La Patarashca
Regional Amazon cuisine is on tap in Patarashca’s casual 2nd-floor dining room. With street views and a tropical ambience, it’s a popular weekend place to see and be seen. Don’t miss the paiche (a freshwater fish) and salad made of chonta, thin strips of a local palm plant doused in vinaigrette, or the namesake patarashcas, heaping platters of giant shrimp or fish grilled with garlic and cilantro.

La Collpa
You can practically taste the jungle air at this stilt restaurant, with a bamboo balcony over a river and a patch of rainforest. The menu offers up everything imaginable, from ceviche (raw seafood marinated in lime juice) to typical jungle food to grills to Chinese food to pastas. It’s best to come for lunch to appreciate the views, though candlelit dinners are also a treat.

Café d’ Mundo
A funky establishment illuminated nightly by moody candlelight, this hip restaurant and bar has outdoor seating and snug indoor lounges. Good pizzas, pastas and other tidbits adorn a small menu and a full bar will help you pass the rest of the evening away comfortably. The continually roaring mototaxis tend to detract from the mood a little, however.

El Rincón Sureño
One of the best grills in town, this swish-looking establishment has intimate wood-lined rooms as well as a bustling outdoor seating area. The grilled meats here are delicious and El Rincón Sureño boasts what must be one of the largest wine collections in all of South America.

El Brassero
Carnivores congregate at this great grill. Choose your cut; pork ribs are the specialty, funky acid-jazz tunes are a bonus. The owners love to chat – they only close when the coals die down and people leave.
