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Menu Items are sourced from the local area, and almost everything comes in by train. A slightly lower cost bar menu is also available.

The food and drink were ‘free’ but better than expected. We would rate many dishes superior to places like Isolina in Lima. Daily Andean music 7:30-9pm. Allergens are clearly marked.

Service was extremely friendly and thorough. They work hard on dietary restrictions and will customize things for what the diner wants.

Breakfast Buffet Review:
Tampu has a compact breakfast buffet that hits it hard with variety and quality. You can also order several dishes including omelets, etc from a menu.

Extensive variety of fruits, cereals, yogurt, bakery items, gluten free and vegan bakery items, juices, mimosas, and much more. No American favorites like bacon, sausage, waffles and the like. Service was very good, considering only 2 tables were occupied! 8.5/10
