Restaurant Le Villa del Chef

I was pleasantly surprised to find this Mediterranean oasis in Guatemala. There are only two tables in the colorful front room, one large table in the main room, and a few on the deck overlooking the lake. The cluster of cushioned chairs makes it seem as if you are in someone's home especially when the owner comes out and joins you. Seeing how hot I was, he returned with a cold, eucalyptus cloth for my neck. While we waited for his homemade rolls to bake, he told me about his life in Israel, then about taking over the restaurant only six months earlier and changing the menu. He has loyal customers that love the food, as did I. He wishes to add more Mediterranean cuisine but the ingredients are not available in Guatemala. The menu has plenty to offer especially for vegetarians at very reasonable prices. I choose the fresh hummus garnished with tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions served with the warm rolls. It was so good, I returned the next day for the babaganoush.
