    This restaurant has a great atmosphere. The walls has artwork for sale done by the local artists. There is a variety of local and American foods on the menu. The staff is bi lingual and very pleasant. A perfect place for intimate concerts.

    Very cute place with friendly staff. We’ve been here for breakfast and twice for dinner. The prices are ok and the staff very friendly. The place just looks very nice with the small taes, locals hanging around and one night they also showed a documentation about local musicians on a beamer. Unfortunately the food was most of the time cold (meat, eggs, etc.) but anyway it was tasty. Felt a bit more like a Bistro (which maybe it is). The coffee there was great. Since the prices were ok, people and staff friendly and the food still tasty we would go again there in case we visit Granada a 2nd time.

    Fantastic place to get out of the heat and have a drink in the court yard. The food is great and they serve traditional drinks (Macua!) and craft beer. If you don’t speak much Spanish you will like it here, American music and they understand our Spanish/English mix!

    Great food and cocktails. Open outdoor seating, but nice and shady. Attached is a little shoppe that supports local artists and has nice souvenirs.

    I went to this place several times this January, and I really think this might the best place in Granada to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, ór just to have some drinks and relaxing. The food is delicious, and the menu is quite extensive. Not expensive. Nice vibe and friendly hosts! Recommend.

    Very nice place. Service was chaotic and slow but nice (maybe someone called off sick that day?). The food was good but anything served in a side container like sauce or condiments or beans was very, very smaĺl.

    Tastiest dinner spot in Granada. The service is fantastic, the food even better. We had a mix of traditional Nicaraguan food and Mexican. Cocktails are tasty and not over priced like other restaurants. We may even come back 2x in one day. Highly recommended.

    Lovely ambiente and dlicious food! The owner and the staff are verry lovely and atantive. We liked it so much here, that we changed from our hostal to stay in a private room in the back of the yard that the café offers for 18$/night. The room is clean and comfy. We highly recomand gallo pinto café! Thanx for the grat time!!! We'll be back some day in the future for sure :-)

    we were led to this place by our hostal owner and were not dissapointed. The food is nice and the prices are ok comparing the rather small dishes (main+desert). The cocktails however were super nice! The staff is very friendly and speaks english! The location is also very nice.

    Awesome little place to stop for food and drinks! It's very beautiful inside with cool decor, the staff were also so friendly. Local food and also very tourist friendly food (menu in español and english). Please eat here if you're in the area, you will not regret it!

    Love this place! During my visit, we ate there daily. Good presentation, great flavor, the menu has enough to entice visitors but also keeps it local. The old house were it is located is well kept and eating by the patio and the breeze was delightful. The employees were also very thorough and kind and they have this little dog, Shaggy, that is cute as can be. I would go back, no doubt.

    This is a very clean and warm place. The food is delicious and they have a big and delicious coctails menú. Nacatamales are my favorite as the Pinol and Tiste.

    Cute place with a range of food options. The quesadillas were fresh and tasted good but the fruit in the smoothie tasted a bit old.

  • 5/5 Julie C. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food and friendly service. We went here for my son’s birthday dinner and it was delicious. The churassco was particularly good. Will be back to try their breakfast!

  • 5/5 Stephanie C. 4 years ago on Google
    Free WiFi! I got an agua fresca with fresh watermelon juice, fresh made guacamole, and tostadas with mushrooms. No single use plastic straws won my heart! Enclosed are pictures of the beautiful coffee art for sale!

😠 Nice meal ruined by scam on the bill. We ordered the fish ceviche (which is $8 USD) on the menu. Our waiter recommended the ceviche mixto (mixed fish and shrimp), although it was not menu. We agreed to switch to the mixto and had our meal. When the bill came there was an $18 USD charge on the bill f...

👍👍 Lovely breakfast and a large filling serving. I had #28 which was 2 eggs, gallo pinto (yummy beans and rice) and a huge slice of toast. They provided butter and jam on the side. I asked for poached eggs that were perfectly cooked. My companions had #27 and #30. All delicious and perfectly cook...
