Abya-Yala
A simple but atmospheric place with rough wooden chairs, an indigenous theme, snacks, mediocre coffee and a friendly feel. There's often folk music at nights on the stage.
-
Aries
This attractive little local is run by a friendly boss and serves a good set lunch and tasty, spicy Bolivian dishes like picante de pollo (chicken with a hot sauce served with potatoes and rice) and pique (a spicy mix of beef, sausages and peppers on a pile of chips).
-
Café-Restaurant Potocchi
A pleasant and inexpensive place serving a range of meals, with plenty of vegetarian choice. It also hosts a peña (folk music program) a couple of nights a week.
-
Chaplin Café
Friendly and comfortable, this place serves mostly Bolivian fare with a few international, including Mexican, dishes. They do decent breakfasts too.
-
Doña Eugenia
Potosí residents swear by this convivial local restaurant at the northern end of town. Head there early (around is best) to make sure you get some of the legendary kala purca (thick maize soup with a hot rock in it). Other specialties include a hearty pork stew, fricasé .
-
El Fogón
This spacious, brightly-lit central restaurant is popular with travelers for its range of international and Bolivian food, including llama steaks. In truth, it's not what it was - portions aren't huge, and the service is poor.
-
Imma Sumac
Most Bolivians acknowledge, when pushed, that Potosí does the best salteñas - juicy, spicy, and oh-so-tasty. Go no further than Imma Sumac, where one of these delicious items goes for around US$1 ; there's a courtyard space to eat in. Cheese or meat empanadas are sold around the market until early afternoon, and in the evening, street vendors sell cornmeal and cheese humitas .
-
Manzana Mágica
This is a worthwhile, strictly vegetarian spot known for its breakfast - muesli, juice, eggs and brown bread, and tasty soy steaks. Lunch is ultra-healthy and à la carte dinners are assertively spiced and portions are big.
