Machu Picchu

If the question is “do French fries belong in a stir-fry?” then the answer is Machu Picchu. While the game of musical chairs continues apace with restaurateurs at the intersection of Lyndale and Lake, the Saltados at this Peruvian-style joint have made us glad they’ve stuck it out. Their new expansion features a nifty little bar in a nicely lit room facing Lyndale. Gastronomic temptations include Papa a la Huancaina, about which you only need to know the phrase “feta cheese cream sauce.” If Paddington Bear ate this well, he never would have left darkest Peru.
