Huancayo

Huancayo is the capital city of the Junín region, in central Peru. It's linked to the Peruvian capital Lima via the trans-Andean Ferrocarril Central Andino, one of the world's highest train routes. Sculptures in the city's Parque de la Identidad Huanca pay homage to the region's pre-Inca culture. The neoclassical Catedral de Huancayo overlooks native plants in the central Plaza de la Constitución.

Restaurant
The restaurant Detrás de la Catedral offers delicious and flavorful food in generous portions at affordable prices. There is a wide variety of options to satisfy any palate, including appetizing dishes like the paws of nibbles, trout, and mushroom puree. The overall dining experience may not be considered exceptional, but the establishment has a pleasant ambiance. Although the service can be slow, the staff maintains professionalism despite their lack of friendliness.
You think at first the food is pricey BUT it's worth it! They give you soup and a drink included. The soup was very delicious and a great started. Their juice also tasted amazing and the food was pretty good too. If I ever visit again I am going to stop here for sure!

Good food, slow service. The staff is professional but not friendly, they haven't smiled once.

The restaurant is kind of over rated in my opinion. The dishes lacked the flavors!!! Don’t go here if you’re looking for good foods.

Wouldn't call it the best restaurant in town but the place is nice and the dishes are somewhat tasty.

It's more atmospheric than it is a place with a " great menu. ".....The pasta's ( eg. fettuccini ) and bistek's are all the same I almost every restaurant here ....not good and you pay 10 soles more at this restaurant.....The Trucha ( trout fish ) is always all boneless and specialties are better than others....I really like the Trucha con Ajo's ( Trout with garlic )......It's a nice place to eat but about half the food on the menu is overpriced for it's flavor

Excellent food, atmosphere and the prices are reasonable - highly recommended. We sat in the area near the bar since we had children and didn't want to disturb anyone in the other more formal, occupied areas. It worked perfectly.

Restaurante Olímpico is an outstanding establishment with a diverse menu and efficient, friendly service. The food offerings are both tasty and varied, spanning a wide range of options. The cleanliness of the entire restaurant, including the kitchen which can be observed from the dining area, is commendable. It is conveniently located in the city center, although it may get noisy at times. Despite this, the overall ambiance remains cozy.
I had my first ceviche de trucha there and it was delicious! They also let me try a special pisco based brandy they have! Super attentative service and overall a great restaurant - since 1941! muchas gracias!!!

Nice place for a lunch. The food is really good and they has a great variety of dishes. Although the place is a bit loud because it's in the centre of the city, the place is cozy. Most of dishes are in the range of 7 to 15 American dollars or 28 to 60 Peruvian Soles. Good restaurant.

I have lived in Peru for 13 years, but this is by far the worst food I had ever had in Peru. My Peruvian GF also says the food was awful. We both had different dishes, but after the first bite, we could not eat anymore. Look someplace else. Can't believe that this place has a 4.2 rating.

Grill
Chicken restaurant
La Leña is a highly recommended grill and barbecue restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience for families and friends. While the prices may be slightly higher compared to other establishments, they are not excessively expensive. Although some believe that the restaurant was better in the past, it is still regarded as a good place to visit. The food served at La Leña is delicious, although there are no facilities available for changing babies. Additionally, when crowded, the lack of air conditioning can make it uncomfortably hot.
Great place, a surprise as you drive down the road, great food great setting, will be back next time we are here

The food was delicious, but there are no changing facilities for babies. When crowded it gets really hot, and it doesn't seem to have an air conditioning system. Although, waiters are kind

A ver good chicken grill and barbecue restaurant. It is good for a special lunch or dinner with family and friends. Prices are a little expensive compared with other restaurants but never that much expensive. Personally, I consider it was a better place some years ago but still it is a good place.
