Hotel Atitlán

Description:

• This hotel restaurant is by far the most elegant dining option in Panajachel. Wood tables and chairs, beautiful place settings and glassware, and candles and a fireplace contribute to the ornate setting, while patio tables add lake and volcano views to the menu. Standout entrees include grilled salmon braised with pesto and filet mignon with Roquefort sauce. They also offer a selection of pastas and a few refined takes on Guatemalan classics, including pupusas (cornmeal patties usually stuffed with beans, cheese, or meat) and the typical Chapin plate of grilled meat, fried plantain, refried beans, and local cheese. For lunch, you can get hearty sandwiches and burgers in addition to the regular menu, and the Sunday brunch buffet is justifiably popular.
