El Cafetero

The tasting journey at this Asunción landmark begins with the fruity, complex aroma of medium-roasted Colombian beans from the Cauca region. Cultural fusion is the guiding principle, where traditional Paraguayan chipa and mbeju are reimagined alongside Colombian arepas. The 'Grandma Sara' combo offers a masterclass in texture, pairing fluffy, thick-cut pancakes with the salt-forward crunch of crispy bacon and a tart apple compote. Technical excellence extends to the coffee program, where baristas utilize diverse extraction methods like Chemex and Aeropress to highlight the bean’s inherent sweetness. The mbeju is prepared with a focus on fermentation, resulting in a unique elasticity and depth of flavor. Each dish is presented on artisanal ceramics, grounding the experience in local craftsmanship. From the first sip of a calibrated espresso to the final bite of a savory reviro, the progression is one of warmth and technical precision.
