The Santa Cruz branch of Kenchan, a Japanese restaurant also located in La Paz, Bolivia. The appearance and taste were so good that I was impressed with the Japanese style🥹 The restaurant is classified as a high-end restaurant locally, so the inside was crowded with fashionable and wealthy people. There was a line outside, so it must be a popular restaurant with locals. 📍Location: Av. Uruguay 730, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia 🕰️Opening hours: 11:30-15:00, 18:00-23:00 *Closed on Mondays

It’s a good place to stay for a break or if you plan to visit the Bolivian rainforest and there are lots of nice buildings with nice architecture. There is a historical square in the centre of the town that is always quite busy as well as a street with bars, cafes and restaurants on them.
