The story
Green Point in Cusco builds its vegan Andean menus around open flames and careful fermentation. Chefs roast whole squash over living coals and cure oyster mushrooms in citrus brines before slicing them thin. Kombucha replaces dairy in their traditional tiger milk, while cashew cream and almond bechamel provide richness without animal products. Every dish follows a strict five-fire system that transforms seasonal roots, corn, and native potatoes into deeply savory plates.
The raw ceviche arrives chilled on black stone, featuring marinated mushroom cubes tossed with toasted chulpe corn and fresh culantro. Grilled leeks rest atop a roasted garlic bechamel, topped with toasted pistachios and golden mashed potatoes. Guests frequently order the grilled burrito, where sourdough naan meets charred shiitake mushrooms and house-made spiced hummus. Even familiar formats like pad thai and lasagna receive thorough plant-based Peruvian adaptations using slow-simmered tomato sauces and hand-pulled pasta sheets.
The dining room encourages quiet conversation while staff pour hot coffee and serve house ferments alongside main courses. Desserts operate as deliberate ceremonies rather than simple endings. A glass dome releases aromatic smoke when serving the Turkish coffee tiramisu, and caramelized pineapple slices arrive alongside chilled Andean rice pudding. This commitment to sustainable operations earned three radishes from the We’re Smart Green Guide, reflecting a kitchen that sources locally and minimizes waste across every service.
