Mojsa Restaurant - Puno

Un local de lo más espacioso y bonito, muy recomendable, comí aquí un delicioso cuy. La trucha es una pasada si te va el pescado y no se quedan atrás esos fantásticos ceviches que aquí sirven. Muy recomendable por todo esto. Me atendió de maravilla una camarera llamada Lourdes. Hay bastante personal, es un local con buen ambiente y luz íntima que le da al Mojsa un halo de tranqulidad muy acogedor.

Una linda atención y una comida deliciosa! La anfitriona fue super amable, la comida buenísima. Lo pasamos excelente!

My wife and I stayed here for dinner at a stay in Puno. The location is on top of the city square with a few outdoor tables overlooking the square. The service is good and the food is excellent. The trout is especially good, fresh and well prepared. We enjoyed the food so much that we came back for a second meal when we went through Puno again two days later. You have good low-fat and vegetarian options. Service is friendly, even if you don't speak much Spanish.

Mojsa looks and feels like your favorite cozy bistro or neighborhood restaurant. It is unintentionally casual, served excellent food at reasonable prices and has extremely friendly and efficient staff. Our guide, who came from Cuzco but traveled throughout Peru, recommended it as a place in Puno with typical Peruvian farewell at a consistently high quality level. Puno seems to offer a tradition of pizzerias and restaurants way, much too many menu items, but Mojsa menu is limited, which makes it even more attractive. We arrived at 19:15 and arrived with minimal waiting time for our meal. I chose the grilled Alpaka Steak with pure Quinoa and Chimichurri sauce, and it was perfect. The five strips of this lean but juicy meat were slightly marinated and grilled medium rare, which made the fineness of the beef flavor shine. My wife had the trout with passion fruit sauce that came with parsley potatoes and grilled vegetables. It was also perfectly moist and tasteful. She noticed how Peruvian trout look and tastes like Alaskan salmon while I thought the alpaca tasted like a grass-fed calf. I wish American restaurants also made half with potatoes and Quinoa side dishes! Most food options here are variations in the preparation of meat, including alpaca, beef and guinea pigs, but there are grilled and baked ‘trout’, ceviche and shrimp dishes. It's simple, but delicious food. We shared a Coca creme brûlée – believe me to be ashamed of the Peruans when it comes to chocolate desserts – and with two beers for dinner our tab came to about $32 USD. We gave our server a great tip that she deserved. A really nice, relaxing meal for us.

This was a last minute recommendation and it was worth it. Great food, clean space and great service. The cocktails are delicious.
