Gustu Restaurant

South from the city of La Paz, we find one of the top 50 best restaurants around the world. Gustu Restaurant works with great respect for each local ingredient from the Andean to the Amazon region in Bolivia.

The restaurant and also cooking school were opened in 2013 inspired by the local cultural diversity. The project was created by Danish culinary entrepreneur Claus Meyer with the vision of inspiring a new generation of chefs that will work exclusively with local ingredients. This aimed to support the local farmers in this landlocked destination. Today, they have 13 other schools open with already 2500 and more people graduated with a great hiring rate.
