Breakfast plates under S/30 and patio seating near CUZ departures
La Bonbonniere sits landside at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, just off the main departures hall before security, so you can eat here even if you’re waiting on an arrival. It runs from early morning through late evening, covering the first Lima hop around 6:00 and most of the late-day Cusco departures. Expect sit-down café service, not grab-and-go.
Menu reads like a Peruvian-European café: eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, and pastries alongside espresso drinks and juices. Most breakfast sets land in the S/20–S/30 range, with coffee around S/8–S/12 depending on size and style. Portions lean on the moderate side, which works fine at 3,300 meters when you might not want a huge meal before a short flight.
The safer plays: simple scrambled eggs, the club-style sandwich, and any pastry that looks fresh from the case that day. If you want something sweet, the crepes and waffles usually sit under S/25 and pair well with a cappuccino. This is not the spot to gamble on more elaborate mains; there are better options in Cusco city for that level of spend.
Service pace matches a sit-down restaurant, so build in at least 45 minutes before your boarding time if you need a full meal. Staff handle both Spanish and basic English, and they can split bills if you’re in a group of three or four. Card payments are standard here, and contactless usually works; keep a S/10–S/20 note handy in case the terminal goes down.
Practical tip: eat at La Bonbonniere before security, then clear to your gate about 60 minutes before departure; once you pass the checkpoint at CUZ, food choices shrink fast and prices drift higher than the S/25–S/30 you’ll pay here for a sit-down plate.
