Where to eat in Sucre

1. Eat

   Cafe Monterosso

   A hidden gem, and the best Italian restaurant in town. Almost pathologically averse to advertising (the signage is a 30-cm plaque next to the front door, which is kept closed - ring the bell), but nevertheless very popular among those in the know. Roberto is an exceptionally friendly host, and the food is delicious and inventive. It's a good idea to book a table, as the place fills up quickly.

   Mon-Sat 19:00-22:00·Bs. 35

2. Eat

   Condor Cafe

   Good selection of food and drinks (including specialties like stuffed potato and quinoa beer), middle-priced, very nice atmosphere. Local tourism agency Condor Trekkers works from there, so you can meet the guys (very friendly) and discuss with them different options for exploring Sucre surroundings.

3. Eat

   El Germen

   Serves a fusion of delicious Bolivian and German cooking. All lunch specials (Bs.20) are vegetarian, but you can order meat dishes from the menu (menu dishes take a lot longer to come). Also has great desserts. The restaurant fills up quickly for lunch, so arrive early.

4. Eat

   Florin

   Serves a mix of Bolivian and international dishes, including shwarma, Thai and an Indonesian feast for two (or more). Great coffee, fantastic krocetten and good fast WiFi. Also doubles as a bar with live music. Cosy and great atmosphere, though it's reputed by some locals as the source of a few food poisoning cases. Nightly happy hour from 17:30 to 22:30 offers two-for-one drinks and a regular crowd. Has thumping events from time to time. Particularly popular with locals and the resident gringo population.

5. Eat

   La Taverna

   In the courtyard of the Alliance Francaise. Good French inspired food but using local ingredients and wine. Good continental breakfast at Bs. 20, but the place was rarely found open in the morning. Set menu for Bs. 45, from 12:00-15:00.

    Decent Chinese food (by Bolivian standards); popular with both locals and tourists. No vegetarian options, but if you're lucky and/or charming enough, they can sometimes be persuaded to throw something together. Advertises delivery, but in practice refuses to deliver.
