Why Travelers Love El Tenedor
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Excellent restaurant! Really unique and cool atmosphere. Views of Antigua. Wait staff very prompt and professional. The food was really delicious and I loved the unique combinations of tastes and textures. Very creative and presented beautifully. I would definitely eat here again! One of my favorites in Antigua. We only sampled a few items—coffee, piña coladas, and pupusas—but everything was genuinely delicious. The atmosphere invites you to wander: we loved strolling through the gardens, admiring the artwork, and soaking in the stunning volcano views on a clear day. Zip lining is offered as one of the activities, though we didn’t get a chance to try it ourselves. All in all, a beautiful spot worth checking out. If you’re looking for a place that combines great food, breathtaking views, and a touch of culture, El Tenedor del Cerro is a must-visit while in Antigua. From the moment you arrive, the setting is absolutely stunning — perched high in the hills, the restaurant offers panoramic views of Antigua, the volcanoes, and the lush valley below. It’s the kind of place where you want to slow down, soak in the scenery, and stay a while. The food was fantastic. I ordered the grilled d mahi mahi fish, and it was cooked to perfection — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and relaxed, matching the peaceful ambiance of the location. There’s also an art and sculpture park on-site, with galleries and installations scattered throughout the grounds. It adds a lovely cultural touch and makes the whole experience feel like more than just a meal.

This is a must visit restaurant if you're in Antigua. The food and drinks are great and the service is top-notch, but the views! Holy smokes, the views are amazing. There is a beautiful garden and art exhibit just outside the restaurant that you can do a post-dinner walkabout in (you'll need it since you'll be so full).

Great accommodations, lot of bells and whistles grounds. You need a car to visit and its steep climb with your car in low gear. High end menu with a good variety, not for the faint at heart. Overall I recommend going somewhere in town. Cheaper and same variety. without the high end price for plain international menu. We ordered a rib platter with veggies. And guess what no ribs. Got up and left, with 5 guest to a good place in town .
