Café Honoré
Five or eight bucks is a lot to drop on a sandwich, but this may be the only place in Honduras to get the real deal instead of processed ham and Wonder bread. Hot and cold sandwiches come with combinations of salami, roast beef, prosciutto, roast peppers, mozzarella cheese and more, with a choice of wheat bread, sourdough, baguette or pita. This is also a gourmet deli, for all your pickle and pâte needs.

Café La Milonga
This terrific Argentinean grill has much more than just meat - and is much more than just a restaurant, for that matter.
-
Café La Plazuela
This casual modern eatery has soups and light meals, and a happy hour from to . A total interior renovation meant the place was closed when we were in town, but the menu and sharp atmosphere should remain the same. It hosts periodic events, like live music performances or important soccer games on TV.

Café Paradiso

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.
-
La Terraza de Don Pepe
A popular second-floor eatery, La Terraza has good platos del día (daily specials) and has live crooning most evenings. Tables on the small terrace, or just inside, overlook the busy street and catch nice natural light. While you're here, take a look at the unusual shrine to the Virgin of Suyapa, whose statue was once abducted from the Basilica de Suyapa; it turned up in the men's restroom.
-
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.

Restaurant Aiwa
Another recommendable Chinese restaurant with a completely different look. A huge marquee-like sign and swinging glass doors make it easy to mistake Aiwa for a movie theatre; 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. As usual, portions are enormous - a regular plate serves two, a family plate four or more. Take-out available.
-
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.
-
Rincón Mexicano
This 'Mexican corner' is indeed a quiet little place where you can escape the noise and exhaust of Av Colón traffic. Small connected dining rooms have just a few cantina-style tables and chairs apiece. The menu has all the usual suspects: tacos, mole, tortas (even 'drowned tortas,' a specialty of Guadalajara), plus American variations like fajitas and burritos. May open late - best for lunch or dinner.
-
Taco Loco
Orange caféteria-style tables stand opposite an open kitchen and grill in this small smoky taco joint. Hefty tacos come with flour or corn tortillas, and choice of beef, pork or chicken filling; an order of cebollas lloronas (grilled, literally 'cry baby', onions) is worth the extra. Delivery available.
-
Todo de Pollo
Todo de Pollo - Everything Made of Chicken - is right. This colorful eatery serves up chicken in every way, shape and form. Eggs are chickens, right? Located next to - and with a side entrance to - the Hotel Plaza Real.
-
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.
