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).

Condor Café

$ Fodor's Choice

Hanging out in Condor Café is a little like getting a big hug from a stranger: the vibe is chilled and smiley, and the food is delicious and abundant. Order a tucumana, a hand-size meat-and-vegetable-filled pastry that comes with a fresh, crispy green salad and some punchy salsas. The breakfast options are healthful, fresh, and homemade, and the lunch menu is one of Sucre’s best bargains. If you're vegetarian, you'll find yourself returning again and again. The café is part of Condor Tours, a 100% nonprofit tour organization that is the best option for exploring the city’s surrounding areas—while helping to support the communities you pass through.
