Filet was good not the best I’ve ever had though. Soup with cilantro was great. They brought that out as a starter along with salsa but no chips to go with it. Service was extremely slow. Waiter was nice but couldn’t ever find him. The atmosphere was excellent and worth the wait. Trees in the middle of the restaurant along with a live band. (Thursday evening).

Restaurante Casa Santo Domingo

Reviewed By FdK_traveler - Houston, Texas

If you find yourself in Antigua come visit this restaurant for Sunday brunch. Service is outstanding, we always had someone next to us asking if we were ok. When you come in ask to be seated “outside” by the main hall, you will find yourself surrounded by hanging orchids which grow naturally in this weather...! I suggest to make a reservation so you don’t have to wait to be seated. There are certainly crowds to be battled to get to the very large buffet. You will be pleased with the experience.

Restaurante Las Antorchas

Reviewed By bigmohank - florida

Stopped here for lunch with a work colleague during a day of sight-seeing. Lucky for us it was empty, so no competition from other tables.
Alfredo, our waiter, was polite and attentive. Helpful when necessary, but never overbearing.
We had the garlic calamari and grilled onions for appetizers. Note - the onions are green onions, sorta the mini-leek kind of things. Both were delicious, and very generous portions. The calamari could easily be shared between 2-4 people, and likewise for the onions. We also ordered a side of garlic bread.
We shared one entree for the main course, a steak with beans, guacamole, and rice. We ordered medium-rare, it was closer (in my opinion) to rare, but still very flavorful and very good.
No dessert; I had a glass of rum, which was very nice. Antorchas has a good selection.
Overall we had 2 beers, 1 bottle (.5 liter) sparkling water, 2 appetizers, 1 main course, and a glass of rum. I believe the overall total was in the $55.00 range.
Would definitely visit again! Hankmeister recommended.

I had the duck which was exquisitely prepared, tasty, and accompanied by yummy roasted red grapes. My husband enjoyed the very filling lovely beef Bourgogne. Warm French bread is served. Generous size glasses of wine. An excellent place to eat. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Jean Francois

Reviewed By Chari3

The service here is impeccable, as you'd expect from a restaurant long patronized by the elite. The decor is Antigua-style colonial wiht modern comforts. The food is beautifully prepared. Desserts are limited. Most of the dining is under the arches of the outdoor patio in a beautifully landscaped courtyard.There is more parking than you might think, in a lot off to the side.

Toko Baru

Toko Baru was founded in 2008. The menu is quite eclectic and can be described as pan-Asian and mid eastern. Toko Baru strives to serve a great quality meal for a fair price. Toko Baru has become a staple among locals as well as the expat and traveler community in Antigua. All food is prepared locally and Toko Baru prides itself on some very tasty meals like the Shoarma Kebab- The choice of how to eat the meal lies with the customer- the options are: in a Pita Bread- in a wheat tortilla (as a burrito) or on a plate with Rice.All meals are served with our sauces- a yogurt garlic based sauce, a fruity sauce – and a very hot version of a Sambal sauce (made out of local chilies).

This place was recommended by a friend who has lived in Guatemala for 30+ years as a “must stop” in Antigua for fantastic food at reasonable prices. Plus, it was mentioned in a food blogger’s “Top 10 Antigua Food Spots” and ,ow, I know why.
Menu is great, lots of options. Everything we ordered — the spring roll, chicken tikka masala and pork tico loom were delicious. Beer selection was impressive too. We also heard the fish-n-chips are not to be missed and we believe it.
If you are in the mood for an unpretentious dining experience of delicious food/generous servings, GO HERE. It’s a no brainer.

Luna de Miel

Reviewed By Melinda A - Leonia, New Jersey

Guatemala does not seem like the place to get sweet or savory crepes but this beautiful restaurant has both! And they are delicious.
Had the cheese, ham and caramelized onion crepe with a margarita- awesome choice!
Have also had most of the salads and they are fresh, large and full of ingredients. Great value. Very picturesque roof top venue which fills up fast. Worth standing in line in the evening as the food is fresh and high quality. The line streams past the crepe makers making your mouth water.

Lovely evening out on the town in Guatemala. Very good food with Jose's daughters playing the traditional tune-catching Miriamba. Shared appetizer, 2 Gallo beer, 2 white wine, 2 mixed tacos meals, coffee and shared dessert...$53 Canadian. Very reasonable. Live Band to start up after daughters at 8:30pm however we left as tiring day. Highly recommended !
