In-Depth Information
(Pinilla 2257, Prado; meals B$45-90; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat)
This Japanese joint,
hidden up a quiet lane, has a classy atmosphere and impeccably presented food. Treat
yourself to a
teishoku
(a feast featuring 'everything'; B$80).
El Arriero $$$
(6 de Agosto 2535, Prado; mains B$65-95, almuerzo $50; lunch & dinner)
This Ar-
gentine grill restaurant has good steak but inattentive service. The chunky imported beef
is kept warm on a tableside grill, while a series of even larger cuts feed three or four.
There's a decent salad bar, but it's no vegetarian hangout! The fixed lunch is good value.
ARGENTINIAN
Confitería Club de La Paz $
(cnr Camacho & Mariscal Santa Cruz, Prado; mains B$10-30)
For a quick coffee or em-
panada, join the well-dressed elderly patrons in their daily rituals. The cafe was formerly
renowned as a literary cafe and haunt of politicians (and, formerly, of Nazi war criminals);
today, it's better known for its strong espresso and cakes.
CAFE
Confitería Manantial $
(Potosí 909, Hotel Gloria, Casco Viejo; buffet B$25; lunch Mon-Sat;
) This place
has a good-value and popular veggie buffet. Arrive before 12:30pm or you risk missing
the best dishes.
VEGETARIAN
EASY EATS
Popular with La Paz' yuppie set, these chain cafes serve java drinks, good fruit juices and tasty snacks, sand-
wiches and international favorites like quesadillas. While they are a bit saccharine, they're good spots if your
stomach is easily upset.
