In-Depth Information
(6 de Agosta, near 18 de Noviembre; almuerzo B$25, mains B$30-130)
Don't fall out of
your chair! They serve salads here! In fact this upmarket (by Trinidad standards) restaur-
ant serves a bit of everything from pizza and steak to chicken and fish. It's the restaurant
of the swish Hotel Campanario, but that doesn't stop them from offering a well-cooked
and excellent value
almuerzo
(set lunch) as well.
El Tabano $$
(Villavicencio, near Mamoré; mains B$20-55)
With cool beers and cocktails served in the
courtyard, this grass-roofed resto-pub is a popular place with Trinidad's young crowd on
account of its lively atmosphere and excellent food. The menu consists of a number of in-
ventive variations on fish and caiman dishes.
SEAFOOD
El Balcón $$$
(6 de Agosta, near Tarija; mains B$35-70; dinner only)
Named presumably for the
cramped wooden balconies outside, this is one of the more popular eating spots for
couples. It's hardly an experience in fine dining, but the meat and chicken dishes are well
prepared.
INTERNATIONAL
La Choza del Pescador $$
(Bolívar at Velasco; mains B$40-55)
There's not much on the menu here, just fish cooked
in about five different ways, but if you are feeling fishy then this is a good place to drop
anchor.
SEAFOOD
Club Social $$$
(Suárez; almuerzo B$20, mains B$25-60)
Right on the plaza, in a shady, breezy courtyard,
the lovely social club is a local family favorite. The generous two-course lunch menu in-
cludes soup, meat, rice and veg. The dinner menu isn't such good value.
