Delicious chocolate cake and homemade banana bread are mmm mmm good at Doña Luisa Xicotencatl in Antigua, Guatemala.
This little restaurant and bakery is located on 4a calle oriente #12, but it is better known as the yellow house across the street from Deliciosa where there used to be a Subway,
or next door to Fridas. It is a common place for Antigüeños to meet for breakfast on a Sunday morning, or grab lunch during the week.
The food is excellent, reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is great. Doña Luisa Xicotencatl is located in a restored home from 1650, and is named after conquistador Pedro de Alvarado’s companion. In the front room on the second floor there are some amazing murals that you have to see. The doorways in the colonial home open wide, creating a breezy, open atmosphere.
The bakery is a hotspot among locals and tourists for its delicious breads, both hearty and savory, its cakes and desserts. (Try the carrot cake!) And if you are going for breakfast you will feel right at home with some pancakes or waffles.
