Tinkuy is the lunch buffet that even non hotel guests can reserve for lunch. It costs about US$44 per person and has a wide variety of items. I presume the same kitchen prepares this food as next door. It is open 11am-330pm. Online reservations are through their Facebook page. Hack to Comfortably take 2 Machu Picchu Routes done in 1 day!

Why did we eat here? – Quipas is a restaurante de cocina peruana contemporánea ubicado in Lima, Peru. Not a big spot, about 12 tables and a bar counter. They serve lunch and dinner. This was our first dinner in Peru and a highly anticipated one that is rated at 4.9 on Google. (They do ask you to leave a review after you pay) A fellow foodie suggested we try this spot. We were trying to get the best of Peru, but without tasting menus. Check out our Peru 2026 Trip Restaurant Reviews Reservations are necessary but can be easily made online. The first diners at 7pm where all Americans! Menu is bigger than expected with lots of starters and entrees. English menu is available. Not a lot of vegetarian options. Come with a larger party to try more dishes. They take dietary restrictions seriously. The food was beautiful and was even better than expected. Dishes just worked. Even a special dessert was created on the fly to maneuver around a dietary restriction. Service was very good with folks passing by all the time. No the type of overwhelming service you get at a 3 star spot. Friendly with lots […]

3 Michelin stars in 2026 and Deservedly so! One of the top restaurants in SF.. Especially for service. Quince is a high end restaurant in San Francisco’s Jackson Square area, near the Financial District run by chef-owner Michael Tusk. He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, has cooked extensively in Europe, and used to work at Stars, Oliveto, and Chez Panisse. Our last visit was in Summer 2026, when we found the food better than the year before. What kind of food does Quince serve. They serve modern California cuisine with northern Italian influences with Alice Waters inspired freshness. This restaurant focuses on local, organic, seasonal ingredients. Quince SF has a fantastic casual Italian restaurant next door with a huge fancy parklet – Cotogna. Quince Decor, Vibe – This is a modern elegant, dimly lit romantic restaurant with stylish chandeliers, exposed brick in the back, and high ceilings. Large main dining area with peripheral area in the back, long bar to the side, lounge in front, and a private dining room. Huge 10,000-bottle wine cellar. Clearly this is an special occasion restaurant. After receiving 3 Michelin stars, they are no doubt a major destination of foodies visiting from around […]

We have been coming here for years to Boulevard San Francisco Restaurant near the Ferry Building in the Embarcadero waterfront area. It is one of our favorite places as it is pretty consistent.. Always a candidate for the short list of best restaurants. It earned One Michelin Stars last in 2015 and lost it after. Nancy Oakes open Boulevard, a New American/French comfort food restaurant way back in 1993. She opened nearby Prospect in 2010. Alumni Ravi Kapor now runs Liholiho Yacht Club. Our last visit was in the summer of 2026 where we found  the food quality still very good. Boulevard’s busy Kitchen in Action Boulevard Decor, Vibe – Pat Kuleto design with an “intimate Belle Epoque aesthetic”. Cool ceiling in the front, with thin bricks adorning the ceiling. Couples, business people, and groups were all enjoying the fine food. The decor was updated in 2021 before they re-open during the pandemic. Boulevard has been voted most popular by the old Zagat’s guide for years. The place was packed when we entered at 6pm. If you don’t have a reservation, you can get a seat at the bar or better yet, the kitchen counter, while they last. If you […]
