3 Best Restaurants in El Peten, Guatemala

Maple & Tocino

$ Fodor's choice

This cozy eatery has tasty brunch all day, with items like: shakshuka eggs, Flores skillet with egg, avocado, beans, and mushrooms, or chicken and waffles. Don't miss the famous milkshake: three scoops of vanilla ice cream, flavor of your choice (we suggest maple syrup and bacon), topped off with a delectable doughnut. 

Caffé Ital– Espresso

$

Tucked away between the souvenir shops and museums you'll find this extremely reasonably priced coffee shop to wake you up for your sunrise tour. It's next to a small pond where you can search for a crocodile while you sip your latte.

Cool Beans

$

You'll feel appropriately cool chilling in a hammock or shooting the breeze with another wanderer in this leafy garden café, sipping lemonade or an ice latte. If you're bored by the national beers, Gallo in Guatemala or Belikin in Belize, this café serves real IPAs and a selection of imported craft beers. You can eat breakfast for under Q40, and light meals are served the rest of the day. There's free Wi-Fi.
