If there is one restaurant you have to try while visiting La Ceiba it is Playa Taty’s. It has been open for going on two years now, and is open 7 days a week for dinner (not for lunch).
Playa Taty’s has everything going on that you would expect from a beach restaurant: bright colors, a palm leaf roof, a little patio thing overlooking the beach. The atmosphere is quite relaxing, which puts you in the perfect mindset to enjoy some good food!
In a country where service isn’t exactly priority on anyone’s list, Playa Taty’s does it right. I have never heard complaints of the wait or kitchen staff, which is a great sign! (Many speak English and Spanish, although not all do.)
The menu serves up a decent variety, with the bright spot being the seafood dishes, considering we are right on the beach. Chicken, steak and pork are all on the menu, which is a mix of like a Creole – Caribbean style plates. The food is a little pricier than many restaurants in La Ceiba, but it is definitely worth it. You may pay less elsewhere, but you also get less.
Appetizers are about average on the price scale (around $5), but decently sized. Most of the entrees are served with a side dish and a salad. The salads aren’t your typical Honduran style either; they are actually fresh green salads served with your choice of dressing!
Don’t pass up the dessert either… my vote is for the coconut raisin peanut brownies sundae… yummm.
Seriously, eating at Playa Taty’s is better than pretty much anywhere else you could choose in La Ceiba, so give it a shot. It is in the Zona Viva, one block east of the Quinta Real hotel.
