Qusqo

Peruvian Bistro & Art Gallery

MENUS

In Quechua, the native language of the Inca Indians of Peru, “Qusqo” literally means: “the navel of the world, the center of nourishment.” The Inca Indians’ gods were the sun, moon, and mother earth. Because the Incas did not care for gold or the concept of wealth, they celebrated their gods by valuing food, art, and chicha (an Andean drink). As the most advanced pre-Hispanic civilization in Peru, the Incas were able to control most of the region by incorporating the best traditions of each civilization they conquered with their own; leadership was maintained by keeping their people satisfied in knowing that such traditions were received and honored. The Peruvian people continued this custom by integrating the cuisine of all the cultures that inhabited Peru, with their own. Spanish, African, Chinese, and Japanese ingredients have been infused with Peruvian dishes to be the ‘Comida Criolla’ of Peru.

Here the staff of Qusqo, hopes you will enjoy your dining experience. We try to use the freshest, finest, and most nutritious products possible. Our kitchen selects Fish from a list of nonendangered species, and only uses FREE RANGE CHICKEN and USDA CHOICE BEEF. There is NO USE OF MSG,, LARD, or BUTTER when cooking.
