October 20, 2017 Kelli Reichel

Luque (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlu.ke]) is a city in Central Department of Paraguay, part of the Gran Asunción metropolitan area. Both 1635 and 1750 have been recorded as dates of its founding. It was temporarily the capital of Paraguay in 1868 during the Paraguayan War before relocation to San Estanislao. It is located at around 25°16′12″S 57°29′14″W / 25.27000°S 57.48722°W / -25.27000; -57.48722. Luque is one of the most important cities in the country. The city counts as home of Paraguay's main international airport, Silvio Pettirossi International Airport and the Ñu Guasú Park, which is where the Paraguayan Olympic Committee is also located. The continental governing body of association football in South America, CONMEBOL, has its headquarters approximately 3 minutes from the Airport, consisting of the South American Football Museum and walking distance from the Bourbon CONMEBOL Asunción Convention Hotel. When it existed, ARPA – Aerolíneas Paraguayas had its headquarters in the ARPA Terminal on the grounds of the airport. It is a center of production of Guitars and Paraguayan harps as well as Filigranas, gold and silver filigree jewelry including the seven-band ring Carretón de Siete Ramales. On 27 January 2016, Paraguayan Newspaper La Nación had reported that Carlos Echeverría Estigarribia, the elected intendent of the city of Luque, states his intention of wanting Luque to be one of the most important cities.

Paulista Grill

Reviewed By Matheus007 - Longwood, Florida

Great rodízio in the heart of Paraguay. In addition to the delicious selection of meats, there is an extensive salad and dessert bar. If you're hungry or just interested in an extended lunch with lots of people watching, Paulista is the place to be in Asunción!

Shangri-la

Reviewed By ChicaGuarani - Belfast, United Kingdom

I look forward to coming here every time I visit Asuncion, as it is a wonderful chinese. The staff are attentive and the food is very good quality, with a lot to choose from. Vegetarians even have a good choice! This was my fourth visit, and my only complaint is they don't give fortune cookies anymore! I recommend the agriculce (sweet and sour), it's better than any I've ever tasted! It is very expensive for Asuncion, but if you are a foreigner you will still find it cheap compared to Western prices.

Carmelitas Center

Reviewed By JCW703 - Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo

Attended an event at Carmelitas Center this past weekend. The space is interesting and well laid out- three separate room culminating in a large ballroom. All have hardwood flooring for dancing, etc. Parking is problematic as there isn't any and the restroom could certainly use an update. The food was mediocre, but that may depend on the choices of the host. The audiovisual system was good, but, again, the music left much to be desired.

It was an amazingly beautiful restaurant with really good service, but the most important: the food. Complex technic mixed with really good local ingredients. Presentation of the plates was beautiful and to be honest the plate was big. I can come back a lot of times

It took a really long time to get the Sandwich I ordered. When it finally arrived, after asking about it many times, it was really good, though. Great atmosphere and kind service.

La Cabrera

Reviewed By Jocaloda - Geneva, Switzerland

Unfortunately we never knew about this restaurant until yesterday. We lodge often in this vicinity and only now discovered this wonderful restaurant .
While the beef cuts are numerous, not much else is offered except for 2 fish dishes.
BUT, the beef is served in such a unique way. There are several little dishes with all kinds of different vegetable preparations, all unique to accompany the beef. At least a good 20 of them!
As a starter we had the chipa guazu, too much for 2 but the doggy bag came in handy( for meat as well)
Believe them when THEY even mention on the menu to share!! 400 gms is even too much normally for one.
Reservations are a must, the decor is cozy and enchanting.
So glad we found this place.

Tiene buena ubicacion, el sabor de las comidas tiene un toque parecido al la comida casera, como no se preparan en cantidades muy grandes. El precio es muy bueno, no es cara y para mi gusto mucho mejor que los patio de comida de los supermercados.
Muy buen lugar, limpio y agradable, buenos tragos, buenos precios.

Decent pizza, store is a bit dirty and lacks amenities. Pizza tastes good, specialty catupiry cheese and vegetables. Add extra cheese and toppings
