Best of the Best Restaurants
Casual Dining - World
These restaurants might be casual, but there’s nothing casual about how much travellers love them. Because really good food and really good vibes are a winning combo.
The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.
As its name suggests, this restaurant uses fresh and organic ingredients from their farm in Peru's Sacred Valley. Organika's must-try dish is the beetroot carpaccio, which goes perfectly with a house-made lemonade. They also offer a complimentary dessert—a sweet ending to your lovely meal.
