Sacred lake with floating Uros islands.

Co-founded by Noma's Claus Meyer in La Paz, Gustu celebrates Bolivian biodiversity with tasting menus featuring quinoa, llama, and Amazonian fruits in a sleek, social-enterprise setting. The restaurant trains disadvantaged youth and sources exclusively from local producers. Widely credited with putting Bolivian gastronomy on the global map.

La Paz's pioneering plant-based restaurant transforms Andean ingredients—oca, cañahua, and native tubers—into stunning vegan tasting menus that challenge preconceptions about Bolivian cuisine. Intimate counter seating puts diners close to the creative kitchen. A must-visit for food travelers exploring South America's altiplano.

A Cochabamba institution since 1975, La Taverne serves hearty camba cuisine—silpancho, chicharron, and sopa de maní—in a lively colonial courtyard with live folk music. Generous platters and cold Paceña beer define the convivial atmosphere. Cochabamba's most beloved address for authentic valley cooking.
