Café restaurants in Bolivia

  1. A

    Café Mirador

    The café of the Museo de los Niños Tanga-Tanga overlooks a botanical garden that exhibits a range of foliage from around the country. The panoramic views are a sunset treat and worth the hike up the hill, and it's a sweet place to linger over juice, sandwiches, cocktails or the rich desserts.

    Café Mokka

    A stylish place with a pavement terrace overlooking the square, they serve not-amazing coffee, decent cocktails and good, light grub. Tables are decorated with weird arrangements of peanuts and coffee beans.

  3. Villa Bonita

    This delightfully peaceful garden-cafe is 600m from town but feels a world away. The relaxed, personable owners offer delicious homemade ice creams and sorbets bursting with fresh fruit, tasty sundaes with unusual local liqueurs, and an eclectic range of vegetarian dishes. Meals are served outside where you can appreciate the valley views.

    SUM

    This upstairs café is opposite the tourist kiosk - you enter through a small salteñería (place specializing in salteñas - filled pastries). It's a peaceful spot more used to locals than tourists. What's on offer is very limited, but the service is friendly.

    Confitería Club de La Paz

    For a quick coffee or empanada, join the well-dressed elderly patrons in their daily rituals. The cafe was formerly renowned as a literary cafe and haunt of politicians (and, formerly, of Nazi war criminals); today, it’s better known for its strong espresso and cakes.

    Le Bistrot

    Hang out with the Sopochachi cool cats at this chic bistrot below the Alianza Francesa. It's got a smoky atmosphere, art on the walls and funky lighting, and is pleasant for a crêpe and coffee. The food lets it down a little, but it's a lovely place to chill.

    4060

    This spacious contemporary café-bar has earned plenty of plaudits for its pizzas, burgers and Mexican food (and paella, if you order it in advance) and as a sociable spot for a drink. There’s a good beer selection.

    La Casona
