Nice buffet, atmosphere and the people who run it

4 Posted on 11 / 29 / 2012

This buffet had a mixture of Bolivian food (including quinoa, tostones, etc.) and some Bolivian-Chinese food. They had some rare juices (plus various mates, including mate de coca) that was free with the buffet. Great atmosphere--this restaurant is in an old house in a neighborhood with character. Most items were vegan. The only minus--the food was not the least bit spicy (somewhat bland), but then this is Bolivia and not India or Singapore! The price is currently 29 Bs for the all-you-can-eat buffet.

Pros: good atmosphere, friendly people, great ambiance
Cons: a bit bland

Nice place, over priced

We checked this place out the other day, and yes it is a bit out of the way, but not too hard to find. The restaurant is very nice, and the owner was very friendly. The food was all decent, but on the day that we went, the main was rice and beans. Don't get me wrong, I love rice and beans, but 24 bolivianos is very expensive for rice and beans!

The only other comments that I have would be that the buffet was a lot smaller than we had expected, and the soup was delicious! Most things on the buffet were vegan.

Pros: Nice setting, Good soup
Cons: Not 100% Vegan, Small Buffet, Expensive

An Oasis in the Meat-Frenzy of Bolivia!

Even though the hours are limited (12-2:30pm m-f) and the location is a titch hard to find, this place is well worth the effort! The man who runs it is super sweet and helpful, and at 24 bolivianos for all-you-can eat soup, salad, mains, desert and drinks, it really is a bargain! Almost everything was vegan (just ask and they will tell which few items are not), and the peanut soup was especially good. I wish I was in La Paz longer to go back more often!

Pros: self-serve buffet, vegan-friendly, helpful staff
Cons: limited hours, a little hard to find
