Family Travel – My Favorite Restaurants for Kids in Antigua

X

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

I have mentioned before how small Antigua Guatemala is. But for those who don’t know, it is a teeny tiny colonial city with only 10 square blocks. Sometimes people think that because of that Antigua has nothing to do or see but old buildings. Well that is not the case at all.It is filled with tons of hotels, restaurants, bars, stores and anything you might need. What we have explored the most with my family are the restaurants and after visiting many of them I came up with a list of the best restaurants for kids, take a look:

Kloster

This restaurant is located right next to the Casa Santo Domingo Hotel and unlike most of the restaurants in Antigua it has a parking space. It also has a terrace, the perfect place for a kid to play while they wait for their food. Kloster is famous for its fondue and it is great but my son’s favorite dish was the sausage meal. It is so tasty that even the pickiest eater would love it.

Hotel Porta Antigua’s Restaurant

This hotel is just a 3 block walk away from Antigua’s Central park and is where we like to go almost every weekend with our boy. That is because it became my  favorite kid friendly restaurants. Here you can have a great meal on a garden and a great play ground. Also for a small extra fee you can use their pool.

On Sundays you can also take your kid to their kid’s club. it is a dream world for kids because it’s filled with toys and fun things. My son and his little partner loved.

Hotel Casa Santo Domingo‘s Restaurant

The main restaurant area of this hotel is pretty formal but there is also an outside area with some plants great for kids. This restaurant is in the middle of the ruins of what used to be a convent in the colonial days of the city. The ruins are the perfect setup for my son’s exploring adventures in fact his exact words were:“I felt like an explorer. Plus the food is delicious. What more could a parent want?

Escalonia Cafe

As you can see I love open places where my son can run around without bothering the rest of the people in the restaurant. Well this is another one of those! Here the tables are in the middle of a garden, separated enough to give you some privacy with enough space for my explorer to play in.

Monoloco

This is a great family restaurant during the day and a fun bar at night. My son’s favorite thing about this place is the monkey they have in their logo. So you can imagine what happens when we walk across their gift shop (where the monkey is in everything). All over Antigua this restaurant is known for having great food but my kid’s choice are the nachos. They serve a big plate filled with nachos, lots of cheese guacamole, beans and beef or chicken. The second best thing of this place according to my son is the pizza.
