Service is excellent and pretty quick. It's sort of a basic fast food with dishes of the tradition. And the food is acceptable at a reasonable price. Not more, not less. Will I go back? For sure.

The food was a little above average but not spectacular. If you need sandwiches, etc. this place is okay. if require fine dining go elsewhere. The coolest thing was the little electronic gadget on the table. Press the "Call" button and with seconds your waiter is at your table. Press the "Bill" button and he appears with your bill. I...

They have both indoor and outdoor sections. Place always crowded because it is conveniently located, opens till late and does cater to mostly a younger crowd. This place is ok for a sandwich, hamburger, salad or simple steak and fries. This is NOT a fancy high class place. Really, I cannot believe the reviews given this place as being excellent.... More

Popped into this restaurant for a little Sunday lunch and was impressed. The pastry and dessert counter was amazing. Make sure you order a small salad as even that is massive. Homemade mayonnaise was gorgeous. Hot chocolate and coffee were spot on!

We stayed in Asuncion for about a week and Bolsi is our favorite restaurant. The restaurant has a mixed crowd; some people come for a full meal and others for desert. The few times we were there, we ordered a few dishes with beef tenderloin/steak. The dishes were well presented, good quality, and delicious. Their curry fish soup is also... More

I've eaten here many times and never had a bad meal. A great selection of gourmet choices, all served with a flair. The menu is the same whether you eat outside, in the cafe or in the dining room. I like the dining room for the ambience.

We stopped here for lunch one day while site seeing. It was very moderatly priced (for an American) with some great food. The service was a tad slow but what else is new in Paraguay?
