Bolsi
A national-style canteen in the old town, open since 1960, where you can eat Vori Vori soup, chipa guasú and surubí fish at the curved bar.
Located at Estrella 399 in the old town (at the Alberdi Street corner), in a 19th-century building, it is a long-standing favorite in central Asunción. Guests can sit at the semicircular bar for snacks and light meals, or dine in the restaurant area. The menu includes Vori Vori chicken meatball soup, sopa paraguaya, milanesa, and snacks such as chipa guasú and Brazilian-style chicken croquettes, plus more than ten ways to prepare surubí fish. Mid-range prices, long opening hours, a short walk to the Presidential Palace and the cathedral area. No reservations needed.
