Fodor's Expert Review Gustu

Not just a restaurant but an entire cultural experience, this is the one restaurant in La Paz you can’t miss. Run as a nonprofit initiative (as part of a project by Danish restaurateur Claus Meyer), Gustu is a training ground for underprivileged youths who want to enter the world of gastronomy. At the same time it serves a refined, modern, and 100% local tasting menu that fuses modern Scandinavian style with top-quality, responsibly sourced Bolivian ingredients. Sip tasty and inventive cocktails as you sit at the bar working your way through the superb snack menu. Knowledgeable, talented staff are on hand to guide you through a bewildering array of ingredients you've probably never heard of. Don’t hesitate to go for the full tasting menu. It will be a unique Bolivian experience and among the cheapest top-class, modern tasting menus you’ll find anywhere in the world.
