We went here towards the end of lunch service so the welcome was probably not as gushing as earlier in the day. However as we know the food on offer is super fresh and locally produced it is always worth a visit. This time was...no exception. Great menu, very tasty, limited drinks.More

Food was lovely, we got sandwiches that were delicious with salad on the side. Very weird sombre atmosphere, not a place that has a nice vibe to chill and enjoy lunch in. How and ever, the food was nice.

This restaurant has a very inviting menu. The freshness, combinations and flavors are premium. The salad was a real true salad meal; an actual big bowel of salad, not a token gesture of pretty greens. If you appreciate tasty, healthy, creatively paired dishes, this is...a must go to.More

Excellent family lunch here, very welcoming and nearly all produce production is within their control. This makes for ultra fresh dishes that are simply delicious. Well worth a visit and very good value.

I ordered the tandoori chicken pita sandwich , and my sister had a roast beef sandwich. Both were very tasty! Ingredients are very fresh, and the sandwiches are served with a green salad or coleslaw. The tandoori chicken is amazing, and the chutney it is...served with packs a lot of flavor and just the right amount of spice. The roast beef on my sister’s sandwich was very tender and also delicious, and served on a chewy roll. The menu changes often, so is written on a chalkboard. All the choices sounded great and I had a hard time choosing one. Prices are very reasonable. I wish we had tried this superb restaurant earlier during our stay in Granada!More

Great owners and best food in town. I had the best sandwich that I have ever had yesterday. If I could get to Granada ore often I would like to try everything on their menu. The owners are always wonderful to talk with when they’re...not just covered up working.

This is a very nice looking restaurant which is popular with the expat community. They have covid protocols in place and their seating is well spaced. It is an indoor restaurant but they have large windows and good airflow. When we came for lunch on...a public holiday they were at capacity for eat in dining, but that was fine with us as we wanted take away. Most of their ingredients are sourced from their farm and their menu changes regularly. We had the Bangkok Pork Burger and Tandoori Chicken Pita. The food was a bit slow to be prepared, but it was made with care and packed with flavour. Both meals came with your choice of salad or coleslaw. The meals were surprisingly filling. Prices are a bit on the high side, but are in line with expat run businesses. The quality of the food is excellent. They also sell a select number of deli items such as bagels and ham.More

Disappointed by the salad I picked. It’s basically only green salad with few nice stuff.. barely goat cheese, a tiny piece of avocado, 3 slices of cucumber and so on.. It is at that point not profitable to make a well garnished salad?!

Only open for lunch El Garaje serves the best food in Granada and honestly it's not even really that close. These two humble owners are making everything from scratch with a ton of talent and care. Their meats and vegetables are all incredibly fresh but...the real standout here is the bakery. This woman knows her baked goods. Do yourself a favor and get any of the sandwiches on their sourdough or their other sandwich bread. The roll is solid too- but the sandwich bread PERFECTLY toasted with delicious fillings? Just amazing. I had the reuben today, made with a house braised pork belly. Insane. Go to here.More

I have been underwhelmed with the food since arriving in Nicaragua. Today I had the pleasure to eat lunch at El Garaje. Not only were the owners friendly, the open kitchen and dining area Immaculate, the food was an explosion of flavor. Varied menu that...ensures you will find something exciting to try.

It has been a while since I ate at El Garaje but I am so glad that the fresh food and amazing quality has remained the same. This time I ordered the corned beef sandwich and it surpassed my expectations. When I asked about my...sandwich, the server told me the corned beef is house cured and my side salad came straight from the farm. It doesn't get any better than that. Highly Recommend!More

Farm fresh ingredients come directly from the owners’ farm to your plate. And it’s not all vegetables ... wonderfully creative sandwiches and sausages and cheeses. It’s a lovely lunch spot. Open only for lunch and I believe only Monday through Friday, although check before you...go. Not too far from center city Granada ... walking distance from the Calzada. It’s a must go.More

My partner and I visited this restaurant for lunch after reading good reviews online. We were both extremely impressed with the restaurant, the staff were lovely and helpful, the place was extremely clean, and most of all the food was excellent. The food was made...in sight of our table and was presented very well. All of the ingredients were fresh and each dish home made. The tandoori chicken was exceptional. If we're ever in the area again, we will most definitely visit.More
