    Jim’s Pizza Copán

    This thatch-roof restaurant serves some of the best pizza around. Choose from a variety of ingredients – pepperoni, ham, sausage, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, olives – and it’s baked before your eyes in the open-air kitchen. A steady stream of clients keeps the place going late.

    La Llama del Bosque

    From the outside, this place looks forgettable. But eat one meal here and you’re likely to remember it for a long time. The menu is extensive and varied with dishes that are delicious, beautifully presented, abundant and cheap.

    Carnitas Nia Lola

    An American bar-and-grill planted firmly on the Honduran mainland, this restaurant feels a bit more upscale than other spots in town and draws an older – we mean ‘more mature’ – crowd.

    ViaVia Café

    A hip boho atmosphere with outdoor and indoor seating; the daily specials are the way to go at this place. Each day the chef takes a crack at various world-food dishes and often pulls them off with flair.

    Churrasqueria Momo’s

    A meat-lover’s haven, Momo’s, one block south of Parque Central, serves beef in four basic styles: pincho (kebab), churrasco (Argentinean-style beef), puya so (a choice cut of steak), and parrillada (a sampler, including sausage, beans and tortillas). There are a few chicken, pork, and shrimp dishes, but you might as well go somewhere else for those. Meals are served in an open-air dining area overlooking the Valle de Copán.

    Tunkul Restaurant & Bar

    You wouldn't expect it from the outside, but the dining area in this longtime restaurant and bar is quite large and, with a leafy interior courtyard, stone floors and wood tables, downright outdoorsy. (Well, almost.) The food is tasty and the portions large, and there are a number of vegetarian options. Drink specials and a lively crowd make this a good bar, too.

    Glifo’s

    A bit stuffy but still considered one of the classiest places to eat in town, this restaurant in Hotel Marina Copán offers a wide selection of fine international dishes. The Honduran specialties with a traditional Maya twist, however, are the way to go. Service is excellent.

    Vamos a Ver

    This cozy little patio restaurant dishes up good food: tasty soups, fruit or vegetable salads, homemade breads, a variety of international cheeses, and lots of teas. Plus, every evening, pretend that you’re back at camp and make your own s’mores over an open fire.

    El Grill

    One of the town's most popular restaurants, El Grill is an open-air eatery serving up Honduran and Mexican dishes. Grilled meats are the focus of the menu; on weekends, consider ordering the lechón asado (grilled piglet) for a change of pace.
