Typical food and folcloric show. Cover charge US$12.
Reviewed By mbrof
If you are in the city of La Paz, this is a must go place! The music was awesome, the folkloric dances amazing! and you can participate if you want! The food is typical Bolivian food with a salad buffet that has a beautiful selection of cheese. They also have a special Bolivian drink (Singani) with a snake! It was delicious! Highly recommend it.Do note that they charge for entry (about 20 USD)

After 2 months travel we wanted a steak! And wow did we find the right place. We shared a tender loin steak of 1.2 kg (190 bolivianos) including fries (surprisingly decent nothing special though) and a generous sallad bar. We chose to have the steak rare and it was perfect. Delicious! So much food though. You can easily share 3 or even 4 people. The guacamole was good and the service fast and efficient. We were the only two people at the restaurant when we arrived. The setting could be made more cosy. It's like a cafeteria at the moment. But the tasty steak and the fantastic value for money gives it a 5 star review.

Old restaured colonial building with new age and local food.
Reviewed By viaggeremo
We have just had dinner in that restaurant. The service was really terrible. The waiter didnât know which wines where available and then only three or four where available in a list of about twenty wines. When we finished our main course the waiter was in a great hurry and didnât come to our table for a long while. When we called him to order our dessert he told us that the kitchen was closed. It was 21.30 and in the website resulted opened till 22.00. The bill was quite expensive.

GUSTU works exclusively with Bolivian native products, transforming them in a trip through Bolivian richness and diversity.
Reviewed By charlottekh88
Gustu is about an hour away by cable car from Central La Paz but definitely worth a special trip, as a three-star Michelin guide rating would say. The space is beautiful, the service attentive and the food unique and spectacular both in terms of taste, creativity and presentation. The best part is the price, which is a mere fraction of what one might pay at a fine dining restaurant in any first world country.

Magick is undoubtly one of the best and nicest places to eat, drink, dance etc. in Lapaz :) The staff is super friendly and helpfull. Each friday magick serves the best pizzas in South America! Besides the food and beverages Magick arranges nice activities. Would definitely recommend paying Magick a visit if you happen to be in the Sopocachi area of Lapaz. Five out of five!

In the heart of the city of La Paz - Bolivia, is the Restaurant 1700, a single proposal and somewhat eccentric for domestic and foreign. We offer a varied food menu that fuses Bolivian and international flavors, such as fillet of smoked flame with passion

This is a lovely Resteraunt. We had a 40 dollar meal that would have cost 100 in the US. I had the llama kabobs. They were fantastic. This is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of la paz. We bought a bottle of gin from them.

The heaping plate of pesto pasta was over-cooked (as opposed to al-dente), needed a lot of salt (felt like the pasta was not cooked in salted water and lacked flavor) and very oily. But the veggies and chicken in it tasted great. On the plus side, the servers are great and the space cozy and inviting. So overall it was a very average dining experience. Tips: 1) Go hungry as the portions are huge 2) Go to the top floor (not the second floor) for better views of the city.
