Le Papagayo Leucadia Restaurant

Le Papagayo Leucadia blends Mediterranean and Latin American cooking in a dining room styled like an art gallery. The menu runs from breakfast and lunch through dinner, and regulars point to the crab cake salad, the lobster bisque, the Eggs Benedict and a sangria made with frozen fruit instead of ice. The drinks list includes local draft beers, and the bar is a popular spot for watching games.

Live music plays Tuesday through Saturday evenings, so the room stays lively on those nights. Seating includes indoor tables, a shaded outdoor patio and bar seats. Reservations can be made online, and parties of 25 or more book separately for a private room. Gift cards are available. The restaurant sits on North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia.
