Fodor's Expert Review El Cafetal

Just a few minutes' stroll out of town (on the road to Carmen Pampa), El Cafetal is tacked onto the hillside and adds great views to arguably the best menu in town. Service is lackluster, and the rather worn-out French owner can be off-putting, but if you can take it in your stride, it's worth it. The food is a French/Bolivian mix; try the trout-and-Roquefort lasagna and the quinoa with curry, or the classic crepes.
