Best restaurants for Sunday Brunch in La Antigua, Guatemala

Antigua, Guatemala is a beautiful colonial city in the Guatemalan Central Highlands. Given that it attracts both Guatemalans and tourists from around the world, there are many good restaurants. If you are looking for a restaurant for Sunday brunch Spaswinefood recommendations are:
  1. Meson Panza Verde
  2. Casa Santo Domingo
Meson Panza Verde 
Mezon Panza Verde is a luxury boutique hotel and restaurant. Meson Panza Verde's Restaurant is well known in Guatemala, as the place to go for a special evening out.  It is definitely one of the best restaurants in Antigua. Each Sunday Meson Panza Verde Restaurant offers a brunch menu that is quite popular. I recently visited Meson Panza Verde for brunch.

Sunday brunch is served in the inner courtyard.

The brunch menu offers a number of options. From the menu we both ordered Meson Panza Verde's variations of Eggs Benedict. According to Que Pasa Magazine Eggs Benedict at Meson Panza Verde is considered the best in town.

Our Eggs Benedict were great. The setting at Meson Panza Verde is absolutely inviting. If you like piano music and excellent service it is the perfect place for Sunday brunch.

Casa Santo Domingo
Spaswinefood other recommendation for Sunday brunch is Casa Santo Domingo, a luxury hotel for travelers who like lots of amenities. Twice during our recent stay in Antigua, Guatemala we had brunch at the Casa Santo Domingo Restaurant.

Sunday brunch at Casa Santo Domingo is quite popular with both travelers and locals.  There are many options to choose for brunch. Within the buffet area you can also order such foods, as crepes and omelets. I like selecting something freshly prepared by the chief.

The setting for Casa Santa Domingo Restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The hotel is a beautifully restored monastery, with over five hundred years of history. Casa Santo Domingo has a museum and the overall hotel grounds are quite stunning. Many weddings and special events in Antigua are held at Casa Santo Domingo.

Casa Santo Domingo and Meson Panza Verde are not only great places for Sunday brunch but, their restaurants provide absolutely beautiful settings for dining.
