The restaurant of the hotel offers very good food, in a classic atmosphere. During dinner, there is a really good show - demonstration - of local dances and costumes. Very nice evening

Quiltro

Fine Dining inspired in Guatemala. After years of work in world-renowned restaurants, the Chilean Chef Rodrigo Salvo opens the doors of a new gastronomic proposal "Quiltro" is a first class restaurant in Antigua Guatemala. Each of the dishes is inspired b

Reviewed By Zarquito

The fresh, creative, and memorable dishes at Quiltro are delightfully quixotic, in no small part because of how unexpectedly unique the combinations of otherwise simple flavors were in each dish. The chef and his team masterfully combined typical/traditional Guatemalan ingredients and flavors in a way that tastes simultaneously familiar and exotic. This is not a meal that will blow your tastebuds away; it’s better than that. It’s a meal that’s notable because of its subtleness, extreme attention to detail, thoughtful presentation, and purity of form and flavor. What a delightful find in Antigua!!

We had a really great experience coming to this coffee place, with an explanation about where the coffee comes from and an introduction into the coffee culture with some tasting. I drink coffee daily but haven’t had any coffee like that before. Really great experience and you can also buy some coffee to take home. Would highly recommend coming here.Thank you very much, we are glad and happy you had a great experience¡¡¡

El Refectorio

Reviewed By Chrisunlesley

Without exaggeration one of the finest meals we have had. We spent a week in Antigua which was delightful and had been advised of this restaurant - and its tasting menu.The interior is quite beautiful - steeped in history . We selected the tasting menu with 8 courses for Q315.00. I see that based on the quality of the food as decent value.The dishes included Mozzarella, Cauliflower Humus,Seabass with celery puree,lemon sorbet, pancetta,angus beef,chocolate mousse and baked apples pave. All beautifully, imaginatively cooked. We often think with tasting menus, the chefs try almost too hard to impress or be radical. Not here. Excellent service to accompany stunning food.If you visit Antigua and enjoy fine dining please visitDear Chrisunlesley,Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful compliments for your dining experience at El Refectorio in Casa Santo Domingo. We are delighted you enjoyed your time with us, and especially appreciate your kind words for our team, as well as your high regard for our wine selections. It will be our pleasure to welcome you again the next time you visit La Antigua Guatemala.

Restaurante Las Antorchas

Reviewed By stacman7

Went here with family recently and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Everyone enjoyed their meals except my son who ordered the BBQ ribs. The BBQ sauce is nothing like the States so he didn't like them too much. It was some kind of local sauce, but not traditional BBQ. Other than that, the meats were good and pretty much everything was tasty. My only complaint was that the price was what you would expect in the States, not Guatemala. So, this is probably a hot spot for tourists. Service is pretty good too. Dear Stacman ; thank for you review and for you visit i apreciate you like our food our place and our service ; if you permit i would like to make an aclaration ; you are right the sauce it s not the same than in the U.S beaucause we are in Guatemala and we had our own ingredient and we dont want to copy when you travel normaly you want to taste diferent type of food ; then pricey but GOOD , yes it s pricey beaucause we use good imported product and organic product but it s not a tourist place 70 per cent of our customers are from Guatemala...And please por favor ; s il vous plait last week i was in Boulder Colorado and the price of a Quinoa Salad it s the price of a steak in my place , a pasta it s 2 steaks ; i eat a 8 onz buffalo steak in Denver the cost was 46 us wirhout tip( 18 ; 20 o 25 no choice here it s 10) ; so excuse me but Las Antorchas it a free for you and i pay 7 usd for a broccoli in a super market price of a salad in Las Antorchas...Thank you again for you visit and i m very happy than you and you family envoy the meal...

Reviewed By ClaireandJames

I really liked this restaurant for its reasonable prices and delicious soups. Everything tasted really fresh and I was satisfied with having soup for supper as they are very hearty. Cilantro is a main component in many of the soups, so if you don't like cilantro be sure to check before you order as it's not indicated on the menu.

The restaurant is located on the road to Atitlán km 87 next to the Ruins of Iximche. It is quite nice, pretty wooden tables. It has a variety of dishes including international and Guatemalan dishes. We were a party of three people and we had Cheese Raclette, Chorizo, and Steak and green salads. They bring you a basket full of freshly made Tortillas ! Food good, service good, presentation of dishes very original, prices fair! Recommended!
