1. El Aljibe
$$ | |This is simply the best place to go for a taste of local Cruzeño cuisine. The cozy, traditional-feeling dining room is housed in a late-19th-century home with plenty of restored furniture, and the food is top notch—just like Grandma would have done it. The sopa de maní (peanut-and-potato soup) is rich and creamy, and the majadito con pato (a traditional dish of rice, duck, and fried plantain, topped with an egg) is a must. The menu changes daily and if you don't speak Spanish, it can be a little confusing, but soldier on through and eat whatever they bring you. You won't regret it.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. La Cocina
$$ | |The Turkish couple behind La Cocina have earned accolades from all corners with the simplest of recipes: make everything from scratch and make it with love. Their burgers are meaty and juicy, and the shawarma (sliced rotisserie lamb in pita bread), kofte (minced lamb meatball kebabs with a mint sauce), and gozleme (a hand-rolled and folded Turkish flatbread stuffed with ground beef or vegetables) hit the mark perfectly. There are some tasty vegetarian options, including falafel, and a few ventures into tasty Tex-Mex territory. The prices are reasonable, so grab a stool on the street at the window, order with abandon, and watch the Samaipata evening go by.

5. 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.

6. 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.)

7. Panaderia Kawka
$$ | |This great little bakery, complete with chalkboard specials and baguettes leaning against the walls, is the perfect place to cool your heels before a morning of sightseeing or to stock up for a picnic out of town. The coffee is excellent, and the croissants alone are worth a special stop. Don't miss the whole-wheat empanadas.

8. Tierra Libre
$$ | |Set in a beautiful garden near the town square, this eatery offers excellent Bolivian and International food. The tapas-like Tablitas are great for sampling a variety of flavors. Vegetarian dishes are prepared with organic, locally grown ingredients and the lemonade is squeezed just before it reaches the table. Live music is occasionally featured on weekends.
