Visiting La Antigua is so much more than walking its cobbled streets or admiring its monuments. A visit to the city implies taking part in one of the most wonderful traditions that can exist: eating in good company some of Guatemala’s ancestral food.
Amid colloquial sayings written on the walls, beautiful gardens and conveniently close to the central park – in the the heart of the city – you can find not only one, but three locations for La Fonda de la Calle Real. Sitting down and enjoying a meal at “La Fonda” (as people call it with affection) is enjoying the friendly and cordial treatment from their waiters, who will guide you through the menu and answer all of your questions so that your selection is the beginning of an adventure that will take you through the best Guatemalan cuisine has to offer, all while you feel right at home!
The dishes on their menu have been recognized –nationally and internationally – for their quality and taste. This is the result of love, dedication and, of course, the exquisite seasoning with which they prepare them, replicating recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Some of the dishes you should really try are their fondues, the comforting Caldo Real (a tasty broth) with chicken and rice or a good meat dish, accompanied by the usual chapín garnishes like beans, cream and cheese, rice, salads and many more. You cannot miss the traditional chicken Pepián or a sweet dessert to a perfect meal, like the plantain mole.
