Jet Set LatAM · Restaurant Guide

Tierra Colorada Gastró is an option for exploring contemporary Paraguayan cooking in Asunción. This is a researched booking guide, not a report of a personal meal.

Here’s what to know before booking Tierra Colorada Gastró.

The food

Paraguay’s official tourism directory describes a focus on local ingredients, including cassava, corn and queso Paraguay. Request the current menu instead of assuming that a particular dish will be served.

How to order

Ask which menu formats are available for your date, what they cost and whether drinks are included. Confirm dietary needs and any tasting-menu option directly; neither a fixed format nor a pairing is guaranteed here.

Location and reservations. The restaurant’s own contact page lists Avenida Trinidad 784, Asunción, and telephone +595 21 663 335. Confirm the entrance and booking directly before setting out.

Include your party size and preferred date when reserving. Ask for the current menu, total price and cancellation terms; an old award or menu photograph does not confirm today’s offer.

Taste Paraguay beyond the restaurant

Try chipa (cheese bread) from a street vendor, sopa paraguaya (a savory corn cake), vori vori soup and tereré at the Mercado 4 for the everyday side of Paraguayan food.

Good to know

  • Book ahead. Request a reservation and confirm the available menu for your date.
  • Confirm details. Check current hours, menu and address before you go.
  • What to wear. Ask the restaurant about any current dress requirements when reserving.
