Like Guatemala City, but on a smaller scale, Antigua assembles a mix of regional and international cuisines into its restaurant scene. Few other cities pack such a variety into a 10-block-by-10-block area. A good rule of thumb: more expensive restaurants line the streets east of the city's Parque Central. Less pricey options line those west of the park.
As you’d surmise from the name, this is the place to stop for a quick morning or afternoon pick-me-up of homemade juice made from every fruit or fruit mix imaginable. The enormous blackboard behind the counter shows you what’s on the day's menu, which usually includes a selection of veggie wraps and coffee cakes. The decor is pretty basic—you sit on stump stools at your plastic table—but the aqua and white color scheme really cheers things up.
This hot spot on the northwest corner of Parque Central hustles and bustles with all the commotion of a big-city café. Coffees, teas, chai, and hot chocolate are on tap, along with a good variety of panini and salads. It can be difficult to find a table during the day, especially on weekends. If you're here with someone else, have one person in your party grab a table the minute one opens up, while another orders at the counter. Things thin out a bit after 8 pm.
Wander over to this seven- table café and pastry shop to try the 25 kinds of homemade cookies filled with nuts, chocolate, coconut, oatmeal, and spices. There's a good selection of gourmet coffee on the menu, too.
One of Antigua's best small Italian restaurants serves up homemade pastas and pizzas from a wood-burning oven, and a variety of home-baked breads. Choose from an impressive selection of cheeses and wines sold by the bottle or glass. This is mostly a place to stop for a light bite, rather than a full meal. Most of the seating is outside, but you'll find plenty of covering to duck under on a rainy day.
The name is apt. Anything and everything in the bagel realm makes up the bulk of the menu in this place just around the corner from the Parque Central. You'll find an equally wide variety of smoothie flavors here as well as decaf coffee (a real rarity in this country). Stop by at 5:30 pm for the nightly screenings of late-run Hollywood films on DVD; there's a huge selection of those, too. Movie time occasionally varies but will always be announced that day on a board in the doorway.
