The restaurant of the Hotel Apure is also one of the best in town, serving up local specialties including river fish in Amazon curry, and buñuelos (fritters) of cassava with a sauce made from tupiro (a fruit similar to passion fruit). For the less adventurous there are also more familiar dishes such as a range of pastas and meat grills.
