A charitable concern run by French people and promoting the advancement of the Andean people and Quinoa cookery. It offers a daily almuerzo (set lunch) for about $1.50. This is more than usual, but the food is good, although Quinoa soup, followed by Quinoa stew, and Quinoa cake takes some getting used to. Hey, it's a staple grain dontcha know. Plus you might get to hear someone practising their panpipes, or read about a cultural event (usually a bit worthy looking).
