If you\u2019ve decided on Bolivia for an upcoming vacation, you're in for a real treat. <\/em><\/p>\n

Bolivia is the kind of magical place that somehow stands out from anywhere else you\u2019ve ever been or may someday visit. Maybe it\u2019s the down-to-earth vibe or the omnipresent feeling of hard work and humility\u2026 whatever intangible presence you feel in the air in the heights of Bolivia\u2019s mountains, plains, and lakes, there\u2019s no confusing it with neighboring countries like Argentina or Uruguay. And to top it off, the food is tasty, filling, and affordable\u2013all key points for any budget-conscious vacationer. Here are 6 top picks for a great meal in La Paz, Bolivia\u2019s capital city:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Namas Te<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Calle Zoilo Flores #1334, esquina Almirante Grau (San Pedro)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple dishes prepared with fresh ingredients make up the signature cuisine at Namas Te. After eating lots of potatoes, meats, and other heavy dishes as you travel through Bolivia, don\u2019t miss your chance for lighter, vegetarian-friendly fare at this sweet, relaxed, cafe-style eatery.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Pace\u00f1a La Salte\u00f1a<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

4 locations, including Calle Heroes del Pacifico #1162, cerca Plaza Uyuni<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many would argue that the one food you simply must eat while traveling in Bolivia is the salte\u00f1a<\/i>. Don\u2019t fool yourself into thinking it\u2019s just another name for \u201cempanada\u201d because of its doughy outer shell. The juices of a good salte\u00f1a<\/i> are unlike any empanada<\/i> you\u2019ve ever had, and the crews at Pace\u00f1a La Salte\u00f1a\u2019s four locations throughout the capital have a reputation for consistently serving up some of the city\u2019s best hand-held meals.<\/p>\n

3. El Patio<\/b><\/h3>\n

Calle Murillo #826<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For a mere $5 you can enjoy a wonderful meal in a bright, cheery environment at El Patio. You\u2019ll appreciate the elegant touches, like linen table clothes, color-coordinated decor, and a modest wine menu while people-watching from the restaurant\u2019s outdoor seating area.<\/p>\n

4. Restaurante El Consulado<\/b><\/h3>\n

Calle Carlos Bravo #299, esquina Tiwanaku<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the occasion calls for a touch of elegance, head on over to Restaurante El Consulado. This charming old building also serves as a guest house, so you can even consider staying for a few nights while visiting the area. Located just a few blocks over from all the noise and congestion of downtown La Paz, it\u2019s the perfect spot to give your legs a rest, grab a cup of coffee, and flip through your guide book as you come up with a plan of attack for that afternoon\u2019s adventures.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Gustu<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Calle 10 #300, casi Costanera (Calacoto)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abandon your budget for an evening if you are a looking for what may be La Paz\u2019s most uniquely upscale dining experience, and make reservations at Gustu. The innovative menu features ingredients that are indigenous to Bolivia, yet it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll see dishes prepared and presented quite like this anywhere else. Come eager for a whole different type of culinary treat.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Cafe del Mundo<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Calle Sagarnaga #324<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re sure to stumble upon the welcoming Cafe del Mundo while walking around the downtown tourist district of La Paz. They serve up plenty of lunch fare, but the real attraction here tends to be the breakfast menu, which is conveniently served all day long. Belgian waffles at 3pm? Sounds like a winner to me! Take advantage of the free WiFi to check in on emails or take care of other important business online.<\/p>\n
