Cathy’s Waffle House in Granada, Nicaragua
Last Sunday, under the auspice of ‘going out for an American breakfast’, my family and I went out to pick up my new classical guitar. Hehehehe…..As it turned out, we just went to breakfast…….not just any breakfast, mind you, but an authentic American breakfast.
I’m talking pecan waffles, Denver omelettes, chocolate pancakes, home fries, eggs any way you want them…..’the works’.
Cathy’s Waffle House on a busy Sunday morning
All this time, we’ve been living in Managua, and I didn’t know that if you just got on the highway (a little two-lane affair for those unfamiliar with Central American ‘highways’) and go towards Lake Nicaragua until you get to the beautiful colonial city of Granada.

Once you get to Granada’s main square, just mutter these words to any local….Podria decirme donde esta Cathy’s Waffle House? Any just like that, you too can be eating flapjacks with Aunt Jemina syrup, enjoying bottomless cups of American coffee, and even order a 1/2 pound cheeseburger if you’re feeling a little crazy…..
Some satisfied customers
Ahh, like everything else in this country, it isn’t what it seems………

Oooh, Grenada! It’s my favorite place in Nicaragua. There’s some fabulous food there - we should have gone with you guys. You have to go back for a weekend so you can take it all in. Stay at Patio del Malinche (pretty, quiet, excellent hosts, nice swimming pool, centrally heated water and split A/C units), have lunch at the little hole-in-the-wall Mexican place called Tequila Vallarta (fantastic margaritas, chips and salsa and chicken burritos), dinner is best at Casa San Francisco (near the blue church - everything is good - this chef has a real passion and real talent to back it up), dessert is wonderful at Cafe DecArte (Canadian owner makes awesome cake and pie - get the Tres Amigos sampler plate), breakfast is at Cathy’s (of course).
Oh, and be sure to check out the Idol Hall in the museum at Convento San Francisco.
OK, that’s all. Go back to Grenada now that you know where to go.
