3 Best Restaurants in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia

Fancy organic vegetarian pizza at 4,010 meters (13,156 feet) up—why not? This candle-lit local home, furnished with just a handful of tables and full of authentic family atmosphere, stands proud and popular on a forested clearing near the top of Cerro Quñuani. It's perfect for sunset, but be prepared to wait for your order as everything, including the pizza, is made from scratch. There are also pastas and Bolivian staples like trout and kingfish on the basic menu.

Renovated in 2020, this hip vegan bakery packs in travelers who come for the pizzas, focaccias, gluten-free tortillas, empanadas, proper espressos, and filling breakfast platters. Next door, their side business, Baguette About It, prepares yummy sandwiches that mix South American and international flavors—think avocados, mango chutney, and spices—and has a good selection of cocktails and beers.

Overlooking a crest on the western side of the lake, this adobe-and-corrugated-iron restaurant has wooden tables facing what is possibly the most beautiful view in Yumani. The usual menu of pizzas, completos, and trout mix well with the scenery and the more-than-adequate cocktails. And they serve breakfast, too.
