I really enjoyed the pineapple, strawberry, blackberry and yogurt smoothie, I also order the croissant with Nutella, this was bad, way over cooked and hardly edible. The waiter/chef was lovely

A small Tiki-Shack setting at the top of Santander and Calle Principal. The Curry Chicken and Vegetarian sandwiches are very tasty and filling. Freshly made, the owner clearly is proud of the quality of his fare. We certainly appreciated the new options. There are always drink prices, and delivery is available direct to your hotel/address for only the Q5 cost of the tuk tuk that delivers it.
8. Restaurante El Cisne
El Cisne is a restaurant that serves delicious typical Guatemalan cuisine at half the price, a third of the noise, and all the flavor of restaurants in Panajachel.

A very clean restaurant with a surprisingly big menu. They served me breakfast even though it was afternoon, which was super nice. I had Divorced Eggs. My dining partner was super excited to see breaded shrimp on the menu, and she said they were delicious! We sat outside on the covered patio. It was very nice but the traffic was noisy. We will definitely go back to try more of their yummy food!Thank you, it is a pleasure to serve you.you will always be welcome at Lake Atitlan

7. Kaalpul Artesanal Ales
Pana's first craft brewery location, serving in-house beers made on-site. Enjoy by the pint, flight, or take some home in a growler. Enjoy with fresh popcorn, or order food from our cafe down the street or just bring your own from one of the many close-by

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.

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.

I ate here once for breakfast and once for dinner. Breakfast was pretty standard. They offered the usual- eggs, beans, oatmeal, pancakes. It was fine.For dinner, they were able to accommodate our large group with a reservation. The service was great! They have an okay menu. I got the pepian, which was delicious! Everyone else enjoyed their food, too. There isn't anything too unique on their menu, but it's a solid choice for dinner.They do not serve any alcohol.

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.

Had a good night out at Pana Rock as we enjoyed the live music and happy hour drinks. Ended up having breakfast here the day after (needed quick wifi) and that was rather disappointing. Took a long time and food itself was only so so. Conclusion; great for a night out but eat somewhere else.

We ate here for dinner and the food was delicious and service was great! They have live music some nights. We all enjoyed our steaks and they have a delicious chimichurri sauce. The prices are reasonable.
