El Huerto

Top choice in Sucre


Set in a lovely secluded garden, El Huerto has the atmosphere of a classy lawn party, with sunshades and grass underfoot. There’s great service and stylishly presented traditional plates (especially the chorizo) that don’t come much better anywhere in the country. Other specialties are the prawns, Peruvian- and Bolivian-caught fish and chateaubriand, plus an excellent wine selection.
