Rieux Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 If you happen to find yourself in Asuncion, I can report on a few places. One night we ate at the delightful Mercadito restaurant, where you can sit outside, have half a bottle of good Malbec a churrasco cut stuffed with cheese and peppers, and an appetizer of more cheese for $40. It's a good choice. I really liked the meat, and thought it better than the meat we had the night before at O Gaucho restaurant. O Gaucho is a chirrascaria with rodizio (think Fogo de Chí£o) which had good, if not spectacular, meats. I think its overhyped by the locals, but was ok. It's worth trying the local beer (Pilsner) and eating lots of beef (you won't have a choice). On your way out of town stop at the South American Football Association, FIFA's South American institution, to visit the very worthwhile museum.

Rieux Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Forgot to add, Tierra Colorada is supposed to be the best restaurant in town, but we did not go as I spent a lot of time with our local staff and its a bit pricey for them (but normally priced by US salary standards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
