Tegucigalpa has a few outstanding restaurants, although not as many as you'd expect in a city of one million people. You'll find a good selection along Boulevard Morazán and in Colonia Palmira, to the east of Barrio El Centro. It's an up-and-coming area for dining and drinking with the smart and trendy crowd. A few other restaurants have sprung up on the outer fringes of the city, and you'll find a couple of old standbys downtown, too. All the U.S. chains are here if you get a hankering for something from back home.
Long considered the city's most romantic restaurant, La Cumbre arguably has the best panoramic view of Tegucigalpa going. By day or (especially) by night, it is worth the trip out here to view the world from this privileged vantage point. The elegant dining room serves classic German dishes such as Jägerschnitzel (pork or veal cutlets in mushroom gravy), and a few non-German dishes, too. Try the pork medallions with mango sauce.
