    How can historical place be so tasty? They keep on using the same recipe as when I was young (we're talking 15 years ago mate). It's one of the famous places on "Calle Palma" and a must eat for tourists as well for locals. It's located directly in front of the "Panteón de los Héroes", justa few meters from point zero of Asunción (center). There is also something unique about this restaurant/bar, the ladies, who stay on the other side of the counter, literally yell the orders to the kitchen, which is upstairs. This is sort of a trademark from Lido. It's not something acceptable anywhere else to hear people yell at restaurant, but here, it's like everyone is really used to it, so nobody cares. The other thing that cought my attention is the kind of people you meet. You have a mix of locals and foreigners, really rich people and also working class, sitting next to each other, eating "empanadas" with that oh-my tasty bread. It's really something! You can also be "interrupted" by locals asking you something or just making conversation. It's a beautiful way of meeting the country and its people. I recommend strongly to come here 😌

    Cuidado que no TE dan vuelto y TE have esperar mucho tiempo para TU vuelto. La comida es Rica. Las empanadas y El jugo "restaurador" fueron lo mejor. Becareful if you pay in cash because they keep your change and they make you wait for a long time for your change. They don't return 100% of your change the server will keep some of the change as tip. Tip is not required if they did a bad service. The empanadas and the smoothie "restorer" was the best.

    The restaurant was full so we were conscious that we might wait for a while before eating. The staff was purpously ignoring our table, taking orders from people that entered the restaurant after us and took 40 minutes to take our order. The server was rude and found it funny to come up with excuses for the delay. We waited 1h30min for our food to arrive (but only 2 out of 4 orders). Everyone else had their food in about 30 min (our table found it funny to count how many people that arrived after us were served before us and how much time it took for them to be served). The food never arrived. After 2h of waiting we just paid the drinks and left. The manager was to busy to talk to us. A complete SHITSHOW. If you are a tourist, please find other places to eat and avoid this place. If you are a local, please find other places to eat and avoid this place. Maybe you can find clever ways to enact a petty revenge for us XD

    Great food, good prices but the area when the sun goes down, I wasn't feeling that secure to leave my car unattended.

  • 5/5 Jackie J. 3 months ago on Google New
    I tried a traditional Paraguayan dish (which I’m not 100% sure was on the menu but the server let me order it!) and it was delicious. Nice clean space in centro.

  • 4/5 James 3 months ago on Google New
    Considered the essential place to grab a bite to eat in Asuncion. They have an expansive menu and traditional Paraguayan "cakes" such as Sopa Paraguay and Chipa Guazu. One can seat themselves and order food accordingly. Note that while the food is delicious, service is quite slow even when the restaurant wasn't too busy, it took about 20 minutes before I could place my order and another 40 minutes before I received my food.

  • 5/5 John H. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent new location for this iconic eatery. Food great and views spectacular. Service a little slow because it's crowded.

  • 5/5 Alberto S. 5 months ago on Google
    Being in Lido Bar is part of Paraguayan culture. The service is excellent… in a conversation with one of the waiters, she told me that she has been there for 35 years! My daughter asked a question to the lady writer and in a very sweet way she referred to her in this way… how do you most like my sweet heart! We spend a great family time….

  • 5/5 Deborah V. 9 months ago on Google
    While visiting Asuncion for 3 days, I stopped at Lido to try the famous sopa paraguaya, which isn't actually a soup. Really enjoyed the experience and the place. My server was efficient and friendly. Would def go back and also recommend for those wanting to try local dishes.

  • 5/5 Yano P. 10 months ago on Google
    Another place to have local food made from scratch, must visit if you are on Paraguay

  • 5/5 Yassin 11 months ago on Google
    Was recommended the fish schnitzel (Milanesa) and the fish soup (Chupín) by a local - both in combination with some mashed potatoes was perfect for two. Large portions and absolutely delicious! :D Also shared a juice (ordered without ice and with barely sugar added!) which was also really good. Only bad thing was that the food could have been a bit warmer and the two dishes were not served simultaneously which makes the food temperature even more problematic. Overall though an excellent choice for fish in Asunción ;)

  • 4/5 Spirit E. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great tarta mandioca and good strong coffee. Didn’t like the caldo pescado as much. I sent my juice back because it contained sugar and asked ‘sin todos’ but it returned packed with sweetner. Would have been delicious sin todos! The new fit out is lovely though; very airy and open. Always a fight for a table at lunchtime!

  • 5/5 Jos C. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place for a pit stop when exploring Asunción. Delicious empanadas, friendly service, decent prices. We sat at the window which was a good view of the cathedral

    (Translated by Google) Lido bar is the best! Surubí Fish Broth / Soup and the delicious empanadas as always (Original) Lido bar es lo más! Caldo/sopa de Pescado Surubí y las empanadas deliciosas como siempre

  • 4/5 Tommy-Maurice G. 1 year ago on Google
    (2023-01-05) The Lido Bar is the place to eat if you go to Asunción. The quote written in the restaurant is not there for nothing. It was clean and the people working there are polite and professional. As you see in the pictures, I took an "Empanadas de Carne" and a "Cerveza." It cost me less than 8$ CAD and I was not able to eat and drink everything, which means the price is very good. The only down point would be that it was a bit loud and I was not there at the busiest time of the day. You need to go to the Lido Bar. Great experience.

  • 4/5 Matthew L. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place for breakfast. They open pretty early as well. I liked the place a lot walking in it looks clean and spacious and bright. Pretty safe as well with security staff inside the café. Was recommended to come this place to try out the local Paraguayan food so I saw there was the Chipa Guasu and I ordered it. It was good don't get me wrong but the portion was really too big for me to finish for breakfast. Service was a little slow though took me quite long to get my tea served, though I was expecting it to be served before the Chipa Guasu but only after I finished what I could and was there waiting then they started preparing it. Not sure if they forgot about it. Quite a variety of food available wanted to come back but too many other places to try. Not bad and recommended.

  • 4/5 Anthony B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great, the atmosphere was fantastic, urban mixed with traditional Paraguayan food, but the service was just ok. They were slow and moved around a lot without paying attention to detail.

  • 5/5 Mario D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Paraguay food! I recommend coming here with a Paraguayan friend if you don't speak Spanish or Guarani. I could never decypher the names of the dishes on my own. A very local experience!

    (Translated by Google) I had a very bad time at the Lido, it is not the same as before, very bad attention, I waited a long time for them to attend me, I made the order, I waited even longer for them to bring it to me, I wanted to ask for more but they no longer paid attention to me, I paid the account because I am not going to leave without paying, although I would have easily done it since they did not pay attention to me ... the clients leave to be well attended, we are going to eat to enjoy and above all to pay the bill, nothing is cheap and much less free, and it is not our fault that employees are overworked, or that they are tired, or much less that they have particular problems and come to finish for us ... a shame (Original) Pase muy mal en el Lido, ya no es lo de antes, muy mala atención, espere muchísimo para que me atiendan, hice el pedido, espere aun más para que me lo traigan, quise pedir más pero ya no me hicieron caso, pague la cuenta por que no soy de irme sin pagar, aunque fácilmente lo hubiera hecho ya que no me hacían caso...los clientes nos vamos para ser bien atendidos, nos vamos a comer a disfrutar y por sobre todo a pagar la cuenta, nada es barato ni mucho menos gratis, y no tenemos la culpa de que los empleados estén sobrecargados de trabajo, o de que estén cansados, o mucho menos que tengan problemas particulares y vengan a rematar por nosotros...una pena
