About Sol y Luna
Sol y Luna is a restaurant in Urubamba serving Peruvian Andean cuisine under chef Tom Köffers. The details are direct: it has a smart casual dress code, a 2025 Relais Chateaux Award, posted hours that make timing important.
Use Sol y Luna when you want a Peruvian Andean meal in Urubamba and can fit the visit within its published schedule. It is open Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 8 AM to 2 PM, closed Sunday.
Go for Peruvian Andean cuisine, not a late-night plan

Where it fits in an Urubamba short list
For another named option to compare during planning, see Killa Wasi. For readers building a wider food day, the full Urubamba restaurants guide is the better planning tool than treating one meal as the whole itinerary.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Sol y Luna sits within the Sacred Valley rather than apart from it, and its design reflects that rootedness. Casitas cluster around an intentionally planted garden and the overall composition reads as quietly refined: rustic materials meet careful landscaping so interior and exterior feel seamlessly connected. The setting is framed by the Andean cordillera and terraced slopes, which lend a sense of history and calm to the property. Dining here feels intimate and gently paced, the sort of place where local light and landscape are as much a part of the table as the food.
Best For
Sol y Luna works well as a base for exploring the Sacred Valley’s highlights: its location in Urubamba is described as a practical anchor for trips to Cusco, Ollantaytambo, and Machu Picchu. That makes the restaurant a natural choice for travelers looking to combine sightseeing with relaxed, place-driven meals. Its intimate, scenic setting also suits romantic dinners and special occasions, while guests who plan short itineraries or weekend escapes will appreciate the convenience of being centrally located on the valley’s corridor.
Ordering Tips
The restaurant emphasizes Andean, highland Peruvian traditions, so prioritize dishes that showcase local ingredients and altitude-born flavors. Try the signature Peruvian ceviche for a regional take on the classic, and the pumpkin bisque to taste a seasonal, locally sourced preparation. The quinoa falafel points to the kitchen’s use of native grains in creative ways. These plates offer a concise introduction to the property’s interpretation of Sacred Valley cuisine and its agricultural context.

Restaurant context
How Sol y Luna compares in Urubamba
Sol y Luna is the stronger choice for a composed, occasion-leaning Peruvian Andean meal in Urubamba, especially when the group values calm ambiance and an easy booking path. Killa Wasi is the closest local comparison on cuisine; choose it when the goal is another Andean option in town rather than a more polished celebration setting.
Tampu Restaurant and Qunuq Restaurant make more sense as cross-shops if the itinerary already points toward their locations or hotel context. Sol y Luna is easier to justify when the evening plan needs to stay in Urubamba and feel settled rather than experimental.
Bistrot Bastille and As De Oro are less direct comparisons because they sit outside the metro context for this decision. Use them for a broader Peru dining short list, not as substitutes for a Sacred Valley dinner.
