Restaurant and food
Guatemaltecan cuisine uses a medley of spices which each give the dishes a particular and delicious flavour. A large number of spices used all over the world are grown in Guatemala.
Each typical dish has its own history, a history with some of the cultural and traditional elements of the country which the cook will be delighted to discuss with visitors. If you visit a market, the things you buy will contain all kinds of ingredients which will enrich your culinary vocabulary, from "rapadura" (raw cane sugar) to make sweet "torrejas" (a kind of French toast) to achiote fruit for kakik, a typical dish from Cobán. A typical meal changes from region to region, but satisfaction is guaranteed everywhere. Excellently-priced lobsters from the Caribbean coast and Pacific shrimp are two of the delicacies from our coastal areas. And of course, a hot bowl of "tapado", which is the national version of bouillabaisse, with unusual ingredients like plaintains.
Thanks to the country’s biodiversity and microclimates, Guatamala produced exotic fruits like pitaya, pacaya and jocote, together with the more traditional melons and avocados which are supposed to have originated here.
Typical and traditional dishes are complemented by haute-cuisine restaurants, offering international chefs’ own creations using the variety of fresh, national ingredients.
