This is really a great place to eat. The owner greater us at the door and shared with us her story of coming to Nicaragua 12 years ago and her passion for teaching locals to eat good food with lots of vegetables. She offers a full menu with both vegetarian and regular meals. I had the eggplant bruschetta to start... More

We'd read several reviews online before trying Ola Verde, so we went in with high expectations and we were not disappointed! Everything was wonderful... and we tried several of the dishes (our party of 5 we were sampling from each others' plates all evening, and it seemed that everyone's meals were fabulous). The hands-down favourite was the beef carpaccio appetizer... More

We live in Managua and wanted to try this out for a while. We tried the vegetarian tapas plate and king prawns in tequila sauce.The taste was excellent and the different vegetarian dishes were just amazing, very creative and delicious. The service was excellent, we got an extra shot of vodka in the cocktail as it was not strong enough... More

I visited this restaurant 3 times, in their new location (they have recently moved). The idea and intention to have a health conscious offer in the Managua restaurant world is great. The make great juices but the food is rather insipid. It is also very expensive. The deserts look amazing but once you try them, again... not very tasty. Service... More

Definitely the best choice for healthy food in Managua! Tired of rice and beans? Go to La Ola Verde, the best fusion cuisine in town with a true concern for health, nutrition and good taste. Excellent service, pleasant environment, easy access. I go back everytime I visit Managua.

We loved this place. It had amazing options for my wife (a vegetarian) and was all about organic everything. There was a little garden attached to it, where they were selling coffee, vegetables, ect. The quesadillas were AMAZING. This place is hipster, they just don't know it yet. The atmosphere was very chill, way more than we expected. The cocktails... More

I was worried I would not find healthy, organic, and delicious dining options in Managua, so I was thrilled when I found out about Ola Verde. The restaurant is airy, nicely decorated, and clean. The options are great and the chef's creativity are praise worthy. Loved the local salmon, pureed yuca, and vegan ceviche. The market was a highlight. Stocked... More

We appreciate your feedback and are of course happy you were so satisfied with Ola Verde. One goal of the business is to broaden consumer interest in the uses of vegetables, spices, herbs and other ingredients grown in Nicaragua in order to motivate healthy and ecologically sustainable dietary practices. We put salmon on the menu, knowing that it violates the... More

On the evening of March 3, my friend Rubin dropped me off so I could enjoy dinner and catch up on wi-fi before leaving for States the next day. I started off with a cold gazpacho verde, which was excellent. I was taking my time ordering, and to my surprise, a lady arrived tableside and asked me about my dining... More

Ola Verde is a unique restaurant in Managua, Carla the American owner is a nutrition expert and consultant. It is not a vegetarian restaurant but a good place for vegetarians. The atmosphere is really nice and pleasant, service needs a bit improvement.

I'm a vegetarian but most of my friends and family are not. This is the perfect place for us. I've had the vietnamese tofu, the vegetable curry and a couple of the pastas and they've all been dellicious and filling. The vegetarian ceviche particularly I thought was very unique and tasty. The juices are creative and unique, I can sit... More
