Surely the city’s finest restaurant is at the Quinta Real Hotel. Dine in elegance in this tiered restaurant over looking a bull ring. The Continental Plaza hotel has a good restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the Mesón del Jobito has a lovely dining room. Other choices include La Cuija (international). El Paraiso (regional Zacatecas), and Zacatecas Grill (international and regional dishes).

LODGING

Despite the city’s wealth of fascinating visitor attractions, the offering of international class lodging is limited. Nonetheless, Zacatecas is home to two fine deluxe properties, and bevy of 4-and 3-star inns.
