San Salvador Department, El Salvador Food Guide: 10 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in San Salvador

September 28, 2019 Diedre Savory

Find out what European restaurants to try in San Salvador. El Salvador's capital, San Salvador, is a modern city of wide boulevards and narrow streets, outdoor markets, government buildings, high-rises, monuments, an exuberant nightlife, museums and other cultural institutions. And all set against the backdrop of San Salvador volcano. The city is surrounded by shantytowns as well as affluent suburbs with restaurants and large shopping malls. Peaceful settings such as the botanic garden of Parque Cuscutlan provide a break from the city's hectic pace.

Ristorante Pasquale

Reviewed By foodadvisorca

This a pretty nice, trendy, mid range restaurant with great food that it starts with salads, pizzas (must try), pastas, etc. In my last time in this great restaurant I ordered a Spaghetti al Pescatore which is a combination of sea flavors that melt in your mouth as soon as you have the first try, combine it with mozzarella cheese and if you like hot sauce ask for the home made is really good.

This restaurant has 2 locations and La Gran Via is probably the best one. They have a great selection for lunch at reasonable prices. Just ask for the executive lunches menu. Good music and great service in both locations. You also have to try their pizzas! A nice place if you're looking for a good diner.

Reviewed By MTManToo

From beginning to end, this was a great experience! We were seated quickly, and the waiter was attentive from the start. Drinks were delivered quickly, and we had no appetizers.We had a wide selection of entrees, from pasta to shrimp, to the fish special. All would be considered excellent - my favorite would have been the tempura shrimp. The pasta stuffed with tuna and topped with bachamel sauce sounded a bit odd, but was fantastic and is highly recommended.Dessert was the flames pineapple - which was both impressive and tasty.Overall, service and food quality was superb.

The Italian menu is outstanding. I recommend the lemon risotto with salmon and the canolis for dessert. The herbs were fresh and Oscar, chef owner, was there all the time making sure all was done to perfection. The food was served beautifully and the service was just as great. It’s a great little place for visiting and to take a long break. Totally worth it! My first choice in San Salvador. Ask to meet the Chef and his staff. They’re a delightful and well bonded team. It’s a pleasure to watch how they care for each other and their customers.

We live very close to Delikat in San B and really love the brunch menu but the last few times we have waited more than 45 minutes to be served. Last week the place was NOT too busy, with many empty tables yet we sat, and sat, and finally got a couple of the beverages, (not all of them at one time? Had to wait more for the rest) and then after 45 minutes (or more) the food came. We were famished! We love the atmosphere and they do have great pizza too, but we will hesitate to return for awhile because of this. :(Dear Travelingnomad16Thank you for sharing your opinion on the TripA. I am terribly sorry for your bad experience during that brunch. As you may know, we prepare everything from scratch and it takes time. Even more when the place is quite busy. As you tell me that it was not so, we are definitely doing something wrong ! I will revise our procedures so we can make sure that our clients wait the less amount of time once seated. I hope you will give us another chanceHave a nice daySincerely yoursGT

il Bongustaio

Reviewed By PeterBruceG

We were lucky to get a table at the last minute. It was Prix Fixe menu. As most restaurants are on special event nights. It was my first time and my expectations were high. Unfortunately they were not met. I think I would’ve been better going on a night when they weren’t busy and I could have ordered off of the regular menu.The carpaccio salad was good but the Burratta was missing seasoning. Our pastas were both mediocre. Lacking flavour and a little overcooked. We both had the meat and mushrooms entrée at the end and it was very salty. Our dessert was a brownie with gelato. Neither of us finished it as it was a little dry. I am hoping when I return the food is better. And I also found the service a little rushed towards the end.

Well located, at the heart of San Benito neighbourhood, San Salvador, the "La Gastroteca" restaurant was a very nice surprise: small restaurant, part of Clarion Suites, in front of a very busy boulevard, offering a nice terrace and cosy interior.The best of it, its amazing food. It has an International menu based on creative and delicious dishes with elegant presentation. Though a bit pricey, it's worth it.Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience at our establishment. We are glad you enjoyed the food and service, and hope to welcome you back in the near future. Regards,F.A.

Went with colleagues for dinner. Ordered the steak in red wine sauce. Steak was cooked to order and accompanied by vegetables. Live music was playing at the entrance. Great ambiance. The spicy sauce for the bread was really good! Drizzled olive oil on your plate and add the spicy sauce then soak it up with the bread, muy delicioso!
