The best steakhouses in Guatemala are to be found in the capital city
The capital city of Guatemala has the best restaurants in the country. Both local and international cuisines are available, and many of the city's steakhouses combine Guatemalan ingredients with dishes from around the world; at Hacienda Real for example, steaks are served with jalapeños and salsa. It is possible to eat very cheaply at Parrillada Doña Sara or splash out on a more formal meal, such as at Jean Francois and Hacienda Real.
Parrillada Doña Sara
This is an inexpensive, family-run restaurant that specializes in steaks and barbecued meats; there is also a selection of cheap wines on the menu. The owner can usually be seen standing outside the restaurant stirring a very large pan of paella. Inside, old photographs cover the walls, giving this eatery the feel of an old-fashioned steakhouse.
