Hotel Marriot Guatemala
Known “in my times” as El Dorado, also one of the hotels with tradition at the City that I´m afraid had change the chain quite a lot of times, but it didn´t affected the good quality of this good hotel.

Hotel Atitlan: the best hotel in Panajachel for really enjoying Atitlan Lake.
This hotel is extremely nice. They have done a great job with the garden, as good as they even charge the entrance to their gardens to people that is not staying with them. Nice swimming pool an d a great outside Jacuzzi with an amazing view. Mayan sauna. Of course they offer all 5 stars hotel services, even massages and other beauty treatments. They use to have very good food at the restaurant, that btw it´s a bit expensive, but the last time I was there (March 2009), was not that good. So, is better to go to the town to eat, but as far as the hotel is not exactly inside the town, sometimes to dress up just for going to eat… well… after all the food is not really bad! ; )(But going for example to "El Tocoyal" could be the half).

Tre Fratelli: a delicous, well looking and good at any time of the day Italian! ;P
Tre Fratelli
This is an Italian restaurant that just lately had incorporated the breakfasts at their services… a quite successful idea! :) The result is some kind of the “Italian” version of Guatemalan breakfasts! ;P (because I know for sure what they offer are things you can´t find in Italy for breakfast!) but anyway, great options! I´m afraid I haven´t took pictures of the menu or the breakfasts and it´s a pity… I haven´t found in internet as well, not even at their web… but believe me, worth to try them! They also offer the buffet option on Sundays.
Here a video of Tre Fratelli catering… yeaph, I know, it just contain few seconds of one of their breakfasts :/ but maybe would be also nice to have an idea about the food they can offer:

Los Cebollines: my Favorite Mexican! ;P
Los Cebollines
This is a Mexican restaurant with Mexican breakfast specialties that are just great! I also love from this chain the decoration of the restaurants. They also offer the buffet option daily.
Here an example of what you can get for breakfast there:
And some pictures to have an idea of the place:
Go to ImageShack® to Create your own Slideshow
I should tell that the lasts times I went in other hours, the food wasn´t as good as it use to... just I can´t tell if this is due I´d improved my preferences ;P or if it was a lower quality thing.

Portal del Angel: You´ll feel like having wings!
El Portal del Ángel
This is a grill place that since the beginning had been taking care about the place itself where they put the restaurant (nice view, good surroundings, well located…), the exterior of the restaurant and the great decoration of the inside.
I´m afraid I haven´t take pictures of the place neither of the menu and wasn´t possible to find it at internet, but I really recommend to visit it and by now, to check out the pictures they have click here.

San Martin Bakery: more than just bread!
Panadería San Martín
Yeaph, this is a bakery… but they also have a cafeteria with excellent breakfasts! :) What I appreciate more about this place is that they have done an effort for offering different options for breakfast using eggs, with a great result. One good example of this is the Salvadoran breakfast that includes pupusas (delicious!) ;D or the “hidden eggs” one, that is a big bread that has inside the eggs with sauce.
Panadería San Martín is definitely a great option for trying new breakfast experiences! :)

Pollo Campero: A great chicken!
Pollo Campero
This is a Guatemalan chain that is the proud of every Guatemalan. It has been successful not just in Guatemala but also in USA where people from Central America and other Latin American countries love to eat there. In 2006 they opened the first restaurant in Madrid (yyyyyyyeeeeeessssssss!!!) but I´m afraid without offering breakfasts! :( Anyway it´s quite normal due in Spain the breakfast customs are so different.
In Guatemala they offer for breakfast eggs: fried or scramble, with tomato sauce and fried plantains, hash browns, cream, fresh cheese, highly-seasoned pork sausage, ham, bacon and/or refried beans as garnish; they also do eggs specialties as Benedictines eggs; croissants, cheese melts, hot cakes and French toasts. For beverage: orange juice and coffee or tea. ¡Just delicious! :)
Wondering, you also can find Campero chicken for breakfast and a lot of people take it… no matter in Guatemala it´s not a custom to take chicken for breakfast!
The way they present the food is also a way to identify this is a Campero breakfast. Even their bread is different in shape but all so familiar in savor, I think this is part of their success clue.
Something else that makes Pollo Campero a special place is their philosophy. They give free education to their employees and also have different social foundations.

Hotel Porta Antigua
Hotel Porta Antigua
This hotel is definitely part of the history of Antigua Guatemala. Just from few years ago is part of the Porta hotels and before that was managed by a nice Guatemalan family. Part of the staff had been working at the hotel for more than 20 years, those are people that just love what they do and you really can note it.
This is my favorite one if we talk about having brunch in the whole Guatemala.
Here some of my pics:

La Fonda de la Calle Real
La Fonda de la Calle Real Antigua
This is a real classic. Opened in 1975 and specialized in Guatemalan typical food, it´s considered as one of the best Guatemalan typical food restaurants. Decorated as if it would be founded some centuries ago (with and old kitchen and rustic chairs), also owns part of its charm to the walls that are “decorated” with quite a lot of proverbs written there.
Here some pics of the place:
It´s a place you have to go at least once, of course also has great breakfasts, but maybe I would recommend, in case you have to choose, to go there for a formal meal instead.

Hotel Soleil Antigua

For me was the Ramada Hotel, as far as it was part of that hotels chain, but some years ago it changed into Soleil.
It´s like a classic in Antigua but I haven´t found videos of it, I´m afraid.

Nais: a Nice Place for a Nice Breakfast! :D
Nais
This place is already a classic. They started with quite good lunch and dinner options and where one of the firsts to give breakfast options as well. Just give a look at the menu and you will find this is a worth to go there:
I just should puntualized that the last times I went to eat for lunch or dinner there, the food quality wasn´t as good as before, but the prices were higher! :/ But for breakfast it´s still quite good and I defenetely recommend it! :D
On November 2008 they opened the first Aquarium Restaurant of Latin America. I had visited it in February 2009 and yes, it´s beautiful… but you have to pay to enter to the restaurant and if you want a better view they have a VIP option where you have to pay even more for having the privilege of eating there. Ok, the Aquarium is really nice and something quite original… and yes, I understand the maintenance of such a place should be expensive… I just felt expensive the prices they have for that. But it´s a worth view and a nice place.
Here an interview of the history of the group and how they got the idea of placing the Aquarium: (in Spanish)
Here the second part:
Here some views of the result:

Casa Santo Domingo: my Ideal Resting Place
Hotel Casa Santo Domingo
This is definitely my favorite hotel in the whole world. Ok, at least of the part of the world I know! :P Actually it´s a 5 stars Museum-Hotel. They had rebuilt a colonial convent, but taking care of conserving the original style and even the original master pieces of the convent are exhibited at the museum part (but also decorating rooms and corridors). It´s full with quite original details… like having the swimming pool at the old fountain (I mean: you swim inside a fountain! But it had been rebuilt as swimming pool).
Here some of my own pics:
Here a video with the story of the hotel (I´m afraid it´s in Spanish):
In this one you can see a lot of different areas of the hotel (as well in Spanish but you don´t need to understand the dialog to appreciate the beauty of the place):
Its restaurant had win a lot of international prices, so, it´s always a great idea to eat there! :D My favorite: ravioli.

Finca Filadelfia: a Coffee Plantation Converted into a Resort, SPA, Restaurant and Place to Canopy
Filadelfia Coffee Resort & SPA
This is a coffee farm where lately also contains a hotel and a restaurant. The owners are really visionaries and had included interesting activities like canopy, bird watching tours, mule rides and coffee tours… my only one complain is about the prices… very, very, very high ones! :( But it´s a great place for going to eat, also with very good breakfasts! :D
Some pics of Finca Filadelfia:

Luisa de Xicotencatl: from Indian Princess to a Tasteful Kitchen
Doña Luisa de Xicotencatl
The name of the place is taken from the name of an Indian Princess gave by her father to Pedro de Alvarado (Spanish Conqueror of Guatemala), not exactly as a wife (afterwards he has his Spanish legal wife), but actually they both had a daughter…. But that´s another story! ;)
This cafeteria is famous due the house it´s situated, a quite nice colonial house with a big garden, and also due the food that has a remarked European style (I think the owners are from Europe… maybe from Germany). They make their own bread and also have a store selling their delicious bread.
To go there on weekends to take the breakfast is a real classic!
I´m afraid I have no pics of their breakfasts and I didn´t found at internet, but here some of the restaurant:

Kape Paulinos: my Very Favorite in Tecpán
Kape Paulinos
It´s situated at the road, in Tecpan, at the side of Katok.
It´s a nice place to taste typical Guatemalan food. Actually this is my favorite one of that area.

La Cabaña Suiza: Great Food in a Haven of Peace!
La Cabaña Suiza
It´s situated out of the city, at the road going from Guatemala to Antigua Guatemala, at the mountains. They offer hotel and cafeteria services, taking care of the gardens in a very special way, that´s part of what made them famous.
The goal of the cafeteria is to give real Swiss food options, but as usual, for breakfast, they had to offer Guatemalan´s style food to have success.
It´s really magical to go there, also you can appreciate a nice view of the city.
Here some of the pics they have at their web:

Sarita
Sarita
They started selling ice creams in 1948. Years later they discovered a place, Escuintla, which was in the middle of the rout going from Guatemala City to the beach, in a very hot place, so, they placed an ice cream shop there plus a hotel with swimming pool and a cafeteria… ;) Soon it became into an obligated stop for travelers going to the beach. Some years ago they decided to open restaurants at Guatemala City and it was a whole success and of course, they included breakfasts.
I should say this is not one of my favorite places in Guatemala but definitely their ice creams are really good and a success like they had is something to recognize, that´s why I included it here :D.
I´m afraid the web is giving troubles and I haven´t find pics to share with you, but at least I found this video:

La Palace, Guatemala: the Best Black Forest I Have Ever Tasted!
La Palace
Wondering I didn´t find anything about this cake shop in internet. :( Definitely a real pity! This is a place that was there since I remember. When I was a kid to have a birthday cake from this cake shop was even a kind of wealthy sign. They also had quite interesting salty things for snack time, like the greatest vol au vents I had tried in my entire life! :D With the time they also incorporated breakfasts… but I should say if Igo there, no matter the time of the day, I would prefer to eat a vol au vent or/and a cake.

Wondering I didn´t find anything about this cake shop in internet. :( Definitely a real pity! This is a place that was there since I remember. When I was a kid to have a birthday cake from this cake shop was even a kind of wealthy sign. They also had quite interesting salty things for snack time, like the greatest vol au vents I had tried in my entire life! :D With the time they also incorporated breakfasts… but I should say if Igo there, no matter the time of the day, I would prefer to eat a vol au vent or/and a cake. The most famous cake they have is the Black Forest cake.
