Farm-to-Table Organic Restaurant in Ometepe

Welcome to El Zopilote, where permaculture, natural food, and culinary creativity come together. Our organic restaurant in Ometepe serves 100% vegetarian and vegan dishes prepared fresh daily with ingredients harvested directly from our 7-hectare farm and local island producers. Our daily menu features healthy plates, fresh salads with over 30 garden plants, homemade sourdough bread, and artisanal desserts. You can also enjoy our organic herbal teas harvested from the farm for digestion and wellness. 

Organic Farm-Grown Mushrooms: Our Specialty

One of the highlights of our menu is our organic oyster mushrooms (pleurotus), cultivated right here on the farm at our mushroom project. Low in calories and fat, highly nutritious, and rich in taste, we feature fresh oyster mushrooms across many of our dishes, from sautéed mushroom starters, vegan ravioli with pink oyster mushrooms, and mushroom chorizo sandwiches to special coffee and tea infusions with Reishi.

Famous Wood-Fired Pizza Nights

Every Tuesday and Saturday from 6:00 PM, El Zopilote hosts its famous Pizza Night. We serve crispy, wood-fired sourdough pizzas baked under the stars, including custom gluten-free yuca bases and our signature Funghi Pizza made with our freshly harvested mushrooms. 

Natural Farm Products & The Bushop

Beyond the restaurant, El Zopilote produces a wide array of natural goods. At our unique Bushop, housed inside a restored 1978 yellow bus, you can find homemade medicinal herbs, natural cosmetics, organic jams, artisan chocolates, and unique handcrafted items made right on the farm.
