A
Restaurante Lai-Lai
This Chinese restaurant is housed somewhat improbably in a beautiful converted colonial mansion, with azulejo (painted tile) floors and an inner courtyard with filtered sunlight from above. The food is a step up from similar restaurants - not exactly refined, but quite tasty. The 'personal menus' come with three different items and a tall glass of soda, and there are of course the mongo 'family' plates typical of many Chinese restaurants.
Service is uneven, but at least the building will occupy your eyes while you wait.

Café Paradiso
Coffeehouse lingerers will like this coffeehouse/gallery near El Arbolito, one of the coolest spots in the downtown area. Order international food - ham and cheese croissant, yogurt cup with granola, small salads - and check out the goings-on at the extensive bulletin board in front. Artsy, mostly English-language movies are shown Tuesdays; Thursdays are for poetry readings or other live cultural performances. High-speed Internet is also available.

Tre Fratelli
A blast of cool air and a huge mural of San Francisco welcome guests to this popular and reasonably-priced Palmira restaurant. It's a chain, yes, but one serving reliable Italian food. The long list of pasta includes seafood lasagna and fettuccini inferno, made with spicy shrimp and chicken sausage. There are also several main dishes - meat and fish mostly - and pizza. A spacious outdoor patio is nice when it's not too hot.

Café la Milonga
This terrific Argentinean grill has much more than just meat – and is much more than just a restaurant, for that matter. The extensive lunch and dinner menu includes sandwiches (several veggie options available), thick wedges of quiche (spinach, eggplant, broccoli, Lorraine), empanadas (chicken, beef or spinach) and of course excellent cuts of meat, in 8oz or 12oz portions that are melt-in-your-mouth tender.

E
Restaurant Aiwa
A huge marquee–like sign and swinging glass doors make it easy to mistake Aiwa for a movie theater; inside, the air-cooled dining room has gleaming tables and floors, and waiters zipping around with huge plates of chop suey, chow mein and more. Portions are enormous – a regular plate serves two, a family plate serves four or more.

Taco Loco
A cheap option in a high-price neighborhood, this crazy little taco shop (it has a hot-dog logo but tacos on the menu) offers up flour or corn tortillas, and a choice of beef, pork or chicken filling. An order of cebollas lloronas (grilled, literally ‘cry baby, ’ onions) is worth the extra few lemps.

Rincón Mexicano
This ‘Mexican corner’ is indeed a quiet little place where you can escape the noise and exhaust of Av Colón traffic. The menu has all the usual suspects: tacos, mole, tortas (even ‘drowned tortas, ’ a specialty of Guadalajara), plus American variations including fajitas and burritos.

Food Stands
At lunch, the food stands in front of Iglesia Los Dolores fill the air with the smoke, sounds and smells of sizzling meats, and people ordering, eating and talking. There's a little of everything here - pupusas, baleadas, soups and, of course, grilled beef and chicken. A must-do if you like street food.

Nobu
NoBu A slice of Eastern Zen in the heart of western Tegucigalpa, this place is certainly an indulgence for most. But the authentic sushi, Thai and mixed-Asian cuisine is well worth it. The best spots are in the back garden, where open-air views reveal a city of light and quiet.

Café Honoré
More than L$100 is a lot for a sandwich, but this may be the only place in Honduras to get the real deal instead of processed ham and Wonder bread. Sandwiches come with combinations of salami, roast beef, prosciutto, roast peppers, mozzarella cheese and more.

Charlotte’s Bistro Café
Charlotte blends Asian, French and a few Honduran faves to create a unique global fusion. There’s inside seating, but it’s nicer to sit in the outside garden. You’ll feel miles away from the din and detritus of Tegucigalpa.

La Terraza de Don Pepe
A popular 2nd-floor eatery, La Terraza has good platos del día (daily specials) and live crooning most evenings. Tables on the small terrace, or just inside, overlook the busy street and catch nice natural light.

Merendero El Buen Gusto
A true Honduran greasy spoon behind the Cathedral, packed with workers of all stripes. Counter-seating only, with quick unceremonious service; food ranges from fried chicken to beef stew and not much further.
