La Paz restaurants are becoming increasingly cosmopolitan, and more sophisticated dining is on the rise. Alongside a vast array of establishments serving traditional Bolivian fare, there are well-established sushi restaurants, Argentine grill houses, upmarket Swiss/Bolivian restaurants, and a few excellent enclaves of flavor from Spain, Italy, and Germany. French cuisine is still seen as the height of sophistication, but the better offerings along that line have shrugged off the overly formal side of the experience and focus on simply serving superb food. Young and well-traveled Bolivians are breathing new life into the food scene—you can now find Vietnamese food, a classy and fun wine bar, a café with internationally qualified baristas brewing up the best of Bolivian coffee, and even a world-class vegan restaurant serving food mostly grown in its own small urban garden. The area around Plaza del Estudiante and the residential neighborhood of Sopocachi have a good selection of cheap eating. For a more international and expensive experience, head down to the southern area of the city, where much of the most interesting and modern dining options are to be found catering to the city’s wealthier crowd. Wherever you go, look out for the almuerzo if you’re after a good-value set lunch.
Go for the pho, stay for the whole range of authentic Vietnamese dishes that offer a nice break from the meat and starch offerings in the daily paceña diet. The decor is simple and the food, though not yet well known around the city, is tasty and light, perfect for those still getting used to the slow digestion of high-altitude dining. The soups are based on a beast of a broth, cooked for more than 15 hours with all the spices and flavors you expect from Vietnamese cuisine. Especially worthwhile is the lunch special, which gives you a little taste of everything. Don't hesitate to give the garlic and chili sauces a go. They’re superb, and the fried spring rolls are dangerously addictive—you've been warned!
