La Casa del Pan Papalotl

San Cristóbal de las Casas


This attractive and relaxed restaurant-bakery is the place in San Cristóbal for vegetarian, vegan and bio dishes and there's an emphasis on using local ingredients. It offers great breakfasts and a daily three-course fixed-price menu, light lunches and some of the best empanadas around (great for lunch to go or self caterers).
