About

This restaurant feels very formal in a European way. The walls are covered with fancy lace French-style wallpaper, crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and the tablecloths have hand-embroidered paisley designs. The waiters wear white tuxes and cater to your every need. Although the ambience is unique, the food here has its own special flair. For an appetizer, you can order the tasty ceviche de pejerrey (raw kingfish marinated in a tangy lemon juice and served in an oyster shell). The pollo Maxim (chicken filled with ham and cheese) is one of the house specialties. In addition, you can order local dishes such as chorizos chuquisaqueños (pork sausage) and picante mixto. In a nod to French cooking, almost all of the dishes come bathed in a cream sauce, except for the chuletas de cerdo glaseados (pork chops in a red-wine sauce with a touch of sugar).
