The food was plentiful and very good for only 30Q. I had the veggie omelet and it came with additional sauteed veggies and a little bit of beans and toast with jam. Everything tasted "very good". The restaurant opens at 8:00 which is nice, but they were washing the floor with chlorox at 8:15, so everything kind of tasted like the smell of bleach. Lots of flies, but I guess I should expect that with outdoor seating, but, more flies than other outdoor Guatemala restaurants that I have been to. It is a great cause and the school does support good projects. The service was GREAT. I would go again, but later in the day.

We sat at a table overlooking the lake for lunch. Situated right by the boat launches. Sunday all day Happy hour, with Cuba Libras at 10 quetzals for 2.I had a fantastic philly cheese steak (50q although the menu in the road says 40q) loaded with steak, and my wife had a very filling qood quality sandwich with fries for 35q. The overall quality was fantastic, the location a belter and the staff (especially the UK guy) lovely. Very happy overall and would highly recommend.

Don't believe any of their advertising signs out front for happy hour or drunk specials because you're probably being baited. We went here for a beer because they were advertising Victoria beer on a sign right outside their door for 9Q each. No fine print or asterisks or anything. We then go to pay and they were like 14Q each. Not a huge difference, but we were in a budget. We pointed out the error and were told the special was for the smaller Victoria beers, which I had never seen once in my 3 weeks in Guatemala (and after drinking lots of beer there), and which the server here never even offered us. The sign was very misleading. That's the only reason we even stopped there was because of their sign advertising 9Q Victorias. Be very skeptical of any special they advertise and ask many questions.

Conveniently located in the tourist area, a big choice of international dishes. The pasta carbonara was quite good (less than 6$). Itâs a restaurant with mixed local and expat staff, so Spanish and English are both fine. Nice view on the lake from the garden!

Couldnât recommend this restaurant highly enough. Paul was an amazing host. The menu is vast & provides so many options, Paul was happy to help the group of us choose our meals, adapting dishes for our preferences. Great cocktails & delicious guacamole platter to start!!! The food was incredible, steak cooked to perfection, amazing seafood pasta dishes, fresh salmon (amazing mash!) and delicious curry with a huge portion of rice. For such a varied menu, each dish exceeded our expectations. Every âFeâ chain around Atitlan is owned by Paul and having experienced restaurant Fe on San Marcos I would visit another Fe without hesitation. Thanks for a great evening Paul!

You can absolutely count on the Italian brothers, Luca and Marcos, to fix you up a nice casual eating experience in their garden cafe. Aside from the croissants and espresso drinks, they serve a nice selection of European, American, and local Guatemalan breakfasts. They also serve great pastas for lunch. If you go for lunch on Monday, you will likely be entertained by a fabulous samba band. There are different musicians playing on some other days. And....by the way, you can also go to use their computer or printer, and purchase moves and tv shows from their huge library. Very nice locals work here as well. You can also purchase the incredible French bread and pastries to go. Thereâs no reason not to come here if youâre gonna spend any time in San Pedro.
