Cochabamba
Live performance space, cultural center, bar and restaurant all in one; but true to its name, film is the inspiration and movies are shown in a small screening room most nights at 8:30pm. There's also live jazz Wednesdays at 9pm. But it's always a good spot to hang out, and the menu is large and eclectic.
Dishes span the gamut, from tacos to beef stroganoff to pizzas and risotto (mains B$35 to B$65).
