structured and delicately balanced antipasti, pasta and mains. The antipasta della casa is a
remarkable mix of stewed tomatoes, walnuts and other wonderful treats. The alchemy of
many of these dishes would leave many a 'developed world' chef red-cheeked and jeal-
ous. Call ahead for reservations on the weekends.
La Casona Restaurant $$
(Mariscal Santa Cruz 938, Prado; mains B$20-50, almuerzo B$45; 9am-9pm;
) The
upscale executive set lunch here comes with an extensive salad bar, soup and your choice
of mains like chicken in wine sauce or delicately crafted milanesas. The colonial atmo-
sphere is quite comfortable, making this one of the best lunch spots in town. It goes à la
carte at night.
BOLIVIAN
Ángelo Colonial $$
(
236-0199; Linares 922, Rosario; mains B$20-50)
This quirky, darkened colonial-
style restaurant features a ramshackle collection of antiquities - pistols, swords and an-
tique portraits - plus excellent soups, salads and luscious vegetable lasagna. You don't
want to be in a hurry - service is slow.
INTERNATIONAL
Star of India $$
(Cochabamba 170, Rosario; mains B$32-45;
) Worthy of a London curry house (the
owner is British), this place is hot. It receives rave reviews by foreign residents and travel-
ers for its broad menu of tasty Indian foods. It also serves lassi breakfasts and snacks.
INDIAN
La Guinguette $$
(Fernando Guachalla 399, Sopocachi; mains B$45-70; 9am-11pm Mon-Sat)
Hang out
with the Sopocachi cool cats at this chic spot below the Alianza Francesa cultural center.
The cozy bistro serves an excellent soup, sandwich and desert combo at lunch for B$45.
There are steaks, fish and rather doughy pasta on the menu, too.
