Paraguay Food Guide: 3 Contemporary food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Asuncion
Reviews on Contemporary 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.

After three month we have been dining again at Tierra Colorada. Both our dishes were overwhelming. One of them being "lamb 16 hours cooked softly" Rodolfo Angenscheidt is to be congratulated.Service as good as ever.By 10:30 pm the place was packed and a large queue outside.

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.
