I ordered snack sandwiches for a baby shower with palmhearts. What a surprise I had upon eating one and finding no palmhearts inside. I checked every one of the sandwiches and not a single palmheart was found. I called to let them know and they didnt seem much worried about the complaint.

The chocolate lava cake is delicious and decadent. Allow 20 minutes for it to bake. It's worth the wait!

All in all not a good experience. The food was ok, but we had to wait al long time for everything eventhough the employees were doing nothing. We ordered drinks (juice) to have with the food, but had to ask for them again half way through. When they finally came with the juice, they only brought it for one person...... More

This is a casual restaurant with really good food; there are a few locations in the city, and I'm only familiar with the one near the Centro Japones. At this location, in addition to the restaurant, there's a bakery where you can buy a range of things (from chocolates, puddings, and cakes to chipa, croissants, and other baked goods) to... More

Asuncion has an extraordinarily varied selection of restaurants , ethnic and otherwise and on each visit I discover more! I was introduced to one branch of La Vienesa by a friend on the third day of my 12th visit to the Paraguayan capital and to another, by different friends, five days later. The first visit was for lunch and to... More

There are several of these in Paraguay and as a visitor I have been going to them for years. I have never been dissapointed and the food and selection just keeps getting better and better. Both their extensive sweet selections as well as their restaurant/bar food keeps expanding with no loss of quality. If you need food to go this... More

Our first night in Asuncion some new friends took us here for dinner. It is bright and welcoming, with a full menu that includes many traditional Paraguayan foods. We were very pleased with the atmosphere, food and service, and found it to be a great first stop into a new culture.

Great salads and soups but the worst service I've had in a long time. There is always waiting for a table, but once you sit down, you still have to wait for a server. Minimum one hour for a "quick" lunch. So if you go be sure to have time to wait. They also make cakes and pastries for carry... More

Nice menu. Not fancy but good. They have a nice variety of baked goods. Two locations. I have only eaten at the downtown location. Outdoor seating is available.
