Local favourites
Negritos
Uninspired menu with some lighter food and drinks. One of a few options providing WiFi in town. Password as of November 2010: negrito8
Bravo's Pizza
Pleasant environment with decent food. Specializes in pizzas.
Nayjama
Slightly more expensive restaurant with many meat dishes such as entrecote and lamb. Food nothing special though.
Pizzeria d'Serigo
Good pizzas at reasonable prices. Try the d'Sergio special which is very good value for money.
El Fogon
Typical Bolivian food with generous portions. Try the Pique for a meal that will fill you on that long bus ride to Uyuni.
