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.

If you’re not a fan of spicy food, avoid dishes prefaced with the words ají (pepper) or picante (spicy).
More pub than restaurant, Florin is a good choice for a night out if you're looking for a fun crowd and atmosphere. The food is not the main draw, but generally delivers as long as you’re not expecting the very best. The menu is all over the place, jumping from moussaka to pad thai; be sure to try the house craft beers from Ted’s brewery. The service is sluggish at best, and as the evening goes on, you’ll find the place gets very smoky.
