No, it's not on the lake, no there is no view to the volcanos, but the food has been some of the best we ate in our week on Ometepe. The service was welcoming and fast, the location is chilled with reaggea music in the...background. We had the burrito and the asion veggie Wok and both has been way better than what you usually get. Sadly our hotel was on the other side of the island so we just had the chance to go there once. Definitely a must if you are in the area!More
Great place. Nice variation of dishes on the menu. Big chicken sandwich is truly amazing, just as the delicious pizza's. Clean and hygienic. Owner is always up for a talk, and the working staff is friendly and always smiling!
It takes 20 minutes to order and then over an hour before you get something to eat. So don’t go if hungry. Staff is friendly. Don’t sit at the first table unless you like being eaten by ants.
We stayed at El Bamboo in Balgue. Before we even arrived the service was already perfect! We where informed about the lack of atms on the island and we even had a pickup from the boat. Upon arrival it was all very relaxed, it was...just before dinnertime when we arrived so the owner really took his time to make us feel at home. The room it self, the Treehouse, looks amazing next to the lake and in between other treehouses. The bed is great but the shower is excellent! Unfortunately due to circumstances we had Té leave after 1 night instead of staying 4. The owner was very helpful and offered to pay us back the missing nights, we declined. As a thank you the owner said the dinner was free of charge, such a nice gesture! By the way, go here for the food! It’s amazing, also try the homemade Baileys! They offer a variation of yours but none seemed to fit our wishes, but that didn’t matter, they made ius a personal tour, again great service!! All in all, stay at El Bamboo, you won’t regret!More
We stayed on the island for two nights and chose to return both evenings. Both the food and the hospitality are fantastic. All dietary requirements can be accommodated. On both nights I enjoyed a vegan gluten free feast. Also the smoothies are phenomenal! Thank you
After a long journey to the island this place fed us with a great burrito, sandwich and some cold beer.
We had a very nice lunch at el bamboo. Great menu, lots of choices. Drinks were great. Staff is very nice. Worth a visit
Thank you very much for your review and give us the possibility to offer you the best of us. Thank you
We visited this place when staying at the Lazy Crab in Balgue. Great food and super friendly guy (whose name we didn’t catch!) who appears to run the place. Very reasonably priced. Would recommend trying the home made baileys which was delicious! A must visit...if you are in Ometepe.More
Thank you very much for your comment, my name is CHE, I'm glad you had a good experience in the bamboo enjoying our place and our work. Thank you, che
Ordered the homemade ravioli and it was delicious. I cannot believe such a place exists on this tiny island. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant actually had everything offered on the menu and they even make their own version of Baileys. Lovely experience.
turned up late one evening after getting too carried away with pre dinner drinks and finding everywhere closed. Even tho they had closed the kitchen, they were nice enough to whip us up some snacks! Went back for a breakfast and dinner during our stay...and they were always do happy and attentive with service (unlike soooo many other places on the island). Full meals were on point and very fairly priced... best place we found on the island by a long wayMore
