I was looking forward to discovering this restaurant for christmas night, drawn in by the enthusiastic reviews and recommendations, but I left quite disappointed, perhaps because I'm not a vegetarian. Although the chef’s creativity and his desire to combine flavors were evident, I found that almost all the dishes lacked depth in terms of taste. There was a clear intention to innovate, but something seemed to be missing in every plate, with the notable exception of the vegetable tartare, which was truly perfect. My companion also particularly enjoyed the last dessert.
We opted for the 10-course surprise menu with wine pairings, for a total of $170 USD ( obviously very expensive compared to the wine pairing) for two people. At this price, and after dining in restaurants offering impeccable gastronomic quality for less than $35 (2 entrances + 2 plate + 2 cocktails) for two like Manqu’a Restaurant. I expected a top-tier culinary experience. Perhaps my expectations were too high, after enjoying excellent meals elsewhere in La Paz.
However, it’s worth mentioning that the service was impeccable: attentive, professional, and pleasant, which certainly made our meal more enjoyable.
