Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Taberna Gattopardo $$
(Plaza Luis de Fuentes y Vargas; mains B$22-50)
This welcoming European-run tavern is
one of Tarija's most popular hangouts. There are good espressos and cappuccinos in the
morning, well-prepared salads, burgers, pizzas and
ceviche
(Peruvian dish of raw seafood
marinated in lime juice) at midday, and chicken fillets and fondue bourguignonne in the
evening.
INTERNATIONAL
La Floresta $$
(Carretera a San Jacinto, Barrio Germán Busch; buffet B$45-60; Fri-Sun)
A great
place for pitchers of fresh lemonade and all-you-can-eat buffets of pork, chicken and
salads served in a lovely, leafy garden with a large swimming pool. It's a bit out of town,
so you should get a taxi here - the staff will call you one for the return journey.
BUFFET
Churrasquería El Rodeo $$$
(Oruro E-749; mains B$40-70)
With Argentina so close, it's not surprising that big slabs
of red meat are popular in Tarija, and that forms the basis of what you get here. This
sparkling and classy choice also has a salad bar, but really it is a place for those who like
their steak.
BARBECUE
Club Social Tarija $$
(Calle 15 de Abril E-271; almuerzo B$25-40, mains B$40-70)
The Club Social has gone
upmarket, but its lunch menu is still good value. At night it metamorphoses into a stylish
grill restaurant, with prices to boot.
BARBECUE
Café Mokka $$
(Plaza Sucre; mains B$16-42, cocktails B$18-22;
) A stylish place with a pavement
terrace and wi-fi access, overlooking the square. It serves average coffee, but decent cock-
tails and good, light grub. Tables are decorated with weird arrangements of peanuts and
coffee beans.
