1. Fonda de Santa Clara
$ | Centro |Founded in 1965, this shrine to la comida poblana has four branches in Puebla, and has expanded throughout Mexico. Two of the Puebla branches have great locations in the center of town. The original, near the zócalo, is cozier, but the larger at Paseo Bravo still manages a nice colonial aura. The food consists of mole, mole, and more mole, but you can also get nopal (prickly-pear leaf) salad, sopa de medula (marrowbone soup), and other hearty regional fare. There's another branch at Calle 3 Poniente 920.

2. Fonda del Convento
$ | |In a low stone building on a tree-lined street, this unassuming café is overlooked by most travelers but is always packed with locals. The series of small dining rooms means it won't be hard to find a quiet table. The delicious traditional fare includes such dishes as chicken broth with creamy avocados and strips of cactus flambéed with bits of onion and chilies. Ask your waiter if there's caldo de habas, a bean soup with strips of cactus; it's something of a local specialty, and is quite tasty. Open until 8 pm, and quiet after 6, it's best for breakfast and lunch.

3. La Lunita
$ | |A stone's throw from the Gran Pirámide, this little eatery, opened in 1939, has bumped up its prices a bit, but it's still a good place to cool off after a sweltering afternoon in the archaeological zone. It's welcoming and cluttered with bric-a-brac. The specialty is acamayas, a kind of crayfish. Also available are chilaquiles, milk shakes, an array of tortas, various types of mole, and meat dishes.

4. La Michoacana
$ | |You can gaze out over the lake and the town's red rooftops at the Michoacana, which is just a short walk from the zócalo. It's one of the town's best sources of regional fare and a great place for a family meal—and open from 9 am to 11 pm 365 days a year. You can't go wrong here—all the typical Mexican plates you'll recognize are available, but the house specialties include a terrific chamorro (lamb shank) and pre-Hispanic dishes that you won't find everywhere else, such as chapulines con cebolla y chili de arbol (toasted grasshoppers with onion and a spicy red chili sauce), and escamoles a la mantequilla (ant eggs lightly fried in butter).

5. Los Colorines
$ | |Hung with colorful papeles picados (paper cutouts), this family-friendly restaurant serves great bean soups, stuffed chilies, and grilled meats made in an open kitchen. Special dishes include huauzontles (a broccoli-like vegetable you scrape from the stalk with your teeth). Note that the restaurant closes at 9 pm during the week; weekends it's open until 10 or until the crowd leaves.

6. Los Güeros
$ | |This budget eatery to the side of the portales on the zócalo is a favorite for fresh local fare. The menu includes tacos, flautas (tortillas rolled into tubes and deep-fried), and pozole (flavorful hominy soup with pork or chicken). The especialidades section includes meat-heavy combination plates that are an exceptional value for under $10. The place stays open until around midnight.

7. Moyuelo
$ | Col. La Paz |Moyuelo does a welcome, contemporary take on the cemita, Puebla's version of the classic Mexican torta sandwich. The arrachera (thin steak) comes with a peanut-guajillo chili salsa; the chilaquiles (tortilla chips in salsa) are garnished with watercress in avocado oil. The usually basic milanesa (breaded pork loin) has a Parmesan-garlic breading and artisanal cheese from the nearby town of Chipilo. Terrific soups and salads round out the menu. The stylish decor and hip crowd is a rarity in the overwhelmingly conservative atmosphere of Puebla.

8. Restaurant-Bar Los Jarrones
$ | |Simple but smart, Los Jarrones ("The Pitchers") welcomes diners with long wooden tables, comfy cushioned chairs, and white walls accented with green tiles. Starters include onion and garlic soup; the parrillada (a variety of grilled meats) is a popular option for sharing. A weekend breakfast buffet is served 9:30 to 1. Live music at night is loud but pleasant.

9. Restaurante Peña Los Jarritos
$ | |This cavelike restaurant might only be open on Friday and Saturday, but it has unforgettable regional cuisine and a fun atmosphere with live music. Even simple items like the salsas and frijoles (black beans) are intensely flavored. There's an exquisite sopa de setas (soup of oyster mushrooms), or you could try the signature dish, enchiladas de picadillo con mole de olla (ground beef and raisin enchiladas with a savory local mole).

10. Restaurante Yoloxochitl
$ | |Just above the market, with a view of the main plaza, this plant-filled restaurant makes delicious regional cuisine served by a friendly staff. The envueltos de mole (chicken-filled tortillas covered in a thick, smoky mole sauce) are an excellent choice if you want to take a break from walking around the market and enjoy a snack. There is often live traditional music at lunchtime.
