Guidebook for Antigua Guatemala
Food Scene
Our favorite! Very few restaurants offer such a unique experience. Where locals and tourists meet.
A cozy upstairs table with a bottle of wine and a shrimp cobanero or cheesy eggplant number is hard to beat. Make a reservation or come early as its hard to get one of their few tables. Not ideal for big groups.

One of the most beautiful settings for dinner – imagine the french catacombs surrounded by candles. On the expensive side but the atmosphere makes it worth it!
International cuisine. The menu, the ambience of the restaurant, the high quality attention of their personnel, everything is taking care of to the smallest detail.

Hector’s features largely in our date night rotation. It has the best pizza in town and we can’t stop eating the roasted tomato or portobello mushroom appetizers. It share’s a garden with Deposito, so you also get a pretty happening vibe.
6ta calle poniente. Between 6th and 7th street.

A French creperie that you cannot miss. For lunch, dinner or an afternoon coffee, Luna de Miel will surprise you. The terrace is always recommended with beautiful views to the volcanoes.

Vintage clothes and delicious food combine in this relatively new restaurant to Antigua’s scene. Chef Rodrigo puts out an ever evolving mix of dishes, often with Guatemalan influences, almost everything is delicious. The setting is decidedly hipster.

This is the most popular breakfast joint among locals. A traditional Guatemalan breakfast would have eggs, plantains with cheese or cream and black beans. This spot has many variations of this classic combination and also makes a variety of croissants to eat there or take to go.
