Leaf Eaters Cafe is an oceanfront vegetarian café on Isla Carenero, Bocas del Toro, just a short water taxi ride from Bocas Town. Guests love the dreamy setting over crystal-clear water and the colorful, flavorful plates, and it is regularly named among the top places to eat in the islands.
The menu is all vegetarian, creative and generous, so even meat eaters leave happy. If someone in your group wants seafood, The Big Fish shares the same waterfront property and serves grilled fish sandwiches and salads. Between the food, the view and the relaxed pace, it is a lovely lunch stop on a day exploring Carenero, and one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Bocas del Toro.
Leaf Eaters Cafe is open Sat to Wed from 11:30am to 4pm, and closed on Thursdays and Fridays.
