Arami puts Bolivia's biodiversity on a plate

Tucked away in La Paz, Bolivia's dramatic administrative capital, where the city tumbles down a canyon against the backdrop of the Andes, Arami is one of the country's most exciting new culinary destinations. Opened in November 2024, its name means 'little sky' in Guarani - a fitting tribute to a restaurant that aims high while staying deeply rooted in Bolivian identity.

The dream partnership behind Arami brings together acclaimed chef Marsia Taha Mohamed and sociologist-sommelier Andrea Moscoso Weise. Taha, who spent a decade shaping the celebrated Gustu before being named Latin America's Best Female Chef in 2024, pairs culinary precision with a deep respect for native ingredients. Weise complements that vision by championing Bolivia's wine heritage and gastronomic identity.

The menu is an elegant conversation between the Amazon and the Andes, exploring how geography, ecology and culture intertwine. A delicate fig tart with sacha inchi and goat's cheese balances earthy richness with gentle sweetness, while coconut, tucupi and edible flowers create a dish that is as visually striking as it is nuanced.


Inventive yet grounded, refined without pretension, Arami leaves diners with the sense that the country's extraordinary biodiversity has found its most eloquent culinary voice.
