    Perfect Food Hideaway

    Hector’s is a cozy restaurant right by La Merced. It is wood paneled with basket lighting and cool, dark and quiet compared to the bright hustle and bustle of the neighborhood. I had a roasted tomato and Gouda appetizer which was the best version of...More

    Found this place our first day in Antigua and it was the best food we ate in the 4 days we’ve been in Antigua! We have one more night here and we are actually thinking about going back. Period! Lol

    Best in Antigua!

    This is a little gem of a restaurant! Honestly, we had the best Cesar salad ever. We can highly recommend the beef tenderloin and robalo. The carpaccio was extraordinary. The wine list was not long but had a nice variety. This is a very tiny...More

    Very good

    We had a very good meal with the family. Warm cheese was good as a starter, lomito steak in particular was very good, and desert (crème brûlée) was fine. Service was good. One of my best meals in Antigua for sure.

    Most delicious Duck and Fish

    Loved the cozy atmosphere and service, and of course the exquisite food! Started out with a French Onion Soup and the Roasted Tomatoes with Gouda, incredible. And then, had the SeaBass and the Duck, both were delicious. Would definitely recommend.
