tastic cafe, restaurant and bar has everything, from dawn espressos to midnight vodkas
and nightly movies to weekend table-dancing. It's spacious, friendly, well run and you'll
need an hour just to read through the menu.
La Taverne $$
(Arce 35; mains B$20-48)
With a quiet sophisticated atmosphere, the restaurant of the Al-
liance Française is a delight to visit. The short, select menu has a French touch and there
are excellent daily specials. There's live music every Friday night and film screenings
several times a week.

Locot's $$
(Bolívar 465; mains B$20-42; 8am-late)
Relaxed and attractive, this bar-restaurant is
in an interesting old building, with original art on the walls. It offers a wide choice of
Bolivian, Mexican and international food, including vegetarian, and a gringo-friendly
vibe.
INTERNATIONAL
Amsterdam $
(Bolívar 426; sandwiches B$15-25)
Founded with the intention of supporting the Centro
Educativo Ñanta (a charity for street children), having a snack or two in Amsterdam gives
something back to the community. Dutch owned, but you guessed that already didn't you?
INTERNATIONAL
Chifa New Hong Kong $$
(San Alberto 242; mains B$30-50)
Good-value Chinese food with huge portions. Watch
your head on the ceiling upstairs though!
CHINESE
LATIN AMERICAN
Bibliocafé $$
(Ortiz 42 & 50; mains B$20-40; 11am-3am)
With two adjacent locations, this has
something for everyone; one side is dark and cozy, the other a little smarter. There's good
service, a menu of pasta and Mexican-Bolivian food and drinks until late in a cheerful and
unpretentious atmosphere, plus regular live music.
