Fitzcarraldo Restaurant
Restaurante Fitzcarraldo
A historic riverside restaurant on the malecón, named after the Werner Herzog film, serving Loreto regional dishes such as tacacho con cecina.
Located at the junction of the Maldonado riverside walkway and Napo Street, one block from Plaza de Armas. The historic building pays tribute to Werner Herzog's 1982 film Fitzcarraldo, which was shot in Iquitos. It specializes in traditional Loreto dishes: smoked pork with grilled green banana cakes, Loreto-style fish fillets, arapaima fillets and more, as well as pasta and pizza. It has air-conditioned rooms, a fan-cooled front area and terrace seating on the walkway, ideal for enjoying the river view in the evening. Prices are mid-to-upper range, and reviews are mixed. Do not confuse it with La Casa Fitzcarraldo, a guesthouse on La Marina Avenue.
