Phayawi La Paz

Phayawi sits on C/. 22 de Achumani, a twenty-minute walk from Plaza Villarroel. It holds the number 68 spot on the 2024 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list. The kitchen focuses on South American and international dishes, served in a space that runs smart and elegant.

Choosing Phayawi over other restaurants nearby is a matter of ambition. While most of the district settles for traditional comfort, this kitchen attempts a modern interpretation of regional staples that can feel uncomfortably experimental for some. You come here when you want a break from the predictable; it is the only address in the area that treats the menu as a creative challenge rather than a rote exercise.
