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!
9. 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.

The idea behind Atlantis was to offer something totally different, a little more bohemian and dynamic, with a beautiful garden, where you can enjoy nature everyday in a fresh and comfortable environment. At night, when the lights are turned on, the atmosp

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.

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.

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 wonât be disappointed. Service is also very good and attentive.

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. Iâm 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, thatâs all I can say. The menu didnât look great, none of the pics looked that appetising. Maybe the one closer to the lake is better...
