If AntiguaDailyPhoto has been at all useful to you, I will let you INVITE me a cup of coffee
Subscribers today:
This breakfast is served daily at Sabe Rico, one of my favorite spots to have breakfast.
What do you think are the things that make this omelet breakfast into a Guatemalan style omelet breakfast?
Here’s yet another photograph of a garden wall taken at Sabe Rico restaurant in Antigua Guatemala. As I have said in previous posts, there’s an appreciation for rustic and bared walls in La Antigua; what I have called the “new” aesthetic values of an old colonial town!
Would you like to have breakfast or brunch at table next to this wall? Here’s one of the breakfast possibilities and the table in front of the wall.
It’s been a while since I posted something in the Vegetarian category. I can honestly say that nowadays it is easier to be a vegetarian and dine out in La Antigua Guatemala. There are many restaurants that cater for the meat-free crowd. Sometimes it is only a few dishes like a miso soup or vegetarian roll at Ubi’s; other times it’s a whole section in the menu like in Sabe Rico where the photo of this delicious and fulfilling salad was taken.
The “green” salad pictured above has an assortment of deluxe organically grown lettuces, cherry tomatoes, watermelon dices, sliced olives, sesame and roasted pumpkin seeds. I recommend you give it a try even if you’re not vegetarian, you won’t miss the meat with such a rich and flavorful salad. I promise!
In La Antigua Guatemala there is an appreciation for rustic walls. If you visit the post Let me show you my guts, you can see a beautiful rustic and bared stone wall. If you then head over to New houses that look old to see how brand new walls are left exposed so that the rainy season can do its magic.
This is what I have called the “new” aesthetic values of an old town!
Besides the typical papalinas (potato chips) found everywhere, in La Antigua Guatemala you can also find exotic chips made from eggplant, plantain (plataninas in Guatemalan Spanish), cassava chips (yuquitas in Guatemala), sweet potato chips (camote in Spanish) and other such exotic vegetables. Of course, you need an exotic sandwich to match the exotic chips and the torta cubana (Cuban sandwich) is a pretty good match.
Bon appétit!
Además de las típicas papalinas que se encuentran pordoquier, en La Antigua Guatemala uno también encuentra frituras exóticas como las berengenas, plataninas, yuquitas, camotes y otras verduras endémicas de la región. Claro que se necesita un emparedado que este a la altura de las frituras exóticas y la torta cubana hace una muy buena combinación.
¡Buen provecho¡
We are so lucky in La Antigua Guatemala that almost every day of the year we can dine in the garden. The weather and temperatures conditions through out the year in Guatemala allow for outside dining. Of course, unless you rent an apartment or house in La Antigua Guatemala, the closest you can come to experience of the dining in the garden is if you visit the cafe at Vivero La Escalonia or Sabe Rico restaurant.
I am sure there are other restaurants with dining areas in the garden; can you share with us any other names?
Sabe Rico Restaurant, Chocolatería & Delicatessen is a great place to have delicious and nutritious breakfasts in La Antigua Guatemala. The range options goes from typical Guatemalan breakfast, tamales, et cetera all the way to fresh fruits and home-baked artisan bread slices with home-grown basil pesto and bacon.
The Sabe Rico large cup of coffee is HUGE; one of the largest cups of coffee I have ever seen. I am sure Starbucks’ largest size is much smaller than Sabe Rico large cup.
Another wonderful aspect of Sabe Rico is the fact that tables are randomly placed in a beautiful and quiet garden in the back of the restaurant.
Rudy, I discovered your blog as soon as I returned from a too-short 4 day trip to Guatemala in May 2006. Through your camera lens, you've taught me so much about the place that I fell in love with so quickly. I especially appreciate when you write your thoughts, observations, opinions, and give information about your subjects. You've given me true affection for the marimba through the music you've posted, & you've taken me on virtual trips back to La Antigua Guatemala through your videos and sound clips. You've challenged my ideas about Guatemala, and surprised me with the breadth of culture in your little city. Your blog is like a little vacation every day. Thank you so much for the years of absolute pleasure. You never disappoint; this is a big accomplishment! Congratulations, and please don't stop. —Janna
