Gustu

Top choice in La Paz


Credited with sparking La Paz' culinary renaissance, and launched by the Danish culinary entrepreneur Claus Meyer (of Noma fame), this groundbreaking restaurant works to both rescue and showcase underutilized Bolivian ingredients. It's located in a gorgeous building rich with Andean textiles, and offers everything from Andean grains to caiman from the Amazon. Even the wine pairings come from within Bolivia.

Those looking for a true foodie bargain should stop by for the three-course set lunches, which cost just B$95.
