Expatriates Bar & Grill
Aptly named, this is a longtime favorite of foreigners living in La Ceiba. The specialty is barbecue chicken wings, but just about everything is grilled and good – ribs, shrimp, chicken breasts, veggies. There’s also a full bar, occasional live music, book exchange, community board, large-screen TV with major sporting events, and high-speed internet.

Pizza Hut
Don’t forget to eulogize Dom DeLuise, who played ‘Pizza The Hutt’ in Mel Brooke’s Spaceballs.

Mango Tango
This breezy restaurant-café-bar is a good place to start any Zona Viva outing: for many, it’s the main destination. Its claim to fame is the well-stocked salad bar, one of the few in Honduras. The rest of the menu is typical north coast and Ceibeño fare – lots of seafood – served fresh at palapa -shaded tables. The bar stays open late, with sport showing on the large TVs.

Chabelita
This Garífuna-style restaurant, at the far end of the Zona Viva, is well worth the walk. Seafood is the specialty – try the hefty fish fillet or Chabelita’s famous sopa marinera (seafood soup). The dining area is unremarkable, but a little patio out the back is perfect for a late-afternoon or evening meal and a cold beer.

Arrecife
Local food buffs and hotel concierges have started calling Arrecife the best restaurant in town. An upscale but understated place 15km east of town, it offers terrific seafood dishes and a good wine list. The only drawback is the location – if you don’t have a car, you may end up paying more in taxi fare than you do for dinner.

Mixers
Cafeteria-style eating is what you’ll get at this locale. Every day a new variety of típico is served – there’s always beans, rice and a vegetable dish though – so you won’t get bored if you eat here more than once. It’s on the 2nd floor of a peach-colored shopping center.

Comidas Royale
Right on Parque Central, this is one of the best buffets in town. Not only is it open all day, every day, but the trays always seem to be brimming with fresh food. Dishes vary by the hour – típico of all sorts is served up alongside Honduran-style chow mein, fried rice, sweet-and-sour chicken, and ribs.

Luna Gaucha
Uruguayan food, with strong influences from Brazil and Argentina, is emerging in many countries as a unique and satisfying cuisine. Luna Gaucha is La Ceiba's first of such restaurants and serves tasty grilled dishes, both individual and traditional family-style platters, in a friendly atmosphere. Good value.

Swiss-German Restaurant
The name says it all. Popular with expatriates, the menu is replete with meat and sausage dishes plus a lion's share of potatoes and cabbage. Try the chuleta ahumada (smoked pork chop) for something a little different. Look for this sunny place a couple blocks south of the stadium.

Mangos
A local smoothie spot, Mangos is a small, yuppyish juice bar in the center of town. Choose from over 35 licuados or make up one of your own. A few tables and air conditioning make this a nice stop on a steamy afternoon.

Pupusería Universitaria
This friendly hole-in-the-wall is immensely popular with tourists and locals alike. It serves – you guessed it – pupusas (stuffed patties) of every shape, size and flavor.

Cafetería Cobel
Always jam-packed with regulars, the Cobel is an institution in La Ceiba. And for good reason – típico is served hot and fast, and it’s a steal.

Ricardo's
Reputed to be one of the finest restaurants in northern Honduras, Ricardo's offers a quiet and classy respite from the hubbub outside. Choose between eating in a comfortable air-conditioned dining room or a leafy garden courtyard. Seafood is the specialty but steak and pasta dishes also are very good. If you like spicy food, the Pescado Ricardo's - broiled fish topped with jalapeño sauce and Parmesan - is divine.
