Lonely Planet review for 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.

    Most recommendable

    mauz1 recommends this,

    From the start, a very polite man at the door on the party nights will greet you upon arrival and hail a safe cab on departure.
    A casual atmosphere and design make the place warm and cozy, a very cool bar, comfortable tables all , or the patio on sunny days and party nights is a great layout.
    The international menu, has no rival in town, precisely and abundantly prepared dishes, with a wide range from mexican, italian, european, us, and bolivia, all a real treat, tasty, fresh and at unbeatable prices.
    My wife and i started our 7 day stay in sucre here by chance, and had a hard time leaving, we had lunch and supper here almost every day, and we also came back for the friendly staff, great music selection, and the coffee

    2 constructive opinions, i think the staff should not smoke inside, and the dj could hold back on the poor (as in poorly conceived) argentinian cumbia, it takes points away from such a wonderful place.

    Breakfast & Evening meals - delicious

    debstheleo recommends this,

    We ate here quite a few times. We stayed next door, but had a lovely breakfast here quite a few mornings. We also had 4 evening meals here and all were delicious.

    Friday nights are very busy when the courtyard area is turned into a nightclub.

    100% sure we got diarrhea & stomach cramps from here twice

    inblueseas does not recommend this,

    Let me preface this by saying I do not like to throw around the claim that a restaurant made me sick without knowing 100% for sure. We ate here twice this week. The first time, we both had diarrhea, (we ate the pad thai and tandoori chicken) but we also ate other meals that day. I had nothing to prove it was Florin's fault.

    Well yesterday, I can honestly say that Florin was the only meal we ate apart from some bread in the morning. I had the pad thai, and my Husband had a goat cheese sandwich. Last night was terrible. My Husband got no sleep and was up and down the whole night with terrible pains and diarrhea. I was a little better off than him, but i'm still suffering.

    We live in Bolivia, so I know this is not just a case of the weak gringo stomach. Let me tell you why I think we got sick. I saw one of the girl cooks in the bathroom for a very long time. I was actually waiting to use it. I came in right after her, used the bathroom, and tried to wash my hands. There was NO water coming from the sink. NOTHING. I had soap all over my hands and no water to wash it off. This also meant that the girl cooking my food had no way to wash the excrement germs off her hands either. I am hoping these girls are trained and she went to wash off her hands for real in the kitchen after, but all I know is what I saw.

    Apart from this experience, the servers are nice, and we got our curry/goat cheese fix for a little while. I really liked the food, but I know I can never come back. There are many clean restaurants in Sucre, and I really hope this restaurant steps up to the plate with making their conditions more sanitary. Perhaps we caught them on an off week, and maybe the faucet is fixed by now, but I felt responsible to let you all know about our experience.
