Tegucigalpa Restaurants
Quite often a really good restaurant is as close as
your hotel. The Hotel Honduras Maya has a coffee shop
Cafeteria Ano 2000, Alondra Restaurante, and Restaurant
El Candelero. Excellent service and quality. Don't forget
to try their "cafe con leche" it's a treat.
Hotel Prado, La Ronda, Plaza hotel and San Martin have
excellent restaurants. These are good for breakfasts
and lunches. But when it comes to dinners be adventurous
and try some of the best, here's some suggestions-
Restaurante Roma, pizza and pasta, authentic Italian
food, located on Avenida Republicana Dominicana, near
the Hotel Honduras Maya, 3ra Calle, Colonia Palmira,
economical, telephone. 32-1101.
Hungry Fisherman, sea food restaurant, Avenida Republica
de Chile, near the Hotel Honduras Maya, Colonial Palmira,

blocks below the USA Embassy, take a left turn after
crossing the bridge. Meals run about $5. Telephone

La Hacienda Restaurante located on Boulevard Morazan it
is a very popular family-style steak house. Friendly
staff and quality dining has made this a favorite not
only for steak dishes but seafood as well. The restaurant
is
open seven days a week. Reservations are not necessary
unless you have a large group. The telephone is
31-3636.
For lunches and something quick, one of my favorites is
the Brik-Brak Restaurant, a little short order restaurant
on Calle Peatonal, downtown, just a short distance from
Parque Central.
There are so many good restaurants in Tegucigalpa it is
difficult to choose just a few. If you find any you'd
like to
recommend, let me know and I'll put it in the next
revision.
