Sabalitos Asados, Another Good Restaurant Near the Amazon Golf Course

Fish do not get any fresher than this. They catch them in the lake. Clean them. Cook them. We eat them. Fresh, simple, delicious.

Catch a few more fish, more hungry guests are arriving

As the name implies, this restaurant specializes in Sabalo, a tasty fish, but full of dangerous Y-shaped bones. When the cooks offer a choice, the average tourist will feel more comfortable eating either Palometa, or Gamitana, both delicious and safer to eat because of the bone structure.

Our sabalo meal with platano or tacacho, a heart of palm and avocado salad, and Inca Cola cost $5.50 apiece.

This is what the entrance looks like from the Nauta Road across from the PetroPeru gas station.

My Favorite Restaurant Near the Amazon Golf Course Is La Tullpa

La Tullpa is my favorite restaurant near the Amazon Golf Course

My favorite restaurant near the Amazon Golf Course is La Tullpa, located across from the PetroPeru gas station on the Nauta Road just before you turn on the Zungerococha Road that the Amazon Golf Course is on. It is clean, with soap and paper towels in the restrooms. The decor is attractive, and the food is delicious. I usually order fried palometa with platanos cooked over the coals, or palometa and platanos cooked over the coals. Because La Tullpa is so far from the tourist center, I have not tried the fruit juice or refresca, preferring to play it safe with an Iquiteña beer or an Inca Cola.

Fried Palometa with cocona sauce is one of the most delicious fish in the world

La Tullpa has a S/5 sole menu, but the palometa is huge and costs S/16 to S/18 soles, well worth the extra money.
