I came across Hector's Bistro while walking around Antigua and decided to give it a try simply based on appearance from the street.

Right as I entered, I was warmly greeted and welcomed by staff. I sat on the 2nd floor, overlooking the interior courtyard. It was a great way to enjoy dinner while also people watching (if you enjoy doing that).

I ordered the French Onion soup, and it was amazing with the cheese perfectly toasted! I did not think it needed more salt as others have posted, but everyone has their own taste palette.

For my main course, I ordered the roasted duck breast, which is served on top of roasted grapes and a potato/carrot au gratin. The seasoning on the duck was perfect and it paired so well with the roasted grapes. The potato/carrot au gratin was something I have personally never had before but it was pleasantly delicious.

For dessert I ordered the Créme Brulée with Kahlua. Due to time, I ordered this to go and did not eat until later. It was good but I can not give this a fair review as I believe it would have been much better at the restaurant, fresh from the kitchen.

I doubt anyone from Hector's Bistro reads these reviews, but if so, I would personally like to give "Fernando" a personal shout out. He was my server and he gave me such great service. He was very attentive but not bothersome. I do not like to be bothered too much while eating, but I also do not like to have to track someone. Fernando did a great job and made my evening at Hector's absolutely perfect!

Thank you Fernando and to the rest of the staff behind the scene at Hector's Bistro. I look forward to returning to Guatemala and specifically, Antigua so that I may try another delicious dish.
