Find out what Guatemalan restaurants to try in Panajachel. Panajachel (Spanish pronunciation: [panaxaˈtʃel], Pana) is a town in the southwestern Guatemalan Highlands, less than 90 miles from Guatemala City, in the department of Sololá. It serves as the administrative centre for the surrounding municipality of the same name. The elevation is 1,597 metres (5,240 ft).

My family and I had lunch at Paris Paris while in Panajachel and had a very nice experience. The service was great and the fish and beef dishes were excellent. In addition, the asparagus soup was excellent!

Alex and Melvin were phenomenal to us during our visit. These two young employees from Pana specifically fired up the popcorn machine for us, provided samples (including a chocolate coffee flavour that Alex had thought up), and eagerly told us all about the 9-month-old brewery. The beer was great and so was the company.

Parrillada Santander

Reviewed By tsmada

We were 10 for lunch. Three of us arrived early and asked if they could put together tables for 10 or 12. No problem. While waiting we enjoyed big liquados (fresh fruit drinks--melon, strawberry, and banana). The others were delayed so we ordered and enjoyed main courses that included rice with vegetables and fresh, steamed veggies as sides--plus excellent guacamole. Each dinner was 35 Quetzales or about US$5.00. The total bill for 10 people was $70--including drinks. We will definitely return the next time we are in Panajachel.

Situated at the end of the main drag. Very quiet on a Sunday night. We had pizzas, fish and chips and burgers, which were all pretty good quality but more expensive than other places we had tried. None if the cheapest beer options available. Overall average, nothing special.

El Ultimo Refugio

Reviewed By JoeNotTheDog

This was one of my first breakfasts in Pana. On a street about half down between Calle Santader and Rancho Grande, it is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Santander. The traditional ("tipico") guatemalan breakfast was hot, perfect sized, eggs cooked as ordered, fresh fruit sides, and good coffee and juice all for an amazingly low price. Service was fast and nice. I could have hung out here at the patio all day. A must-return location.

I went to Hotel Atitlan for drinks and dinner. The bartender was attentive and the drink menu is extensive. The dinner menu consists of Guatemalan and international dishes, so travelers from all over should be able to find something suitable to eat. Wonderful dessert menu to top it all off! Guatemala is not known for its cuisine, but this restaurant makes up for it with top-notch service, a beautiful view, nice ambiance, and a good selection.

Deli Llama De Fuego

Reviewed By andrewasroma

This restaurant is not cheap compared to other option on the main street in Pana, however, the quality they offer is superb and overall it is a good value for money and an exquisite alternative to barbecue meat which you cannot eat every day I guess. Very good also for breakfast. Try it, you won’t be disappointed. Service is also very good and attentive.

Deli Jasmin

Great breakfast place, popular with foreign travelers and expat residents. Lovely garden setting.

Reviewed By joesalva1990

Went here because it was #1 on Trip Advisor. So either all the restaurants in Pana are crap or only crazy people have left reviews. I’m hoping for the latter as I quest for a decent restaurant in Pana. There are two Jasmin Delis, we were directed to the one further up the road when the one closest to the lake was too full. The food was just OK, that’s all I can say. The menu didn’t look great, none of the pics looked that appetising. Maybe the one closer to the lake is better...
