Review of Bolsi – Asunción, Paraguay
What a great spot! Our servers, Cynthia and Isabela, were both very friendly and charming. We used Google Translate to bridge the Spanish–English gap, and they made us feel welcome throughout the meal.
Food Highlights:
Bife de Chorizo (400g): A delicious sirloin strip steak marinated with butter, herbs, and sea salt. Served with rustic mashed potatoes, garlic confit, and crispy shoestring onions. This was recommended by Isabela, and she was right—it was fantastic! For lunch, the portion was huge—I only managed half and took the rest to go.
Vori-Vori: A traditional Paraguayan chicken stew with cheesy corn flour balls. The chicken was moist, and the broth was rich and flavorful. A must-try local dish.
Empanadas: We shared two—Carne and Chilean style. Both were excellent.
Drink: I tried the local Sajonia “Naranjito,” a refreshing light lager with a subtle citrus twist. Perfect for the warm afternoon.
Overall Experience:
An excellent restaurant with a mix of local and international dishes, great service, and generous portions. We found it especially nice for lunch—at night, the area around the restaurant can feel a little quiet and less lively compared to newer parts of town.
Highly recommended if you’re visiting Asunción!
