The Best Restaurant in Santa Cruz, Central Bolivia

Background Illustration for Restaurants

There is a smaller range of hotels in Santa Cruz than in La Paz, but a wider range of restaurants. Both are generally more expensive, reflecting the fact that this is the most business-oriented region of the country.

La Casona

$$$

Set in a centenarian, colonial-style building with a lovely interior patio, this German-style restaurant with local touches offers delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is wide ranging, and besides the well-done German offerings, the fish is good (try the surubí) and the daily lunch specials are tasty, mostly international-style home cooking. For a treat, try the nudo de cerdo al horno (roasted pork knuckle, from the German dish Schweinshaxe).
