The Flor de Leche cheese factory, located just outside the city of La Paz, Bolivia, in the village of Achocalla, produces some of the country's finest gourmet cheeses. We were told that the owner is from Holland (a pair of wooden shoes decorates a wall). It has a small, rustic restaurant that showcases its artisan cheeses. We went on a recent Saturday afternoon and sat at an outdoor table. We were simply blown away by the amazingly delicious fondue, made with four different fine cheeses and a Bolivian white wine. The fondue is served with a bit of an Andean twist: instead of French bread cubes to dip in the cheese sauce, pieces of simple La Paz "marraqueta" rolls; also some tender baby purple potatoes to dip in the sauce. A lovely salad with a delicate dressing (I think it is called "petersalsa", if I recall correctly). Service by our two waiters was impeccable; they were gracious, well trained, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely return to try the pizza. Worth driving outside the city to find this culinary gem!

Food is top notch and so is the service. The decoration makes you feel as though in a village in Italy, given that the tables and the overall setup are quite rustic (and cozy!).

Il Portico is a small family owned restaurant. It's a bit far from everything else, you have to take a taxi (or go by car), no public transportation takes you there, but it's only a 15 minute drive from San Miguel and you'll find it's worth it. Marcello (the owner) is always there. You can choose from various pizzas and different pastas (we love the agnolotti) with many different sauces as well. Everything is always fresh and delicious! And very cheap!

Been here on business for 10 days. Tried lots of restaurants, including 3 Italian restaurants. They were good, but nothing to remember. But once stopping here, this place was wonderful! loved the pasta dishes (cannaloni), salads, desserts. Has charm and intimacy, and neighborhood feel. I'd go back everynight for a week. Maybe two weeks. Maybe just move in permanently.We LOVE your review! Thank you very very much! We hope to see you again when you visit La Paz!SaludosGabriela!

Visited on a Sunday evening when the restaurant was very quiet. Nicely decorated with numerous Fellini film posters. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had salad starters which were excellent. We both opted for pizzas and they were also excellent- best I had on my trip to South America. Thin with a fresh tomato sauce. I would definitely eat here again. Dear HappyGilmore1969Thank you very much for your kind comment, we are really glad to read you had a great time over here. We hope you can visit us again soon when you come to La Paz.Kind Regards.
