Phayawi Restaurante

We visited during a sort of festival celebrating La Paz’s anniversary, so the menu was a special edition. Overall, the food was good, but nothing particularly memorable — except for the starter: a Mini Pork Shoulder Sandwich. That was absolutely sensational! I’d go back just to eat that 100 times. The service was outstanding — polite, attentive, and very professional. Everything was explained clearly, and all of our questions were answered. If that sandwich is still on the menu when you go, order several and enjoy every bite!

Amazing delicious Bolivian meal, if we weren’t so full we would’ve tried to keep eating! Wonderful friendly staff that explained the menu and had great advice on what to try. We speak very little Spanish and they were very helpful throughout. I will dream of the peanut soup, beyond what I could’ve imagined it to be!

I can confidently say that this restaurant and its young lovely talent chief deserves high praise for their authentic cuisine and excellent service. From their signature dishes to their warm hospitality, I love them all. I highly recommend checking out this culinary gem and experiencing Bolivia's rich flavors for yourself.

I loved the atmosphere, I happy to see more places like this in La Paz. Service was great and of course food was excellent, you have to try the sautéed onions in the Lomo and those ispis.

This place is a gem. Food is fantastic authentic Bolivian food. With a great service. Marcos was extremely helpful and went out of his way to accommodate me when I don’t speak Spanish. I would highly recommend it

Great restaurant! The food is very good, they serve the classic recipes of traditional bolivian dishes. No experimental deconstructions that can be a hit or miss here, only true and tested options, just like bolivian grandmas would cook. The service is also remarkable, all the staff is very helpful and friendly. I was doubting about ordering the Fricasé with mild or strong spice, and the waiter offered to have me test the broth to make a better desition, this was very helpful and a nice detail. The ambiance is quite nice and comfortable, as is the folclore music. Can't recommend enough!

Nice restaurant with nice food, nice drinks and nice staffs. The owner is specially friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

We were visiting from the United States and only had a short time in La Paz before grabbing the overnight bus to Uyuni. We chose Phayami for our one evening meal in town and were so happy that we did. I REALLY appreciated the whole staff working with our tight timetable to catch the bus. We had a chance to meet the chef who was super nice and clearly very talented at her craft (a special shout-out for the Sopa de Mani which was the best of several excellent soups we had during our 2 weeks in Peru/Bolivia). The chef and staff had a cool family-type vibe and it was a special treat to see them celebrating Pachamama at the end of August. No notes except an emphatic "Yes!"
