Pleasent Experience - Edit
Set inside a beautiful heritage building this restaurant shouldn't be missed while exploring Leon. Most meals on the menu and vegetarian or vegan so you will be spoilt for choice.
Read moreI tried the Moroccan chickpea curry which is served with salad, rice and tortillas as well as the daily special of the Malaysian favourite Gado Gado served with satay sauce, side, egg and vegetables.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of both meals which featured a great blend of spices, fresh ingredients and large servings.
Our waiter was lovely and the wait for the food was not too long either. I will be returning back to this one very soon.
Most meals are between 8 and 10 USD which is on the pricier side for Leon.
Pros: Good selection of meals , Nice Decor , Good quality meals
Cons: On the pricy side

didn't fulfill my expectations - Edit
I was really excited to visit this place. the ambiente is super nice, but staff and food isn't. they hardly spoke with us or anything. we had a swuadh soup fordt which was alright. my biyfiend then had the bani mani noodles, didn't have much taste. i had the nicaraguan dish, with plantains, rice and salad. was alright, but just not what I expected. I would not go there again.

Good local cuisine - Edit
It was nice to be able to try a vegan version of a traditional Nicaraguan dish! I had the vegetable viejo. The deep fried plantain it came with was delicious. It was 210 cordobas for the meal.

Wonderful Lunch - Edit
I was on a one day, cathedral visit to Leon. The restaurant was very easy to find and was across the street from one of the cathedrals on my list. The atmosphere was very relaxing and calming after spending a very hot and dusty day outside. The menu was large and easy to read and understand. The owner made me a Fresh Frozen Lemonade Drink and it was so delicious.
Read moreI really enjoyed my lunch and was so full I could not finish my whole meal. I highly recommend the CocinArte.
Pros: Friendly staff, Great Food, Good Pricing

Great typical dish! - Edit
It was easier to find than expected. We got a map from the hostel where the restaurant was pinpointed. It's about a 10 to 15 min walk from the center.
Read moreI had a hard time choosing because they offer so many good things (: At the end I went for a typical nicaraguan dish (indio viejo), but veg style with tofu. I liked that they offer some typical dishes.
Food was good, price ok.
They lose a star because they say to be a vegetarian restaurant but do offer some non-vegetarian dishes with chicken.

They Care About Food - Edit
This maybe the only veg restaurant in town and was recommended by the nice people at Hostel Tortuga Booluda. The Dutch manager Kris was great, she truly loves food, we talked about ingredients for awhile like that crispy onion garlic topic on her favorite dish, Bami Mani. It's a hearty Indonesian plate of noodles and cabbage, highlighted by a spicy peanut sauce. Kris was helpful with travel tips and also tipped me off to Cafetin Don Jack's for some veg options, run by a Canadian who was a partner at CocinArte before, a great recommendation. Prices are mid-ranged (180-200 Cordoba mains). The restaurant is quiet, set off from the main square but not hard to find. It gets very busy at dinner, so don't be in a rush as their menu is complex.
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere, Good portions, Love for food
Cons: Gets slammed at dinner

We ate several times at this restaurant. The food is prepared fresh, very tasty and the servings are huge. The setting is very quaint with wooden tables and an indoor/outdoor patio with a garden. Highly recommended.
