100% gluten free restaurant in Cusco!
It’s a cute little restaurant where you don’t have to worry about ordering because everything is gluten free. If you‘re in Cusco go there.
The owner has celiac disease so he knows what he’s doing.
I stayed at La B'om Hostel in a private room between September 16-24, 2024 and then again from September 28-October 3, 2024 after I had completed the Inca Trail.
I stayed in two different private rooms (Moche on the first floor and Inca on the second floor) during my stay and they were both great. The rooms had a private bathroom with shower, comfortable double bed with warm blankets for the chilly nights, shelving/hooks/hangers to organize clothes and belongings and a window overlooking the inner courtyard. The water pressure in the showers was decent and there was always hot water (though sometimes you had to let the water run a bit before it would come). I really liked having a private room as a lot of the hiking/cultural tours that I had booked left quite early in the morning and it was important for me that I had a solid sleep with no interruptions.
This was a very quiet and small hostel with no loud people at night or parties, which is exactly what I was looking for. The breakfast is included and you are provided with three large crepes with various fillings depending on the day and fresh juice. I had asked whether they offered gluten-free crepes for breakfast and was advised that they did, however, they never seemed to have any available during my stay which was unfortunate. The regular crepes were amazing though and they did have gluten-free crepes at the restaurant upstairs. There was always coca and other teas available throughout the day, as well as, purified water in the lobby. The hostel had a small lounge area next to the reception area with tables and couches and a heater. There was also the inner courtyard with a hammock and chairs/tables for relaxing in the sun during the day. The staff were always helpful and friendly. I appreciated that they booked me a taxi for only 20 soles from the Cusco airport to the hostel (prior to my arrival) and back.
The hostel offered fast and reliable Wi-Fi on the property. They were also able to store my luggage in their secure room while I hiked the Inca Trail for 5 days.
The location of the hostel in the San Blas area of Cusco was lovely. It is a quiet and charming neighbourhood that felt very safe at all times of the day and night. There are lots of shops nearby, ATMs, laundry facilities, and restaurants and it's a short 7 minute walk to the Plaza de Armas.
There is also a creperia restaurant on the second floor of the hostel which is open from 11 am until 10 pm. It was very convenient to eat there when I had returned from a long day tour and didn't feel like walking to a restaurant. They had an extensive menu including gluten free and vegan options.
