From the sublime to the average, but all in their own way distinctive.
Under the sublime category is "A La Luz de la Luz," operated
by the Marinos who have served the pope, King Carlos and King Gustav.
The restaurant has a stately ambience which is embellished by roaming
peacocks, ostriches and geese. The "Ajijic Grill" features
a Beneihana-style dinner which is famous for its lamb chops. The "Nueva
Posada" is consistently good, and also has the best rates on quality
hotel rooms at Lakeside. Another good restaurant is "Borsalino´s"
with its fine veal picata and delightful ambience. For fresh fish, the
"Cozumel" and "Jeff´s" on the east pier of
Chapala serves up the finest in seafood fare. Other quality restaurants
are "Diana´s de Italia" and the "Roca Azul,"
whose Sunday brunch includes superb eggs-Benedict and champagne; "Los
Telares" in Ajijic, "Trattoria de Giovanni" on the highway,
and the "Japanese Sushi Bar." The big city of Guadalajara
is less than an hour´s drive away, and features literally hundreds
of excellent restaurants--but why drive that far when you can enjoy
the finest dining right here at Lakeside? (Morgan Bedford is the foreign representative for American International Banking Group of Antigua, and is a regular columnist for El Ojo del Lago.)
