Firstly, I was thrilled to be feeling better after a week-long food poisoning in La Paz. Secondly, just because this city has fantastic restaurants and cuisine, whatever your budget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you like fancy food, you get fantastic value in Bolivia<\/a><\/strong>. I think the meal that cost me \u00a320 at Nativa would have cost well over \u00a3100 in the UK!<\/p>\n Here are my top picks for nice, sit-down restaurants where you can take your time and enjoy a few drinks in ambient surroundings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you have time for just one dinner in Sucre, this is my number one pick. I\u2019m amazed by the value you get with this 9-course tasting menu, served with nearly as many drink pairings.<\/p>\n Mentioned by the World\u2019s 50 Best, I knew Nativa <\/a><\/strong>would be good hence I made it my mission to get a reservation. I went in at 6pm and they told me to return at 9pm which I did. However, I\u2019ve since read that you can WhatsApp them via the number on their Google pin<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s open from 6pm.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure dishes change regularly, but I\u2019ll share what I ate<\/strong> to give you a flavour:<\/p>\n Drinks<\/strong><\/p>\n Everything was delicious and creative. I loved how everything is locally sourced and linked to Bolivia. Even the different alcohols are made here. <\/p>\n Note for solo travellers in Bolivia<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 I didn\u2019t feel awkward dining alone here. In fact, about half the guests were solo travellers! <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This is the other place that offers fancy tasting menus for affordable prices in Sucre. Sadly, I didn\u2019t get to go because they told me they were completely full with no space for walk-ins, and I was leaving town the next day.<\/p>\n Restaurant El Solar<\/strong> <\/a>has an old-fashioned, fancy vibe compared to low-lit, modern Nativa. The price for four courses is just 80 BOB ($12 \/ \u00a38). Unlike Nativa, they\u2019re also open for lunch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This was my second favourite restaurant in Sucre serving pescetarian and vegetarian food. Tierra<\/a><\/strong> mixes Bolivian flavours with global cooking styles to create unusual, creative dishes.<\/p>\n I liked the gnocchi with huancaina, a tasty sauce I also tried in Peru, featuring cheese and chilli. I also tried the fish tacos as a starter. Both dishes were delicious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After spending the previous night on a bus from La Paz, I was craving a treat. Pizza at Muso Vinoteca<\/a><\/strong> was it!<\/p>\n I had a fantastic wood-fired pizza here and upgraded to add a ball of buratta. Although I didn\u2019t try it, wine is the main focus of this venue (as you might guess from the name \u2018vinoteca\u2019). You can order it by the glass or bottle.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re craving a full pizza or just nibbles and wine, this is the best place in Sucre for a sophisticated evening out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here are a few places to grab a quick but tasty lunch in between sightseeing. Also, if you\u2019re on a budget, these places are cheaper than those above\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I think arepas are my all-time favourite South American<\/a><\/strong> food! These stuffed corn pockets are technically from Colombia and Venezuela but there\u2019s no reason not to eat them in Bolivia, too. <\/p>\n The best place to eat arepas and cachapas (a variation) in Sucre is Bienmasabe<\/a><\/strong>. Pick the fillings you want, or choose from the combos. As well as beef and chicken, there\u2019s plenty for vegetarians like my bean, cheese, fried plantain and avocado feast above.<\/p>\n Also on the menu are patacones (slices of fried plantain with toppings), sandwiches and snacks. They also serve a wide range of cocktails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Vegans wanting to try the local Bolivian food shouldn\u2019t miss Ayni<\/a><\/strong>. This vegan restaurant in Sucre serves a mix of faux meats and natural ingredients like fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n I visited at lunch for the 2-course menu del dia featuring sopa de mani (peanut soup, a Bolivian classic) and a typical stew. The fake meats were convincing, and I\u2019m stunned by the effort that must have gone into the fake egg!<\/p>\n The restaurant is worth a visit just to see the incredible decor! Think Alice in Wonderland but with a Bolivian twist, showing local wildlife and plants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You can\u2019t leave Bolivia without trying salte\u00f1as<\/a><\/strong>! These tasty morsels are similar to empanadas. They\u2019re baked and stuffed with ingredients such as beef, chicken and vegetables. <\/p>\n I tried them at Flores<\/a><\/strong>, or there\u2019s the more famous Salte\u00f1eria El Patio <\/a><\/strong>next door, boasting incredible decor. Salte\u00f1eria Mary<\/a><\/strong> on the edge of town also looks legit.<\/p>\n Night street market <\/strong>\u2013 up near the Viewpoint of Recoleta<\/a><\/strong> and the Museum of Indigenous Art<\/a><\/strong> (which I highly recommend, by the way) is a vibey night market. To be transparent, I didn\u2019t eat here but there are countless stalls selling local delicacies, and it\u2019s a fun place whether you buy or browse.<\/p>\n I suggest an afternoon visit to the Indigenous Art Museum, sunset over the city from the mirador, then wandering back to the city centre through the night market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Central Market <\/a><\/strong>\u2013 the large daytime market in the centre of Sucre is another place to experience the food culture, for example by sampling exotic fruits you\u2019ve never seen before. Even though I thought the fruit was fresher in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, you can still buy some tasty things here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019m a coffee addict so you better believe I sniffed out the best places in town\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I first visited Typica Cafe<\/a><\/strong> in La Paz and got hooked on the halloumi buns and apple pie. I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s a fan; the 100 Best Coffee Shops publication<\/a><\/strong> gives them a mention.<\/p>\n I was thrilled when I discovered there\u2019s a Typica cafe in Sucre<\/a><\/strong>, too. They have a beautiful garden with coffee-themed murals and a cosy inside room with retro decor. They\u2019re open \u2019til 9pm.<\/p>\n Expect breakfast dishes, sandwiches, salads, speciality coffee and other drinks including my favourite from Argentina, submarinos (basically a mug of hot milk with a chocolate bar served on the side for you to melt in).<\/p>\n I never made it to Kaffa Bun<\/a><\/strong> because they were always closed when I tried to visit. It may have had something to do with the 200 years of independence celebrations, which were big in Sucre given that the declaration was signed here. <\/p>\n Anyway, they have great reviews so swing by if you\u2019re a coffee snob like moi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is another great coffee shop in Sucre with inside and outside seating. At Me Gusta<\/a><\/strong>, I just had a cortado but I hear good things about the chocolate brownies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n I had my first meal after a 14-hour night bus at Coffee Bike<\/a><\/strong> and I was in NEED.<\/p>\n I opted for the \u2018brunch green avocado\u2019 package deal (60 BOB) including eggs and avocado toast, a matcha latte, yoghurt and orange juice. It was good value but the food wasn\u2019t outstanding. <\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s a stylish restaurant in Sucre with inside and outside seating, and plenty of indulgent drinks and treats on the menu.<\/p>\n Nano <\/a><\/strong>is another cute coffee bar in central Sucre. The coffee and empanadas are great, but my only complaint was that everything was served in takeaway packaging, even to eat in. Hopefully, this changes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The most famous chocolate brand from Bolivia is Para Ti<\/a><\/strong>. You\u2019ll see them around the country in bus stations and airports, but the original cafe is here in Sucre.<\/p>\n There are countless chocolate types to choose from including nuts, salted caramel, fruit flavours and regional ingredients like dried quinoa and amaranth. I suggest trying as many as you can!<\/p>\n I was meaning to try the hot chocolate but didn\u2019t get around to it\u2026 Please do the lord\u2019s work and let me know in the comments how it is!<\/p>\n For the best sunset views in town, you have to visit Caf\u00e9 Mirador San Miguel<\/a><\/strong>. They serve everything from breakfast to coffee and even pizza, but unfortunately, I can\u2019t comment because I just bought some tea so I could sit and enjoy the views.<\/p>\n You order and pay at the bottom, then climb the steep staircase to the bell tower where the staff deliver your order. Visit 30 minutes before sunset to bag a seat!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNice dinner restaurants<\/h2>\n
