The Best Restaurant in Sucre, Southern Bolivia

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Sucre’s sophisticated hotel offerings have led to a similar step up from local restaurants. There are options ranging from superb granny-style Italian to beefy Argentine steaks, hearty vegetarian options, and even modern Bolivian cuisine. Don’t get caught up and miss the basics, though. The juices in the local market are spectacular, and Sucre’s salteñas (Bolivian baked empanadas) are among the country’s best. If you’re not a fan of spicy food, avoid dishes prefaced with the words ají (pepper) or picante (spicy).

Abis Patio

$$

A more relaxed version of Abis Café on the plaza, this is the city’s go-to gourmet burger spot, with some fine home-brewed beers to boot. The extremely social and omnipresent owner doesn’t stop there though. He blows the socks off guests with his barbecue ribs and chocolate milk shakes. There is happiness for the whole family to be had here, and the bill at the end will be a pleasant surprise, considering the high-quality ingredients used throughout. The patio out back is the best place to while away a couple of hours with high-speed Wi-Fi and one of those beers.
