Bravo's Pizza
A cozy hideaway - when the big screen isn't on the Latin music channel - with something for everyone, this place does decent breakfasts, good coffee and very tasty chunky pizzas. It's child friendly (there's even a playroom) and popular with both visitors and locals.
-
Confitería Dumbo
This is a decent quick stop for cakes, empanadas, salteñas (meat and vegetable pasties), hot drinks and helados (ice creams).
-
El Huerto
This tiny spot does snacks and cooked-to-order lunches. It's friendly if a little wacky. Don't be alarmed by the list of 'kills'; we think they mean mates !
-
El Puente
If you want to try charquekan, head to one of the eateries around the bus station or, better, to El Puente, near Plaza Pagador.
-
Govinda
Forget you're in Bolivia for a meal or two at this Hare Krishna-devoted restaurant where vegetarian meals are fresh, cheap and creative.
-
Jordan's
There's a bit of everything here, with a clothes shop at the front, internet terminals upstairs and a wireless zone in the café. Best is the café, which serves pricy but excellent coffee and moist, tasty cakes in a stylish modern space.
-
La Cabaña
This attractive bamboo-clad restaurant is an attentive, amiable place that serves Oruro's best steaks; they are all delicious. Go for the half portions unless you are seriously hungry. There are also omelettes, and pasta and fish dishes.
-
La Casona
This great little spot has a friendly buzz. Hot-out-of-the-oven salteñas by day, quick sandwiches for lunch and pizza by night keep this place busy.
-
Las Brasas
Another decent grilled-meat restaurant is this down-to-earth place, where tasty churrasco (steak) is grilled on the street to the envy of passers-by.
-
Las Delicias
There are several popular grilled-meat restaurants on this long street. This is perhaps the best, with attentive service and sizzling tableside parrilladas (plates of mixed grilled meats). Almuerzos (set lunches) are served outside on the covered patio.

Mateo's
This traditional café-restaurant on a busy corner in the heart of town has a range of adequate snacks, light meals, decent coffee and cold beer.
-
Nayjama
This appealing upstairs choice is run by well-traveled chef Roberto, who presides over a kitchen that turns out high-quality food in huge portions. It's Oruro traditional cooking with a dash of innovation and a very high standard. There's a cracking vegetarian plate (ask for more veggie choices), but the restaurant's specialty is colita, the exquisitely tender and tasty back end of a lamb.
-
Paprika
This smart upstairs restaurant is popular with local business workers for their lunch. It's a light, comparatively formal place by Oruro standards, and the service and food are of good quality.
-
Restaurant Pagador
The cheapest set-lunch specials are around the train station and Mercado Campero. Recommended is Restaurant Pagador, deservedly popular with locals.
-
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.
