Darinia's Kitchen

Top choice in Little Corn Island


For a truly local experience in the Village, reserve an evening meal at this ambitious and eclectic supper club. Self-taught Managua transplant Darinia cooks up a four-course feast that can easily accommodate vegetarians and vegans at her simple alfresco dining table. Food is superb, featuring fresh vegetable, fish and seafood dishes with a Thai bent and excellent desserts.

You'll be dining at one large table, often with several other people, which makes this a very sociable night out. Darinia speaks good English and usually joins guests at the table for relaxed drinks and conversation once she's finished cooking.
