My friends and I planned to have lunch after viewing Machu Picchu. However we were greatly disappointed to view meal choices that were predominantly meat dishes, including deep fried butter chicken - disgusting! The other chooses were unhealthy and expensive. I was deeply embarrassed as it was my idea to lunch at Bistro Gadi. When I asked my friends if they would like to go elsewhere, they quickly agreed. We lunched at the Art Gallery instead. I shall never go to Bistro Gadi again.

Excellent food, service, ambience. Oh if only the old guy at the next table hadn’t had such a loud voice! I heard him say to his two very quiet female companions that he had been in the army……!

We had the set menu for 12 of us. There were four in our group who had dietary restrictions I have never experienced such seamless and flexible responsiveness with these issues previously. I make that statement even in comparison to some very expensive restaurants. The food was plentiful and delicious

This isn't a traditional order-off-the-menu restaurant - its more like a buffet, with limited main and side dish options that are sitting on a buffet style table. The mains were cold as they were sitting there for a while. Options are limited. This is not the high end experience you would expect, especially for the price and venue.
