MARE restaurant entrance and dining room in Cusco

01 — Direct answer

MARE at a glance

MARE is on Calle Heladeros 167 in Cusco’s historic centre, close to the Plaza de Armas. It serves contemporary Peruvian cuisine, opens until 10:00 p.m. and offers both à la carte dining and a reservation-only tasting menu.

02

Choose between à la carte and tasting

The à la carte format works well when your group wants to choose its own starters, main courses, desserts or drinks. Current dishes range from Trout Ceviche and Vegan Ceviche to Alpaca Tenderloin, Pomata Trout, Lomo Saltado with Pasta and Lamb Shank.

The tasting menu is offered only at 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. It costs US$75 per guest, requires at least two guests and is served to the entire table. The reservation is confirmed when the 25% deposit is approved.

03

Leave room for confirmation

For à la carte bookings, the official system shows live capacity and confirms the table immediately after the booking is completed. The tasting menu remains pending only until the required deposit is approved.

Tables are held for 15 minutes after the confirmed time. If your plans change, use the private management link or contact the team as early as possible.

  • Check live times on the official reservation form.
  • For the tasting menu, select 6:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. and a deposit method.
  • For more than 6 guests, private events or a picnic, request prior coordination.
04

Use the official address and menu

The official address is Calle Heladeros 167, Cusco. Because third-party listings can retain old information, use the directions link on ccoriperu.com and check the current menu before your visit.

MARE publishes prices in Peruvian soles with applicable taxes included. The tasting menu is priced in US dollars. Ask the team directly about allergies, dietary needs or changes to seasonal dishes.
