The world’s best hidden gem restaurant for 2022 is Green Point in Cusco, Peru. The vegan-friendly restaurant beat out restaurants in Valladolid, Mexico; Madrid, Spain; and Naples, Italy for the top spot, per Tripadvisor.
One of the most amazing things about Green Point is that it has retained a 5.0 rating average on Tripadvisor, despite receiving nearly 4,000 reviews. Recent visitors have commented on the restaurant’s delicious food, impeccable service, and congenial atmosphere. One diner noted on the review page: “I came alone so I was sad I couldn’t order more things to try because everything I had was insanely good.” Another commented: “Green Point is situated in the ‘bohemian’ quarter of Cusco. The restaurant is like a little oasis set back from the street. The food was superb.”
Green Point is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the restaurant’s online menu helpfully points out which dishes may contain soy, gluten, or nuts for those with food allergies. In addition to its “Peruvian, international, and contemporary” fare, per Tripadvisor, Green Point also showcases dedicated menus for cocktails, spirits, and coffee. The good news, per Travel and Leisure, is that Cusco is less than four hours away from Macchu Picchu, which happens to be one of Tripadvisor’s best places to visit in 2022.
