2 Best Restaurants 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).

Café Gourmet Mirador

$$

The best views in the city belong to this little café just below the Recoleta mirador. Stop in for a cold beer or sandwich to help you while away an hour or so while taking it all in. Surprisingly, the prices aren’t much higher than any other place in the city, but the Mirador doesn’t quite escape the curse of unfulfilled potential. The tables outside and the garden could use a little more TLC, and the service is not stellar. The menu is average, but the pastas and sandwiches are decent. Inside, there is Wi-Fi and a little counter by the window with board games, perfect for a bottle of wine and a sunset (closes at 7:30 pm).

La Patisserie

$$

If you need a coffee break after a long day visiting museums, this is the perfect spot. Sweet crepes or cakes are finely done by the French owner, and the coffee is well made. Best of all, it's just half a block from the central plaza.
