Bolivian cuisine is very rich...

by witou

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...

Be sure to munch on some llama...

by warlord

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!

by kucha

Restaurant Utama on the roof of the Hotel Plaza in La Paz is excellent, 'higer' priced food. Great for sampling a variety of Bolivian dishes, with a superb view of the city. 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.

by ikohavi

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!

Dumbo's Restaurant!! (The picture is of downtown Cochabamba). I went to the ones in Cochabamba locations..there are others in Santa Cruz and La Paz. Any local can tell you where it is :) Great food and wonderful ice cream. Everyone raves about their tropical ice cream flavors. Fun place for kids too. Reasonable prices.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. Chirimoya Iced Drink

Lots and lots of restaurants...

by millward

Lots and lots of restaurants in all price ranges, some with evening entertainment (mainly Andean dancers and Pan pipe bands)..however try to stay away from uncooked food (salads etc).and make sure you DO NOT brush you teeth with tap water afterwards!! Local dishes , some with lots of spice, mainly chicken, but did try Llama steak. mmmmm.Local beer is pretty good..but don't have too much, alcahol and altitude don't mix !!

'La Casa del Paceño'Es un lugar muy especial donde encontraran comida Boliviana como especialidad.Les recomiendo probar las carnes aderezadas al estilo Boliviano, son muy buenas.Bolivia es un país donde se come muy buena carne aunque la altura muchas veces hace que nuestra digestión sea algo lenta.

Don Oscar: Don Oscar

by Nozav

It is a traditionnal restaurant which is really cheap, cheaper than the pizzerias or other places in the center Uyuni. You will enjoy Almuerzos or cenas for 10Bs, and very good breakfast. Try the 'Americano completo' for 15Bs ! The 'americano completo' breakfast.

The Churrasco in Bolivia is...

by lenoreva

The Churrasco in Bolivia is really excellent! My favorite restaurant is called 'Brasargent'.The waiters walk around with skewers full of meat. Each skewer features a different type of meat including different cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, etc. The adventurous can even try cow udders or chicken hearts. Meat, meat, and more meat! (Even though I am nearly a vegetarian)

My favorite will always be...

by SusanitaL

My favorite will always be Brasargent. Its a meat buffet. They serve you all types of meat and you can eat until you are full! They have a salad bar and dessert bar as well.For tipical food, go to the rio Pirai. These are cabins near the Pirai River, where you can get all the tipical food sold by the local people.Brasargent-Its an elegant place with delicious food, for all the meat lovers. The name comes from Brazil and Argentina put together, why indicates that the style of the barbecue, is the Argentinian style, as the rest is Brazilian, as you get some frejoada (sp?) The meat is from Santa Cruz!For a very local meal, go to the rio Pirai, you can get to dance a bit, see the local crowd on the weekends, ride a horse later in the afternoon. You can also ride motorcycles on the beach. I like desserts in Brassargent, but normally by the time dessert time comes, you are too full to eat...
