León


León's vegetarian hot spot. This colorful eatery offers ample portions of vegetable curry, Indonesian noodles and more, in the relaxed surrounds of an old colonial house. There are a few meat dishes (cooked in separate pans and served with separate cutlery) to keep the carnivores happy, and a leafy patio; the most popular tables are on the front porch.
