Bolivian cuisine is very rich and diverse: In Santa Cruz (and everywhere else in the east and southeast) you got to try the great “Churrasco” (local bar-be-q) accompanied by “Arroz con Queso”,“Yuca Frita” or “Pacumutos” (local beef kebabs), you can eat these at any “Churrasqueria” there are tons of them on the “Avenida Cristobal de Mendoza” or “Primer Anillo” or ask in your hotel for the closest one. In the Andes and the high plateau the typical plates are usually hot and spicy and are accompanied by potatoes (potatoes are original from Bolivia) ask for “Chairo” or “Plato Paceño” which go perfectly with the cold weather of this beautiful region, you can eat these plates in any touristic restaurant in downtown La Paz. Do not leave Bolivia without trying “Salteñas” (Bolivian empanadas), the are delicious! If you go to Santa Cruz you have to take advantage of the wide selection of restaurants that this multicultural city can offer to you. Check some of my suggestions in my Santa Cruz page!!!
Santa Cruz is the capital of Churrasco (Bolivian Bar-b-q). Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Be sure to munch on some llama and guinea pig while you are in Bolivia. I found the guinea pig quite horrifying, but the llama was excellent. As in many other exotic animals 'it tasted just like chicken.' There are many small restaurants in Potosi and La Paz where llama can be had for a reasonable price. On the other hand, I have to say that Bolivian food in general is not so great. It is bland and there is no telling where the meat really comes from. Your best bet is to stick with chicken and fish. I shun commercialism and the big chains, but when I finally made it to La Paz, the first place I went was to Mc Donald's. A Big Mac never tasted so good! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You can eat anywhere in La Paz, Bolivia for cheap, cheap, Cheap! Bolivia is basically a very very cheap country. Do not be afraid to splurge a little.

 Copacabana by tini58de
Api (a thick purple or yellow hot drink made from local maize) served with empenadas. This can be found in little stalls in the market in the morning.
Saltenas, like a sweeter cornish pasty, in chicken or beef varieties. Often served with bicervezina, a local sweet beer. Saltenas are not served after midday.
Mate de coca (coca leaf tea), the local remedy for soroche (altitude sickness). Tastes ‘a bit like grass clippings, but very nice grass clippings.
Chuno (little black potato bits) and tunta (white potato bits) often found lurking in soup. Wilma told me in her letters how to make them.
Llajua - this is the hot sauce always put out with a meal. Try just a little bit.
Local bread (called marraquetas, not for those with dentures) and cheese (queso minero).
Fresh fruit - mangoes should be in season, but try anything that looks different like pacay which is a type of cotton-woolly bean pod.
Bolivians eat the big meal at midday, as they say if you eat at night then you don’t digest it properly due to the altitude.
Unlike other countries in South America, there are local vegetarian dishes available, including plato paceno (broad beans, spuds and cheese) and papas a la Guancayina (or something) which is spuds, egg and spicy peanut sauce.
La Paz is very proud of its local beer (Pacena). It has a snappy advertising slogan - ‘Es cerveza’ (‘It is beer’). It’s not bad. Chicha is the indigenous beer made of fermented maize, and tastes like curdled yoghurt without being as nutritious. Singani, the local firewater, is a distillate from the wine-making process and is very reasonable. Leave a Comment Theme: Local

The pumpkin soupwas amazing. It was a rich, creamy soup filled with corn, cheese, beans and spices. We also loved the other Bolivian soup made of peanuts, chickpeas and cabbage. Grilled Bolivian lake trout was fantastic. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Central La Paz.

In La Paz there is a place called 'Lobo'. It's quite modern with (hopefully) clean food. Many Israelis actually, like this place. If you miss some well-known food for a change - go there, you won't be sorry.
The restaurant has many pictures from travelers so you can get ideas on where you want to go next. This is how Igot the idea of climbing a mountain, which I didn't hear of before...
I love the 'shnitzel' there and mostly the 'mussli'. They give a nice amount of fruit and granolla all mixed with yogurt and honey and it's delicious! In my trip I barely had the chance to eat fruit and this was a great oppurtunity! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Los Castores is another restaurant in El Prado that serves the best Saltenas(Bolivian meat patties). Its a very modern restaurant with ultra clean bathrooms and polite servers.
