El Refectorio - Casa Santo Domingo
Guatemala
El Refectorio is Casa Santo Domingo's fine-dining restaurant in Antigua Guatemala. Its menu moves between Guatemalan flavours and international techniques: sopa chapina includes chicken, macuy leaves and a chipilín tamalito, while beef tenderloin comes with black recado sauce and potato-chorizo foam. A Josper charcoal oven is used for steaks, seafood and other grilled dishes. Breakfast ranges from Guatemalan eggs with black beans, cheese and plantains to pancakes and salmon Benedict. Desserts are similarly varied, including chocolate with avocado and chilli, alongside more familiar choices. The drinks selection covers classic and signature cocktails, wines and sparkling wines chosen by sommeliers. Coffee can be prepared with different brewing methods, using beans from areas such as Antigua, Santa Rosa and Acatenango.
