The 12 levels menu is great but when we asked to cancel one of the ala carte because we are full, we were surprised that they still charged us. That was the downer.

From the moment we arrived, the place was a 100/10 — surrounded by nature, with a beautiful organic garden and stunning views. The staff greeted us so warmly, and we were honestly impressed right away, not just by the atmosphere but also by the service. We originally came just for lunch, but ended up staying much longer to relax, play some games in their cozy lounge, and enjoy a few drinks. It was such a pleasant surprise! And the food? Absolutely delicious, every bite was amazing. Highly recommended!

About the restaurant

Ubicado en una de las zonas más relevantes de la ciudad, Mercado 24 propone cocina de producto guatemalteco tomando como principal inspiración los 23 mercados de la capital, es de ahí donde se deriva su nombre, pretendemos ser el mercado número 24 de esta vibrante ciudad.
Habitando un local que antiguamente fue una bodega, el diseño respeta esta historia y convierte el local en un lugar ecléctico, desenfadado y divertido donde comer bien y beber bien es la mayor de las misiones, un equipo conformado por gente joven termina de enmarcar el mejor de los escenarios para disfrutar de una cocina guatemalteca moderna.
Mercado 24 ha formado parte de la lista Latinamerica 50best restaurants en el 2022 y 2023, teniendo el puesto #49 este año.
El chef Pablo Díaz se enfoca en productos de calidad y cien por ciento locales, el tiradito de pesca del día y las tostadas han sido un favorito del público en este reconocido lugar.
La terraza es imperdible para disfrutar y pasarla bien.

food is great. Music was properly turned down a bit. Service was pretty good. Will continue to come back to it. Decore could be improved, chairs could be more confortable. But the food is the key

A classic in Guatemala City that is always a hit. You can't go wrong with Carpaccio. My favorites: Tuna Sashimi (super fresh) and the salmon or Carbonara pasta. The Mustard Fish is also delicious. It's the restaurant I always go if I want the best food in a special place.

About the restaurant

Bistrot Cinq opened its doors on November 16, 2007. It’s the vision of renowned American Chef, Robbin Haas. Inspired by the bistros he visited during his trips to France, Robbin created the atmosphere of a typical “French Bistrot” in the heart of Antigua, Guatemala. The Bistrot is a cozy restaurant, where you can kick back and relax, knowing we’ll do everything we can to take good care of you and help you feel at home. We’re a place full of stories, joy and a lot of life, where the beauty of Antigua, Guatemala is mixed with the inspiring charm of Paris.
