Restaurants in La Paz

Ranked #8 in South America by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, Gustu is the most credentialed restaurant in Bolivia and the clear first choice for a special occasion in La Paz. The kitchen works exclusively with Bolivian ingredients, and the dining room suits couples and small groups well. Dinner closes at 8:30 PM, so plan your evening accordingly. Booking is rated Easy.

Opened in November 2024 by chef Marsia Taha Mohamed and sommelier Andrea Moscoso Weise, Arami brings a focused Amazon-Andes concept to La Paz's casual fine dining tier. Currently easy to book, it is one of the city's most interesting new openings for food-focused travelers. Visit before the reservation window tightens.

Ancestral is La Paz's most compelling case for Bolivian produce cooked over wood fire. Founded in 2019 and winner of the American Express One to Watch Award in 2022, the restaurant by Mauricio Lopez and Sebastián Giménez serves fire-grilled meat alongside local trout and Amazonian paiche. Booking is currently easy, but the international profile means that can change — reserve ahead through your hotel concierge.
