Best Argentinean food near Asuncion, Paraguay
Reviews on Argentinean food in Asuncion, Paraguay. The "Mother of Cities" was founded in 1537, and declared independence from Spain in 1811. The charming historic section can be explored on foot. The friendly Paraguayan capital, gateway to the grassy Gran Chaco region, has long been a center of music, poetry and the arts, but only in recent years has Asunción been able to escape its long history of dictatorship rule. Sites to visit include Panteon Nacional de los Heroes, Casa de la Independencia and Catedral de Nuestra Senora de Asuncion.

I have had reason to comment adversely - to put it mildly - on the travesties of Paellas served up in two Asuncion restaurants both claiming to be Spanish. It was therefore with some trepidation that I ordered the Paella, featured as a "special" in Corte y Lena, a restaurant specializing in grilled meats, as its name indicates, on the basis of an excellent (meat-based) meal I had enjoyed there on a previous visit. To say that my gob was smacked by the Paella served up to my single guest and myself ,which would have called for praise even in Spain, is an unfderv statement! I was so impressed that I returned with groups of six and three friends on two more occasions during a ten-day stay in Asuncion, each time ordering the same dish, the quality of which remained invariably excellent.Certainly a venue to note on my next trip!We really appreciate the experience at Corte & Leña that you've already shared!You're always welcome!

Stayed at the Dazzler Hotel for 5 nights and ate here on our first night - 3 x Waguy beef on the menu but none available:(Ordered 3 regular steaks instead.. 2 were ok but the third was wrongly cooked even though all 3 were ordered medium..It took forever before a new steak arrived which was then okService was slow although we were the only guests and 5 staff hanging around - the owner/manager was also around but does not seem to care - and he was not local !

This is pretty much heaven on earth for any foodie or beer lover. They have awesome breads, a huge selection of beers (specially for paraguay), spices, fruits, everything food related and some generic supermarket stuff like soap and whatnot. The cafe (El Molinillo) is great too.

It was my first evening on South American soil after my flight from Europe. It was also a Saturday, so I expected an equal crowd for dinner as at the swimming-pool on the same floor and thus went quite early. Welcome at the restaurant reception was friendly and I was immediately handed out a menu card.Sitting there by myself, having made my choice, nothing seemed to happen anymore. There was just a young lady with an apron sweeping the floor, whom I thought to be a cleaning woman. I asked her if I could get somebody to wait on me and then she came over herself, all smiles.Next to me four men clad accordingly were working behind a sushi-bar. A Japanese touch in a place obviously named after an Italian cocktail, but I made it a Peruvian evening for myself with some white wine from Argentina.First the waitress came back with the wine bottle, telling me that they didn't have the one I asked for, but another one. It was good I had kept the wine list, which the waitress first had wanted to take away. Checking it I saw that the bottle cost exactly the double from my previous order (something I would have expected to be told by the waitress), thus 240'000 PYG instead of 120'000 PYG. I didn't mind and accepted the 'Alegoria Gran Reserve Chardonnay' from the Navarro Correas winery in Mendoza. I had to ask the waitress to bring me an ice bucket. But I definitely enjoyed the wine, which went especially well with my two fish orders.As a starter I selected a 'Ceviche de Surubi', made with pieces of the big catfish, I knew well from my several trips to the Amazon and the Pantanal. The Ceviche was well done with all the classic ingredients, but it was served with chop sticks, not ideal to spoon up the 'Leche de Tigre', which wasn't missing.My main course had been again a Surubi (a fish, which also lives in the river Paraguay), but this time it was grilled, served on top of a cassava purée and with a criolla sauce of mango and passionfruit in a separate little bowl next to it. Very good again, but what I didn't like was the fact that it did come almost simultaneously with the starter. I had to tell the waitress to take it back and to bring it, when I had finished the Ceviche. Thanks to a microwave oven it was still served warm later on.In memory of one of my favorite cities, especially foodwise, I asked for 'Suspiros Limeños' (Sighs from Lima) as a dessert. Nothing to complain about, but unusual at the end was the fact that although a hotel guest I couldn't charge my room and had to pay right there.All in all I was surprised by the discrepancy between the high standard food and the substandard service. I didn't return for another meal.

A bit over the top in décor and attempted attitude but good Italian. Pretty place, good food, good service. At first I was turned off by all the mirrors and American Express ads, but liked the waiter and food. Good choice as it is across the street from the Sheraton and a few blocks from other major hotels. For a city not used to visitors, they are very accustomed to visitors and offer a good option

Reasonably varied buffet, with emphasys in inexpensive, bulky food. The meat is not as good as in most steakhouses in town. Service of the best cuts is available only after repetitive and insistent offers of lower quality ones. Higiene is not great.
