Guatemalan restaurants in Antigua

  1. A

    Monoloco

    An old-time tourist hangout (take that as a recommendation or a warning), this place serves up a good blend of comfort foods and local dishes, as well as ice-cold beers in a relaxed environment.

    La Fonda de la Calle Real

    This restaurant with three spacious branches, all in appealing colonial style, has a good, varied menu ranging from generous salads and sandwiches to grilled meats. The specialty caldo real, a hearty chicken soup, makes a good meal. This branch is the most attractive of the three, with several rooms and patios. Other branches are located at 5a Av Norte 5 and 5a Av Norte 12. The 5a Av Norte 12 branch is a little cheaper than the others.

    La Peña de Sol Latino

    With good, cheap and innovative food and free live music nightly, this little indoor-outdoor place is fast becoming one of the hottest bar-restaurants in town. Get there early for a good table.

    Cuevita de las Urquizas

    Sumptuous tipico food is the draw here, all kept warming in earthenware pots out front - a very dirty trick as the smells wafting out are impossible to go past. Hugely popular with locals, it's worth getting here early to avoid waiting for a table.

    El Sereno

    Another of Antigua's beautiful courtyard restaurants, this one offers a careful blend of Asian, Italian and Guatemalan influences. There's a full bar inside, but outside is the place to be for lunch, under the shade of two big trees.

    Jardín Bavaria

    This is a bar-restaurant with a verdant patio and spacious roof terrace, offering a mixed Guatemalan-German menu including buffalo steak and suckling pig. There's a good range of beers and the Sunday buffet lunches are tasty.

    Restaurante Don Rodrigo

    The food's up to scratch here - lots of meat and seafood with light Guatemalan twists. The real draw is the setting, a gorgeous courtyard with plenty of wrought iron, blossoming flowers and tinkling fountains.

    Welten

    Despite some very snooty service, this is an enjoyable restaurant, lovingly decorated and serving up some of Antigua's more imaginative dishes.

    Doña María Gordillo Dulces Típicos

    This shop is filled with traditional Guatemalan sweets, and there's often a crowd of Antigüeños lined up to buy them.
