The village of Copan has a variety of restaurants all located within a couple of blocks of the Central Square. Most eateries specialize in local fare, simple hearty meals based on fresh, local ingredients such as grilled chicken or beef, beans, rice, country cream, fried bananas, pickled veggies and requisite tortillas. For non-meat eaters there is locally farm grown tilapia fish which are fried whole to a golden crusty brown. Washed down with a local pilsner beer or a fresh whipped tropical shake and you have the makings of a Copan style country feast. Weekend evenings, strolling mariachi bands serenade diners for tips. For those seeking a hit of home there is pizza, veggie burgers and Asian inspired dishes. |

The town is small and friendly and very safe for travellers to walk at any hour day or night. The Copanecos, as the locals are called, are well known for their warm, laid back hospitality towards guests. Many visitors remark that Copan is one of the loveliest, safest, most inspiring towns they’ve visited in Central America! |
