Another example of the classic posada courtyard, this restaurant wraps around one central courtyard which is dotted with palms in pots and tables topped in cheery umbrellas, some sporting logos. The crowd was half tourists, half locals, and it seemed a bit younger. The menu has some vegetarian options. I had a traditional meat plate, which included guacamole, half a corn on the cob, and the most fabulous grilled green onions which I was told are a local specialty. I had a glass of iced tea, as did my dining companion. All told, lunch for both of us was less than ten dollars. Service was fine: quick and to the point. In the back of the restaurant was a separate saloon called Paris, which gave the distinct impression of turning into a happening spot at night. It was quite inviting, and if I hadn't been with a customer (yes my work brings me to Antigua!) I'd have easily been lured in by the shadowy bar and the primary colors on the walls.
