Kitchen at La Fonda de la Calle Real Restaurant

Kitchen at La Fonda de la Calle Real

This is one of the kitchens at La Fonda de la Calle Real, which shows a typical kitchen in the colonial times. As you can see, if you click on the image to enlarge it, that most of the pots and pans were made from ceramic (cooked clay). La Fonda de la Calle Real is one of Antigua’s landmarks with three locations around Calle del Arco. Mr. Bill Clinton and her Royal Highness Infanta Doña Cristina ate here at different times. You can see the entrance of one of the restaurants in the Antigua’s Color Palette: Red as well as more information.

Countdown side note: Today’s entry is number 297 so far and we continue with a countdown to post 300th. Also, please visit Tenerife Daily Photo which is about to reach its 500th photo.

    I was there on April 16th, 2008. We enjoyed the food inmensely as the excellent service.
    Our waiter tried to explain how to make your famous hot “salsa verde”,
    Could you be more specific in tell me how to prepare it?.
    I will appreciate it.
