San Pedro Sula has some of the best restaurants in Honduras. There is such an extensive selection of them, that it is impossible to include them all in a listing. We have however, made an effort to list some of the better and more popular ones. Even though some of these may seem expensive by local standards, it would be very hard to find a better value for your dollar elsewhere. Many restaurants have begun the practice of adding a 10% service charge on your bill, to cover for your tip, so it is a good idea for you to check your bill before you leave a tip. Normally, a 10% tip is expected. Our listing includes fast food restaurants, the better comedores in town as well as more elegant eateries. For your convenience, we have set them apart in categories based on the type of food they offer:
