( 442-2005; Av JD Perón 1290; s/d AR$300/500; ) A conversion from what
was formerly a government hotel, this rather oversized, lugubrious building has rooms
that are good at this price (especially the singles), and have decent bathrooms, safes and
noisy balconies.

( 447-0700; www.naindoparkhotel.com ; Av San Nicolás de Bari 475; s/d AR$884/1017;
) Just off the plaza, and dominating it assertively, La Rioja's finest hotel has an excel-
lent level of service, a fistful of facilities and prices to match. The rooms are commodi-
ous and good-sized, if in need of a dash of vim. Still, they have original art on the walls
and decent views.
Eating
Regional dishes to look for include locro, juicy empanadas, chivito asado (barbecued
goat), humitas, quesillo (a cheese specialty) and olives. Cheap local wines are a good
bargain in restaurants.

(Av San Nicolás de Bari 484; meals AR$30-55; 8am-1am) This simple but effective local eat-
ery just off the plaza puts many pricier restaurants to shame. Sandwiches, traditional loc-
al dishes, pasta, pizza, omelets and grilled meats are well prepared and fairly priced. It's
something of a bargain and the fruit licuados are delicious, too.
Café del Paseo CAFE $

(cnr Pelagio Luna & 25 de Mayo; light meals AR$30-60; 7:30am-3pm & 5:30pm-1am; ) This
is your spot on the corner of the plaza to observe La Rioja life. Executives with I-gadgets
mingle with families and tables of older men chewing the fat over another slow-paced La
Rioja day.
