I have been going to Sobremesa for at least 3 years and in all that time I have never had a bad meal. Across the street is a museum and a public restroom so when Da Mamo said the waiter was watching a football game across the street I don't know where the waiter would be watching a TV across... More

Me and my friends came to Sobremesa two weeks ago (April 13) after reading the great comments in Trip Advisor. We were quite delighted with our choice. We tried different dishes. By far, the best one was the "Lomito con salsa de higos and ajo". One of the finest meals I have tried. The lomito just melts in your mouth!... More

I am so glad you liked it! Thank you for coming! About the cheesecake, our regular cheesecake is Q30 but the one you had (Pumpkin Cheesecake with Cognac Ice Cream) has ingredients that are more difficult to obtain, and cognac itself is expensive, so I have to charge a bit more. I am glad it was worth it! More

A very small restaurant but full of personality (that goes for the owner too) - the food was great! After shopping in the area we stumble in this small but gracious restaurant. The sangria was about the best I've had and if you don't like cheesecake - give this a chance. You will be surprised!

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and from the reviews I read here on TripAdvisor, were intrigued. we were very happy with what we found.

We stopped for a quick lunch and had a tasty pizza and some nice wine/drinks. Restaurant has some lovely artwork for sale and has a great spot on the square. Owner is very welcoming and clearly passionate about his food and restaurant. Later in the afternoon we stopped at the ice cream shop they also have and had a delicious... More

We ducked into Sobremesa while out chasing alfombras during Semana Santa. The owner/ host is a hard working Bahamian guy with a great feel for what makes a good restaurant. The thin crust pizza was quick and delicious. Comfortable dining room with a view of the world passing by the door. Right off the Plaza. We gathered up some friends... More

First, the location of this place is right off the park and easy to find. The vibe inside is nice, arty, clean and cozy. The owner is a hard working guy with a healthy sense of humor. He made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed our pizza so much that when more of our friends arrived in town for Semana... More

You crazy Texans were a lot of fun, and I still turn red thinking about how that bottle exploded all over your friend. It's like that world-wide conspiracy that is out to make me look stupid (trust me, there is one--it can't ALL be my fault) managed to infiltrate my fridge and shake that beer up like a Polaroid pictcha,...

Right by the park, this place offers great wines, spirits and beers as well as yummy ice cream. The food is international and typical. They have unicorn in the menu as well as giraffe. It tasted like chicken, but really good!! Creamy cheesecake and their ice creams are originals. Is a place that you should try for lunch or dinner.

My friend wanted to go here, since she read good reviews. The giraffe and unicorn listed on the menu were indications of the interaction with Alex, who is a hoot. We laughed a lot. The food was generally delicious. Service was excellent. The only reason I made it very good instead of excellent is that one of the filets at... More

I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves! It's a shame that no one told me about the tough filet though because giving a tough piece of meat is our version of the lottery. One in a million people are given one and, if they mention it, receive a grand prize! If you want to contact me through our website, remind me... More

Ate here for lunch with 5 friends. Best food we have had in Guatemala and definitely the best croque madam I have ever eaten (even in all of Europe). This is a must-stop restaurant when you are in Antigua. The ice cream is also to die for. Cannot go wrong here.
