Asuncion — Where We Ate & Drank
We ate at 9 restaurants and drank at 3 bars in Asunción. From Guaton's lomito sandwiches to Talleyrand's old-school service, here's where we went in Paraguay's capital.
Asunción sees so few tourists that every meal came with questions about how we'd ended up there — and then a recommendation, and then usually a free chipa. Guaton's lomito sandwiches, Talleyrand's old-school service, and the Museo del Barro made the case for South America's most overlooked capital.
We spent our days bouncing between 9 restaurants, 3 bars, and a handful of other spots that deserved the detour. June and July are its mild, dry sweet spot.
