Eating Out

At the bar in Jarachik

International cuisine can be enjoyed in first-class hotels and restaurants. The staple ingredients of typical dishes are meat, poultry, rice, beans and corn. Avocados, considered a delicacy in many parts of the world, are part of any regular meal for Guatemalans, and one of the enormous variety of fruits grown in the country. Guatemala is noted for high quality beef. Steak houses rank high on the list of favorite restaurants for locals. Seafood, if not as abundant, is equally good.
