1. Las Orquideas
$ | |If you've never eaten in an Italian grandfather's kitchen overlooking a beautiful lake here's your chance. This unfussy outdoor spot has a nice selection of pasta cooked to order in the open kitchen. They bake up homemade bread for the bruschetta, and the pizza is a treat with a glass of wine or a frosty Gallo. It's worth the drive after Tikal.
Lakeshore Rd., El Remate, Petén, Guatemala5819--7232Known For
- Italo-Maya pasta: a homemade tagliatelle with your choice of sauce
- Homey atmosphere
- Great pizza
-
2. Maple & Tocino
$ | |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.

3. Raíces Bar and Grill
$ | |Grilled meats come piping hot off the parrilla (grill) and give this palapa restaurant swagger. Tacos with practically an artist's palette of sauces are also popular, and the steamed fish is excellent. Raíces is built over the water, so with friends, a margarita in hand, and the lake framing it all, you'll have a good time. You can also take a boat ride from the restaurant out to Raíces Del Lago for a special dining experience from another vantage point on the lake.

6. 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.

7. Legumbres Mayas
$ | |“Legumes" might not be the sexiest feature of a restaurant name, but this little cinder-block, rickety-tabled joint has plates and plates of those fresh veggies you've been missing—and not the boring kind, either. Heaping helpings of beans and rice can be had for about Q20. Vegetarians and vegans especially will rejoice. The folks are friendly, too.
Calle 15 de Septiembre, Flores, Petén, Guatemala502-4324--7259Known For
- Vegan and vegetarian nirvana
- Friendly family service
- Great value
-
8. Restaurante Gonzalez
$ | |If you're looking for delicious, authentic, homemade Guatemalan food at great prices you've come to the right place. There's a good chance your whitefish was caught from the lake that morning, and the tortillas are homemade with pride. The grilled chicken is mouthwatering, and the soup is a must-try on a cooler day. The thatch-roofed open-air restaurant is nothing fancy, but you'll get attentive service—and breakfast, lunch, and dinner all hit the spot.
Rd. PET-3 Caoba, El Remate, Petén, Guatemala3131--6249Known For
- Homemade tortillas and charcoal grilled chicken
- Warm and welcoming chef/owner
- Fresh, healthy juices like hibiscus and passionfruit
