Bolsi

We had the Cesar salad, and the canastita de comidas típicas, as well as a chop and piña colada (I did not like it). the food was very good! The best part was the service, our waiter Cesar was extremely kind and helpful.

Nice café in a convenient location, just around the corner from the Panteón. The service was good and the atmosphere pleasant. There’s a lovely outdoor seating area to enjoy your drink. Even if the views aren’t the best (except for the mural on the building in front of it) it is a nice spot to stop and relax.

My bill was 236,000 guaranies. We did not have a good experience at this well known place. We arrived around 11:15am, before the lunch rush. The staff kept passing by us, and we had to keep getting their attention. We were there more than 20 minutes before getting even a drink order in. Then a total of an hour before our food arrived. I saw it just sitting in the window, and had to ask for it to be picked up. When my wrap arrived it was under seasoned, the lettuce was soggy and brown and the meat a light brown or grey color. We tried to get the attention of supervisor, she was on her phone for the entire time we were there. Literally the entire hour, at the register on her phone. She just looked at me and then ignored me. We counted 9 employees standing around not doing anything. It looks like they are overstaffed and underdeliver. No one came to ask how our our meal was. I usually give a large tip, but could not in this case. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place. Oveja Negra, or Mariscal Shopping are much better restaurant choices. The sushi was delicious. But overall very dissapointed.

I asked my waiter if the bread basket was free. “¿Es gratis?” (Showed it to him on the translation app) he nodded and looked at me like I was silly. Then I was charged 10k for it. No where on the English menu mentioned this. I don’t mind if the cover is mandatory, it’s the lying about it part that bothers me. I think to avoid this you can eat in the cafe part that is more casual and not the part with table cloth. I ordered surubi appetizer and surubi soup, because I wanted to try the fish. The fried fish was not crispy and the some of the cabbage garnish underneath had black edges. The broth was good. Thumbs up for ambience and presentation.

It's a fun place to hang out and cheap. I advise you to get empanadas in a beer. They overcooked my last day otherwise I would have given it a higher rating.

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!

My place in Asuncion. Been there many times. Loved (almost) everything. The only reason for the 4 not 5 stars, is that there no prices (which are reasonable) on the menu. Come on guys! And some music will do as well.

Interesting place. They have a huge variety of dishes, baked goods, and drinks including nice draft beer. Server was nice to us despite language barrier caused by us. But they did not have any of the items I ordered to eat e.g. several seafood items, so to me it looked like the extensive menu was more of a wish list versus something they actually have to eat, which I find frustrating, as they let me order beer and requested food but took 10 minutes to tell us we don’t have your food. Still I rate them well because other customers seemed to be enjoying their bakery case items which I did not care to eat for lunch. Anyways the beer was cheap and good.
