Most of the better restaurants are in the central area around the plaza. Films are shown at the cinema on 3 Calle, half a block west of the plaza.

Café Jardín , 4 C and 6 Av. Friendly place serving inexpensive but excellent breakfasts, milkshakes, pancakes and the usual chicken and beef dishes.

Hotel Central , 5 Av 1-33. Very tasty, inexpensive set meals, and a particularly good breakfast.

La Cabaña del Café , 2 Calle, opposite Hotel Vásquez . Logwood café with an excellent range of coffees (including cappuccino), great cakes and a few snacks.

La Fonda de Don Juan , 2 C 5-35. Attractive place with gingham tablecloths, serving good, if slightly pricey, pizza and pasta, and a reasonable range of beers.

Mi Tierra , 4 C 6-46. Attractive little restaurant set in a covered patio with nice decor and a good atmosphere. The flavoursome menu is more imaginative than most - great for house salads, churrascos (barbecued meat) and cheesecake - plus very cheap and healthy breakfasts. Also has Internet facilities and a good noticeboard.
