Las Flores Restaurant
Restaurante Las Flores
A longtime Ayacucho institution, open for more than thirty years and famous for wood-fired guinea pig from its own farm.
A large, long-established restaurant in the Conchopata food district, personally run by founder Gloria María Zaga, with seating for about 200. Its signature cuy a la leña (wood-fired guinea pig) uses guinea pigs from its own farm and partner community farms, and the recipe is a secret. The guinea pig is served with a fried pork platter, potatoes, qapchi and corn. The restaurant also makes puca picante stew, fried trout and adobo. It's about a five-minute taxi ride from the city center. It mainly serves lunch, and local families crowd in on weekends. Cards are accepted.
