Ancestral Restaurante La Paz

Ancestral Restaurante sits on Calle 10 de Achumani, a fair distance from the city centre landmarks like Plaza Murillo and the Museo Nacional de Arqueología. It holds the no. 62 spot on the 2024 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list. The kitchen focuses on contemporary and traditional South American cooking. The room runs smart and elegant.

Most dining in this city clusters near the central plazas, but the trek to this address pays off. By staying away from the tourist-heavy districts, the restaurant creates a quieter environment than its neighbours in the capital. While the terrace and views are often mentioned by visitors, they matter less than the fact that the menu avoids the usual crowd-pleasing cliches found in the historical centre. It is the destination for anyone who prefers a serious plate over a central location.
