El Paraguayo

The Paraguayan restaurant, opened in 1975 and run by its founder, John.  This epitome of South American cuisine stays true to its roots and invites us to taste their seasonal suggestions: arugula with mushrooms and goat cheese, grilled vegetables with romesco sauce, burrata di bufala, smoked cheese, pork, half rabbit on the grill, steak with blue cheese, supreme of chicken cutlet, rib of lamb and the king signature dish, steak porker Rio Platense, and we recommend to conclude with a delicious cream of passion fruit, an absolutely stunning dessert crepe Catalan cream and Calvados apple omelet.

Humberto captained the dining room at noon masterfully, Alexander and Sandra receive us at night with sympathy and professionalism as well as Verbenia oversees the kitchen. A house with tradition for more carnivorous and an institution with many years of experience and numerous satisfied and addicted clientele. Typical decoration of Paraguay and reproductions of paintings by Botero, praise of fatness and most expensive living artist in the world. Broths chosen and prudent prices.
