Kandil | Pizza y Café — Restaurant in Lempira

My family and I found this place on a trip to the thermal waters nearby. It was Friday night and we were very hungry and this place provided such great service and great entertainment. The food was excellent. I would say their specialty is pizza. There was a big selection on their pizza menu, they also had sandwiches, wings, etc. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I would say though that a reservation would be necessary. We experienced a wait time of 15-20 minutes for not making a reservation. It was our first time and we learned from that. However, once our table for a group of 10 was ready, the wait felt worthwhile. This place would be great for a date, a small birthday gathering, and of course a family outing. Live music was part of our evening, creating a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. I recommend it, a place you might want to experience.

The downside of it is perhaps the parking. It is a little dark in the area and if you are driving the streets are much narrower so parking is somewhat difficult to find. We parked about 1 block away in an even darker place. Once you arrive at the restaurant to enter you must go up 2 very high steps, I didn't see any other entrance.

Not great. I’ve been a few times now it’s been disappointing. The ambiance is good - the food, unfortunately, is not. And they charge a hell of a lot for it! Good pizzas in London start at about L150. In Kandil you would be lucky to escape without spending L450 per pizza.

For these prices, quality can’t be an afterthought. But the pizza tastes like it’s been frozen, the dough is soggy, the cheese flavourless, and meat gristly.

That being said, the best pizza I’ve had in the world is Honduran AND relatively close by. 10-01 Diez Cero Uno in La Esperanza is great. When I get pizza pangs I now schedule a weekend trip there and it’s worth it every time. Or...

Cute place, simple menu serving pizza or chicken wings mainly. Very expensive ... ordered a side of vegetables and got few stripes of carrots and celery ... the personal pizza is not enough for one person. By the time we left we paid as much as we would have in London as they charge VAT (15%) and service (10%). Pizza is not traditional wood oven as you know it but nice with good quality ingredients. Wings and wedges + potatoes were enjoyable. Asked for a bit of chipotle sauce and were charged 1 USD for it. I don’t mind paying for a quality meal but this really...
