  • 1. Achiote

    $$

    A broad menu features comida típica as well as familiar plates, so you can order a tasty hamburger (with optional whiskey sauce) or pollo al achiote, chicken spiced with the red, red pre-Colombian herb. The atmosphere is tasteful and relaxing, so you won't even miss the lake, which is a couple of blocks away.

    Av. Reformes, Flores, Petén, Guatemala
    7867--5176

    Known For

    • Lovely ambience
    • Delectable dishes
    • Good cocktails and wine list
  • 2. Las Orquideas

    $

    If you've never eaten in an Italian grandfather's kitchen overlooking a beautiful lake here's your chance. This unfussy outdoor spot has a nice selection of pasta cooked to order in the open kitchen. They bake up homemade bread for the bruschetta, and the pizza is a treat with a glass of wine or a frosty Gallo. It's worth the drive after Tikal. 

    Lakeshore Rd., El Remate, Petén, Guatemala
    5819--7232

    Known For

    • Italo-Maya pasta: a homemade tagliatelle with your choice of sauce
    • Homey atmosphere
    • Great pizza
  • 3. Maple & Tocino

    $

    This cozy eatery has tasty brunch all day, with items like: shakshuka eggs, Flores skillet with egg, avocado, beans, and mushrooms, or chicken and waffles. Don't miss the famous milkshake: three scoops of vanilla ice cream, flavor of your choice (we suggest maple syrup and bacon), topped off with a delectable doughnut. 

    Calle 15 de Septiembre, Flores, Petén, Guatemala
    7842--4207

    Known For

    • Waffles and crepes
    • Frappuccinos and other coffee drinks
    • Doughnuts
  • 4. Raíces Bar and Grill

    $

    Grilled meats come piping hot off the parrilla (grill) and give this palapa restaurant swagger. Tacos with practically an artist's palette of sauces are also popular, and the steamed fish is excellent. Raíces is built over the water, so with friends, a margarita in hand, and the lake framing it all, you'll have a good time. You can also take a boat ride from the restaurant out to Raíces Del Lago for a special dining experience from another vantage point on the lake.

    Flores, Petén, Guatemala
    7867--5743

    Known For

    • Great location overlooking the lake
    • Tacos
    • Happy hour
  • 5. Terrazzo

    $$

    This terrace is so lovely and the Italian food so rich that the lake will seem swapped for the Mediterranean in a delicious sleight of hand. The best plates are the bowls of house-made pasta slick with olive oil and dense with shrimp, bacon, tomatoes, squash, basil, or whatever tops your dish of choice. Burgers, steak, and interesting pizzas are also on the menu. The avocado salad is a little wedding cake of vegetables; beautiful. Plus, if you've been jonesing for that clementine San Pelligrino, Il Terrazo's got you covered.

    Calle la Union, Flores, Petén, Guatemala
    7867--5479

    Known For

    • Must-try avocado salad
    • Killer sunset views
    • Homemade pasta
