Florín
Rapidly turning into the place to be seen in Sucre, this atmospheric bar-restaurant serves a mixture of typical Bolivian food and international dishes, including a ‘Full English’ breakfast. Popular with locals and gringos alike, who line up along the enormous 13m-long bar (surely the biggest in Bolivia?) at night during the two-for-one happy hour.

Trattoria Sant’ Aquilina
A great treat on the way back to La Paz is to stop for an Italian meal at Trattoria Sant’ Aquilina, a Greek island–style restaurant, just before or after Jupapina, depending which direction you are coming from. The restaurant is renowned for its wood-fired pizza and gelato and is popular among the trendy paceñan crowds who converge on a Sunday.

Tropical
This is Riberalta’s most upscale restaurant, leading the residents to nickname it Tropicarísimo (very expensive…). Gargantuan portions of meat, chicken and fish accompanied by salad, rice and fried manioc feed two or three normal-sized people, though the profusion of animal skins and stuffed wildlife hanging off the walls and ceiling might put you off.

Alamos
A green light outside marks this popular saloon-style spot where locals and tourists mingle in the funky two-floor space with a Mexican vibe and lots of knick-knacks. The menu features mainly meat dishes, like pique macho (beef chunks and sausages over french fries with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and spicy locoto peppers), and comes in huge tasty portions.

Tierra Libre
Top-notch dishes from around the globe are served in a bohemian setting at this new place that’s rapidly gained a following among backpackers for its ample and affordable eats. Veggie meals and exotic Indian concoctions are among the treats on offer and you shouldn’t miss the succulent lomito (steak sandwich) or tasty Lake Titicaca trout.

Salón de Té Glamour
So what is so glamorous about a cup of tea you may ask? Well nothing really, but this minimalist, super-clean tearoom does its best to introduce you to the world of flavors that tealike drinks can provide, with herbal infusions, mates, coffees and sticky cakes on offer. Have a quick look at the teapot collection too – bizarre!

Las Bajos
One of the oldest and most typical of the choricerías (restaurant specializing in chorizo) in Sucre, though it’s not just sausage on the menu. The owner is a Beatles fanatic and downstairs is a miniature recreation of Liverpool’s Cavern Club, the walls adorned with posters, album covers and other Fab Four memorabilia.

Las Retamas
One of Oruro’s best restaurants, this rustic spot in a cozy series of rooms with leafy views dishes out international meals and Bolivian specialties such as pacumutu (grilled beef chunks with veggies on a skewer) and silpancho (a thin schnitzel). Their selection of cakes is stellar.

Maderos
If you’re a Mexican food fanatic you’ll have been scouring the continent for a place like this. Top-class burritos and all the rest are served in this palapa roofed hangout. Key to its success is that it gives you the ingredients and lets you fold up your own fajitas.

Tú Pizza
This stylish little eatery on the main plaza has a rustic feel, high ceilings, nice artwork and good service. The food runs the usual gamut of pizzas, pastas and lasagna as well as mains with local goat cheese and quinoa. Try the sweet pizza with chocolate ( and dulce de leche).

Churrasquería la Estancia
Ask anybody in Trinidad where to get a good bit of beef and you will be sent here. With its palm roof and coal fire barbecue hamming up the ranch-house setting, the succulent and juicy cuts will make you wonder how other restaurants even dare to call themselves churrasquerías.

La Chakana
Small and cozy, the long-established Chakana serves reasonably priced breakfasts, sandwiches, vegetarian meals, excellent pizzas, homemade sweets, cocktails and European specialties. There is a ton of information for tourists here, plus a new tour company to help you plan your trips.

Casa del Turista
As interesting for its rickety bamboo structure as for the menu of Italian, Mexican and Bolivian dishes that it serves up. It feels a bit like the House that Jack Built, so be careful on the staircase after indulging in the exotic frozen cocktails during the nightly happy hour.

Italiana
This is perhaps the best of several tourist places in Tupiza that all have an almost identical decor and menu. The food options are wide and varied, from thin-crusted pizzas and pastas to finger food, Chinese choices and breakfasts. Good for a glass of wine, cocktail or beer.

Lorca
Arguably the city center’s trendiest restaurant, bar, theater and general hangout, Lorca play with several world cuisines, and its llama steak, dribbled with a blue-cheese sauce, is top class. If you are feeling more adventurous, try cola de lagarto (alligator tail).

Maminco
Grill restaurant with a rustic quincho (open-air grill) atmosphere, this place specializes in duck, which it has been preparing on the premises since the early 1980s. If you work up a thirst in the process try the juice wagon in front for great-value tropical drinks.

Rinconcito Quilmes
You’ll see few other gringos in this little spot known for cheap filling lunches served in a spacious dining room and a couple of outside tables. It’s popular on weekends for its asados (barbecues) with quality meat from Argentina.

Sudna Wasi
A convivial courtyard set back from the hectic market streets. The home-cooked menu includes hearty breakfasts, a dozen different salads and a few Bolivian specialties. The cutest abuela (grandmother) in the universe is sometimes sighted here.

Confitería Los Helechos
Attached to the Mitru Anexo, this spacious spot offers tasty breakfasts, a salad bar, sandwiches, burgers and vegetarian dishes, as well as refreshing juices. The atmosphere is sedate, apart from the TV blasting, and the service on the slow side.

European cool kids hang out here while chain-smoking, drinking espresso and forking into anything from Thai seafood curries to creative vegetarian fare. Service is slow, but nobody seems to mind.
