As one of South America’s smaller and most isloated countries, Bolivia is a land of contradictions. It’s one of the poorest nations on the continent, yet it possesses one of the richest histories — and now, a restaurant sure to put Bolivia on the world’s gastronomic map.

Claus Meyer, better known as the man behind Noma in Copenhagen, which was voted the world’s best restaurant for three years until it was knocked off its post last year, has opened a new restaurant 3,600 metres above sea level in La Paz, the country’s capital city.

Gustu brings traditional Bolivian food to the table — think Llama filet with glazed chuno, and ox cheeks with mushrooms. Will it mark the start of a worldwide Bolivian food trend? Watch this space.
