Anita
Good salteñerías include Anita and the simple, unnamed place at Olañeta 39, opposite the police station.
-
Arco Iris
Follow the rainbow to where a decent attempt (unless you are Swiss) is made of fondues and rösti . There are also simple vegetarian choices, desserts, and often live music and dancing. In truth, the atmosphere is perhaps better than the food.
-
Bibliocafé
With two adjacent locations, this has something for everyone; one side is dark and cozy, the other a little smarter. There's good service, a menu of pasta and Mexican-Bolivian food, and drinks until late in a cheerful and unpretentious atmosphere. There's regular live music.
-
Café Mirador
The café of the Museo de los Niños Tanga-Tanga overlooks a botanical garden that exhibits a range of foliage from around the country. The panoramic views are a sunset treat and worth the hike up the hill, and it's a sweet place to linger over juice, sandwiches, cocktails or the rich desserts.
-
Café Tertulias
Writers, artists and journalists convene at this intimate hangout for chats over coffee, beer or food, which is principally pizza, salads and lasagna. It's a welcoming, quirky spot that also does decent mixed drinks.
-
Chifa New Hong Kong
An expensive Chinese choice, but the best of several in town.
-
Churrasquería Cumaná
A Sucre secret, this carnivore's delight is in the Barrio Petrolero, a cab-ride from the center. The full portions of exquisitely-grilled meat can comfortably feed two; the courtyard is also a pleasant place to drink wine or cocktails. There's great service too.
-
El Germen
This simply decorated, service-with-a-smile spot is a favorite for its tasty vegetarian dishes; they also do decent goulash and roast meat, as well as cracking curries and tempting cakes. There's a book exchange; you might need it, as you can often finish a novel (reading one, not writing one - quite) waiting for your meal.
-
El Huerto
Set in a lovely secluded garden, this is a favorite spot for Sucre's people in the know. It's got the atmosphere of a classy lawn party, with sunshades and grass underfoot; there's great service and stylishly-presented traditional plates that don't come much better anywhere in the country. Sunday lunch is a special treat too.
-
Freya
This likeable place serves up tasty vegetarian lunches to local workers. Get there early for more choice.

Joy Ride Café
A wildly popular gringo-tastic café, restaurant and bar with a bit of everything, from dawn espressos to midnight vodkas, from nightly movies to wild weekend dancing on tables. It's a spacious, well-run spot, albeit with high levels of self-promotion, and boasts decent food (salads, 'hangover eggs', steaks), a book exchange, patio seating, and an cozy upstairs lounge. Look out for the range of imported beers, but also for Ted's homebrews - tasty indeed.
-
Kulturcafé Berlin
This dark and atmospheric spot is affiliated with the Instituto Cultural Boliviano Alemán, and offers German-language newspapers and magazines, a book exchange, and filling dishes; try the papas rellenas (spicy filled potatoes). It's also a fine spot for an evening beer, with some German choices.
-
La Posada Restaurant
This comfortable hotel also has one of Sucre's most appealing spots for a meal or a drink, offering elegant indoor and outdoor seating around its stone-flagged courtyard. There are tasty fish and meat dishes, pastas and salads, various set meals, and good-natured service.
-
La Repizza
Welcoming Bolivian spot with a backyard, and popular for its pizzas, steaks, and good-quality four course almuerzos . It's a popular place for a drink on Friday and Saturday nights too.
-
La Taverne
With a quiet sophisticated atmosphere, the restaurant of the Alliance Française is a delight to visit. The short, select menu has a French touch - tongue with chili and chocolate will appeal to adventurous palates - and there are excellent daily specials - a teriyaki beef went down well at time of research. There's live music every Friday night; films are also screened here several times a week.
-
Locot's
A relaxed, attractive bar-restaurant in an interesting old building, this has original art on the walls and offers a wide choice of Bolivian, Mexican, and international food, including vegetarian choice, and a gringo-friendly vibe. Look out for the cocktails named after Bolivian presidents, and regular live music.
-
Para Ti Chocolates
Thanks to Sucre's status as Bolivia's chocolate capital, there are plenty of shops that cater to sweet tooths. The best is Para Ti Chocolates, where tasty Breick bonbons are only the tip of the iceberg.
-
Pastelería Amanecer
Tucked away in a dead-end alley behind the police station, this petite, four-table, non-profit bakery has delightful homemade goodies, breakfast, coffee and fresh juices. Proceeds benefit local children's projects.
-
Pizza Napolitana
Enjoy US and British tunes over decent pizza and pasta or an ice-cream sundae at this cheerful and popular plaza hangout. The meal deals are good value but drinks and coffee are a bit on the expensive side.
-
Restaurant La Plaza
The mostly meat-based meals are filling and the outdoor balconies are a great place for a beer on a lethargic Sunday afternoon.
