1. Bufalo's Rodizio
$$$ | |At this Brazilian-style eatery, all the meat you can eat is carved at your table by waiters dressed as gauchos. The traditional Feijoada (bean stew with beef and pork) is considered the house specialty. There's also an excellent salad bar and a variety of pasta dishes. Reserve a table on Sunday; they are usually packed with diners enjoying great views of the city.
Av. Oquendo N-0654,, Cochabamba, Cochabamba, Bolivia04-425--1597 -
2. Casa de Campo
$$$ | |This informal and lively local favorite serves traditional Bolivian dishes—grilled meats and a fiery picante mixto (grilled chicken and beef tongue). Servings are large enough for two, so come with an appetite if you order local favorites like Pollo Borracho (chicken cooked in alcohol), pork in orange sauce, or grilled conejo (guinea pig). The pique lobo soup is extremely flavorful. Food is served outdoors on a shaded patio.

3. Chicharrones Doña Pola
$$$ | |Nothing says Cochabamba like a giant plate of fried chicharron (deep-fried chunks of pork), and nobody does it like Doña Pola. From the depths of her enormous copper pans, she has been serving up these super-crispy portions of pig on weekends for more than 50 years, and it's no secret that she is simply the best in town—come early. Athough it seems expensive (prices have risen with fame), it's still not bad, considering that each portion will easily feed two or three people. Open only for lunch on weekends.

4. Chifa Lai Lai
$$ | |This chifa, or Chinese restaurant, has the kind of service usually found only in more expensive places. The food is tasty and the wines are reasonably priced. Start with the crispy spring rolls followed by one of their Ecuadoran shrimp dishes. Most selections, like sweet and sour chicken or pork, come with a side of rice or noodles.

5. Cowork cafe
$$ | |Quiet and unassuming, this comfortable space is a very welcome addition to an otherwise uninspired coffee-shop scene in the city. Cowork cafe was created specifically with the out-of-office worker in mind, so it has nice areas to relax in and has great Wi-Fi. The coffee is delicious, and the "bagels" (perhaps not quite what you're used to) and quiches are decent.

6. La Cantonata
$$$ | |This is a favorite local spot for a calm, candlelit evening of fresh Italian fare. The pastas are made daily—go for the spaghetti Cantonata or the lasagna. The atmosphere caters well to both couples on date night and special occasions.

7. La Estancia
$$$ | |This upmarket restaurant specializes in Bolivian fare, prepared and served with a little more finesse than you might find elsewhere. The steaks are excellent, a good example of Bolivian beef well prepared, and although they also offer Argentine meat, the price difference isn't really worth it. There's a good list of local wines, and the opportunity to sample them shouldn't be missed. If you're having steak, pair it with La Concepcion Cabernet Sauvignon or the Tannat from Anajuez.
Pasaje Boulevard de la Recoleta 0786, Cochabamba, Cochabamba, Bolivia04-424--9262 -
8. Las Islas
$$ | |This late-night street-food option, with various stalls set up along the road selling local classics, is the place to get a taste of the famed Cochabambino gastronomy. Particularly worth trying is the silpancho (breaded steak cutlet, served with an egg on rice and fried potato, and topped with a tomato chili salsa) or even better, the aptly named trancapecho, which you could roughly translate as a chest blocker—the already carb-loaded beast of a silpancho put into a sandwich. Though it is street food, there is a really high turnaround, so it is generally safe, fresh, and always tasty. Ask any taxi driver and they'll get you straight here. The stalls are usually set up from 8 pm and keep serving until the early hours of the morning.

9. Muele del Diablo
$$ | |A cultural space and pizza restaurant of the highest caliber, Muele is a great choice for a chilled Cochabamba evening. The music is usually pretty good—a smooth, sometimes jazzy rock—the crusts are thin, and the vibe is young and friendly. It's also an excellent choice for lunch, thanks to the sunny interior patio and a pizza and salad special for only (Bs)30. And to top it off, they make a fine cup of coffee with local Yungas beans. (They also have a little outlet in the airport, which makes for a great preflight caffeine hit.)

10. Paprika
$$$ | |Thanks to its solid menu, excellent service, and fair prices, Paprika is vying fiercely for the top spot in the city offering a classy evening out. There is nothing revolutionary happening in the kitchen, but the trout in a creamy fennel sauce and surubí (similar to a catfish) in a spicy, nutty sauce are highly recommended. Their interpretation of the traditional pique macho (a monstrous plate dominated by chunks of beef and sausage, piled up with fries, boiled eggs, and a spicy chili sauce) is a treat. The service is excellent, and the prices are surprisingly fair. Reservations are recommended on the weekend.
