The Cornerhouse

Reviewed By Orisha525 - Munich, Germany

If you want to meet other backpackers from all over the world this the place to go. You can bet yhat you get the same food & drinks as in L.A., London, Montreal or Zurich - and at the same price.
The management makes a very clear statement that locals are not welcome - the prices are shown in USD on the menu.
If you want to pay in local currency a table calculator is used to calculate thr second digit of the price!
I wonder why you should order a simple batido en agua priced 2 USD (ice content 70 %) if you get the same drink around the corner for 20 Cordoba.
I also wonder why some people want to visit Ometepe only to order iced capuccino.

Had a very nice lunch here. Passion fruit juice - fresh thick and pure. Garden salad of ultra fresh greens. I wouldn’t doubt they went out to pick them especially for us.
We had the specialty: fettuccine with chicken - freshly made noodles, perfectly done.
Slow food done well. One of our mates got a hamburger. It looked and smelled great and since there was nothing left on his plate, I concluded that it was delicious too

Comedor Jackeling

Reviewed By AvalancheChief - Seattle

Nestled on the shore of Lake Nicaragua, Comedor Jackeling is dirt floors, dim light bulbs, and rattling tin roof with palm fronds. If you're coming here for the ambiance, no. Just no.
Santa Domingo has a cluster of restaurants but this one is the gem. The portions are enormous, the food is well prepared, the national beer is cheap and cold, the view of the lack is amazing, and the bathrooms are clean.
You can get out of here with beers for 200 to 250 Cordoba per person, depending on what you order and how much you drink. Two-hundred Cordoba is about $6, for a huge dinner, and a couple of cold ones.
One word of advice. Ometepe is pretty underdeveloped as an island, even by Nicaraguan standards. If you are staying past Santa Cruz on the Maderas side of the island where all the roads are dirt, I would not drive, motorbike or bike after dark unless you are very familiar with the area and a competent driver/rider. It isn't a crime issue, it's a safety issue due to the road conditions south of Santa Cruz.

Mar Dulce

Reviewed By Pat5150 - Montreal

I had just returned from a grueling hike to the summit of the Concepcion Volcano and I was starving. One of the members of our group had had dinner there the night before, so I decided to give Mar Dulce a shot.
Service is friendly and with a smile, both in Spanish and English.
Went for the filet mignon beef skewer with vegetables, rice, fries, and rice, for onle 250C$. Portions are huge, so for that mount it can only be considered a steal! The food was absolutely delicious and I made short work of my dinner. Washed it down with a beer and then had a smoothie for dessert. All in all, for only 320C$, which is only a little over 11$!
I checked the plates of the other customers and they were pretty big as well. Mar Dulce just might be the best value in town!
You can definitely find cheaper, true. But not better, not at this price range.
Thinking of going back tonight!

Rancho Morgan Food & Drinks

Reviewed By Oatgirl12 - New Berlin, Wisconsin

We had a larger breakfast and weren't too hungry. We had rented bikes in Moyogalpa and were looking for something to grab our attention on our ride to Charco Verde. We saw their sign that mentioned homemade yogurt and for whatever reason, decided that appealed to us and rode that way. We rolled into a very cute beachside dwelling with picnic tables. We both ordered the fruit/granola/yogurt, though they were actually out of the yogurt. That didn't matter one bit to us. We were served large dinner plates FULL of cut up fresh fruit sprinkled with granola. Talk about hitting the spot! Pineapple, papaya, starfruit, watermelon, cantaloupe, & banana, and plenty of it. The granola itself was quite tasty. We were SO happy we chose this place to eat!

Argentinian grill, homemade pasta, vegetarian and vegan, grilled whole lake fish. We make our own bread, tofu, sauces, munchies, etc. organic cofee, iced cofee. spoken english. Cocktails, Argentine and Chilean wines, national beers, natural fruit smoothies. moonchine, home made baileys. The best music and atmosphere.

Reviewed By meg-a-doodle27 - Nottingham, United Kingdom

Always great, friendly service with staff who know how to whistle while they work and adapt the music to suit their audience.
The menu is varied and plentiful- from cervice, through BLTs to the quintessencial mixed grill. The prices are suitable to all budgets and the sizes will satisfy even the most ravenous of island hikers and explorers. Their big sandwiches are the best fillers on a smaller budget.
They usually have great fish specials depending on the recent catches of local fish(would)men.
Their smoothie menu is as varied as they come and can be made with water, milk or coconut milk(recommended).
Finally I must mention their homemade baileys- as sweet as they say. Mix with coffee as an excuse to enjoy at whatever time of day!

Rancho Sabor Isleno

Reviewed By Livja - Ghent, Belgium

This place offers free wifi and has a very nice atmosphere, but do not be fooled by this! We waited an hour for a coffee and toasts here and when they brought it, it was not what we ordered and not tasty. More than an hour into our visit and still no coffee... Avoid if you can.

restaurante buon appetito pizza and grill

Reviewed By T-SGlobetrotters - Preston, Lancashire

Appealing restaurants looked in quite short supply down the main street in Moyogolpa. We chose Buon Appetito, it had nice music playing inside the restaurant, with an attractive interior which provided quite a nice ambiance. We chose two pasta dishes, cheese ravioli and pasta with mushrooms and tomato, both were very good, beer was cold and the service polite. There are a couple of tables outside by the road but we opted to eat inside. They also accept credit cards.

El Picante Mexican Restaurant

El Picante provides delicious Mexican cuisine and service. Located right past the port it is the first or last place to eat when traveling to Ometepe Island. Enjoy spicy or mild nachos, fajitas, quesadillas, and more while you decide on future activities or after a long day of adventures.

Reviewed By rapha_y_nici - Canton of Zurich, Switzerland

Due to the good reviews we decided to come here. The service was very friendly and quick. The enchiladas and the quesadillas were delicious and also the house sauce was great! The big beer was a liter bottle what is a very fair price. My girlfriend wanted a salad (which they didn’t have) but I could convince her to take the enchiladas and she was very happy afterwards. The only thing which was a bit strange is the lack of guacamole but I guess it was just bad luck on this day. Everything else was great, good value for money. Would come again and recommend it.
