Café Paradiso

Tegucigalpa


An intimate, bohemian hangout, this is the place to find Tegus' creative types. The decor (with an excess of curios and lots of paintings) and layout (multiple rooms set off a central covered patio) are unusual. Food-wise, you can snack on a pastry for just L35 or feast on a filet mignon for L250.

Art-house movies are shown at 6:30pm Tuesday; poetry readings at 6:30pm Thursday.
