Like Guatemala City, but on a smaller scale, Antigua assembles a mix of regional and international cuisines into its restaurant scene. Few other cities pack such a variety into a 10-block-by-10-block area. A good rule of thumb: more expensive restaurants line the streets east of the city's Parque Central. Less pricey options line those west of the park.
One of Antigua’s most innovative dining spots holds court in a late 19th century home. The menu, which changes seasonally, may include appetizers of black bean soup or a carpaccio of mahimahi and beets. Main courses might include quail with Serrano ham and couscous or lamb chops with a plantain and cheese puree. A dessert selection of soufflés and puddings round out the meal. If you have a group of four to eight people, another option is the pricey, but immensely satisfying nine-course tasting menu, which also changes based on seasonal ingredients—everyone at the table must order it and reservations are a must.
When a menu invites you to “Get drunk with a touch of class,” you know you’ve stumbled on an irreverent restaurant. This lively place manages to pull off a menu that features a wide range of options from fillet of grouper in white wine and lemon sauce to jalapeño mac and cheese. The indoor seating area is small and cramped, but why choose that when you can opt for pleasant dining in the outdoor courtyard by the fountain. Breakfast items include hearty egg dishes, fresh fruit, and pancakes, while lunch offers include burgers, tacos, and lamb sliders.
