Bar San Roque
Founded in 1900 by Spanish immigrants and said to be Paraguay's oldest restaurant; Paraguayan dishes with German influences, generous portions at low prices.
Located on Eligio Ayala Street in the San Roque district, opposite San Roque Church. Its long wooden bar and olive-green walls preserve the old-fashioned atmosphere of the last century, and past presidents, writers and artists have dined here. The menu blends Paraguayan tradition with German immigrant flavors: surubí fish casserole, puchero (stewed beef), bife koygua (beef in cheese sauce), sopa paraguaya, sauerkraut sausage and German beer. Most dishes come with fried cassava. Prices are low and portions generous, about 1 km from the city center.
