Copacabana Restaurants

  1. Café Bistrot

    The only thing missing from this place is Oscar from Sesame Street. There are colored tables and 'The Nest' corner for reading, writing or chilling over a drink. There are also musical instruments, including an Australian didgeridoo, and even Vegemite and Marmite (spreads) for Aussies and Brits. Like any pre-school, it's a tad messy, and the food takes 20 minutes as the dishes are prepared using fresh ingredients.

  2. Kota Kahuaña

    Everything is muy rico! (delicious!) at Hotel Rosario del Lago's restaurant. It's one of the more expensive in town, but is worth the splurge, especially for the stuffed trout in a romantic atmosphere with lake views. An excellent salad bar, imaginatively prepared main courses and Bolivian wines ensures a fine-dining experience.

  3. La Cúpula Restaurant

    Inventive use of local ingredients make up an extensive international and local menu. The vegetarian range includes a lasagna, and there's plenty for carnivores too. Dip your way through the cheese fondue with authentic gruyere cheese - it's to die for… which leaves the Bolivian chocolate fondue with fruit platter beyond description. The glassy surroundings admit lots of Altiplano light and maximize the fabulous view of the lake.

  4. La Orilla

    This creative winner - decked out with masks and tasteful décor - is a warm, cozy and social experience. And we haven't even got to the food, a more international experience including huge portions of cannelloni, stuffed trout (highly recommended) and coconut fish curry. Vegetarians are well catered for.

  5. Pacha Café Restaurant Pub

    There's bit of everything at this tastefully decorated barn-like place, including a fire place, cocktails pizzas to trucha (trout, prepared in nine ways). Cold when empty, but fun when full.

  6. Pensión Aransaya

    Super-friendly local favorite for a tall, cold beer and trout heaped with all the trimmings.

  7. Pueblo El Viejo

    Readers love this rustic, cozy and chilled café-bar, with its ethnic décor, hippy lighting and laid-back atmosphere. It's run by hipsters and is possibly the only place in town where you can get a half-decent coffee (thanks in part due to an imported Italian espresso machine).

  8. Restaurant Mankha Uta

    Laid-back dudes can chill outside, at tables or on couches with the usual dishes, from pizza to pollo. Or sink your teeth into the trout special, Trout del Patrón over a board game and a film or three.

  9. Restaurant Vegetariano Kala Uta

    An artsy, appealing Andean atmosphere pervades this vegetarian option. Imaginative breakfasts include the poder Andino (Andean power), which features quinoa crepes topped with jam, bananas, yogurt, brazil nuts, raisins and coconut, accompanied by an Andean grain drink. Despite the advertised hours (breakfast, lunch & dinner) it seems to keep its own time.

  10. Snack 6 de Agosto

    Well-prepared meals including the usual breakfast selection and set dinners. The patio seating is heavenly on a sunny day.
