Catedral De Leon Nicaragua
Catholic cathedral
👍👍 Beautiful place! Definitely go on the rooftop. The ticket office is on the east side of the Cathedral and the entrance to go upstairs is on the northwest side (across from McDonald's).

Coco Calala
Vegetarian restaurant
👍👍 Whenever hungry & wanting to rest, Coco Calala is offering the best: - refreshing juices, nourishing smoothies, tasty plant based salads, tacos, & yummy burger meals. People love it & we (my husband and I) loved it too, for days. It’s probably the most exotic place to be while visiting Leòn.

La Puesta del Sol Restaurante y Cabañas
Italian restaurant
👍👍 Best Italian food we had during our trip in Nicaragua. The bruschetta were really tasty. We also had a pasta carbonara that was really good and nice portion. We finished with a tiramisu dessert, very good! Would recommend coming here for some food. It's maybe a but pricy, but worth it in my opinion.

👍 We enjoyed it! We went for breakfast and tried the brioche French toast, bacon, cheese, and egg croissant sandwich, and their Greek yogurt. All of it was good, but could have been better with a few tweaks. Their croissants and other French bakery items are definitely influenced by the location, so d...
