In this guide
Most of Lambaré's restaurants sit along two roads: Avenida Cacique Lambaré, the city's main commercial corridor, and Avenida Luis María Argaña, where many new places have opened over the last decade (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). Pick the occasion first (quick lunch, dinner with friends, family outing), then the area, because traffic and parking change a lot depending on where you go. Lambaré borders Asunción, so it is an easy hop from the capital.
Avenida Cacique Lambaré: malls, food courts and a restobar
This is the busiest avenue, lined with banks, supermarkets and shopping centres (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). For eating out it works best when you want easy parking and several options in one place:
- Shopping Century Plaza: has food outlets and parking for 250 cars, 130 of them covered (La Nación (opens in a new tab)). A good pick on rainy or very hot days.
- Paseo Cerro Alto: a small shopping arcade on the same avenue (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab), Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)), handy for a quick meal with kids.
- Strike Bowling: opposite Paseo Cerro Alto (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)), a restobar with 20 bowling lanes, its own kitchen and two bars (Infonegocios, 2021 (opens in a new tab)). In October 2026 it opened Tuesday to Sunday, 16:00 to midnight (Instagram (opens in a new tab)). Good for birthdays or group nights; book a lane if you are a big group.
Watch out for rain: the municipality has asked people to avoid several Cacique Lambaré junctions during heavy downpours, including Río Apa, Humaitá, Héroes del 70 and Juan Bautista Rivarola (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)). In a storm, choose somewhere with covered parking or wait for the water to drain.
Avenida Luis María Argaña: the newer spots
This is the other key artery of Lambaré's commercial growth, with a boom in new premises in recent years (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). If you want something other than the malls on Cacique Lambaré, browse it on the map and filter by recent reviews. It also has junctions the municipality flags during heavy rain, such as Argaña and Purificación (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)).
The Yacht area: hotel restaurants
If you are looking for a hotel restaurant in Lambaré, the reference is the Yacht y Golf Club Paraguayo, a resort hotel with sports courts and a private beach on the Paraguay River (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)) and one of the city's best-known businesses (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). Its accommodation listing mentions restaurants and poolside bars (Hotels.com (opens in a new tab)). Call ahead to ask whether non-guests can dine and whether you need a booking.
Costanera Sur and Cerro Lambaré: eating outdoors
The Costanera Sur runs 8.1 km from Avenida Colón in Asunción to Cerro Lambaré, with wide pavements, a bike lane and a linear park of about 1,000 metres with 13 food outlets, playgrounds, sand volleyball courts and an amphitheatre (Última Hora, 2024 (opens in a new tab)). It is a plan for a riverside sunset with a snack rather than a long dinner. Go in daylight and bring insect repellent in summer.
How to choose without wasting the evening
- Traffic: Avenida Defensores del Chaco, which links Lambaré with Villa Elisa, sees long jams (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). At rush hour, allow extra time or pick somewhere on your side of town.
- Book on Fridays and Saturdays, especially for groups of six or more. On WhatsApp, give the number of people and arrival time.
- Payment: QR is now Paraguay's most used electronic payment, with 68.1% of electronic payments processed by Bancard in April 2026 (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)). Still ask whether a small place takes cards.
- With kids: malls and arcades give you toilets, parking and simple options in one place.
- Outdoor tables: on humid or mosquito-heavy nights, ask whether there is an air-conditioned indoor room.
