Hector's Bistro
A French bistro that moved from across from La Merced church to downtown; duck breast and onion soup are favorites in local food circles.
This French bistro began as a small shop opposite La Merced Church and moved in December 2020 to a larger space at 6a Calle Poniente 24, sharing a location with Cerveceria 14. The menu has expanded from early offerings of duck breast, steak and braised beef to include pizza, pasta and salads. Signature dishes include baked duck breast with potatoes and carrots, French onion soup and a sea-and-land platter. Gluten-free pasta can be made. Local guides rank it near the top. Reservations are needed on weekends and during Holy Week, and phone booking is more reliable than online booking.
