About The Owners:

Sophie and Louis, two friends both from Europe (Belgium and France), moved to Nicaragua a couple of years ago and decided to take over Simon Says and refresh the concept! They created the famous monthly Full Moon Party at Simon Says, a vibrant bar for pop-ups events, Sunday brunches, healthy food for early breakfast to late lunch and smoothies galore.

Sophie created and invested a lot of time in decorating the space, and gave rise to the Simon Says as you know it today; while Louis adjusted the systems, countability, and gave a common goal to the team.

Louis is now back to Europe, and Sophie ready for a new chapter, making Simon Says the ideal turnkey business for those looking to relocate to San Juan del Sur! Now is the time for new owners to take over this unique restaurant, and why not push Simon Says to the next level (open for evenings? Cocktail / Jazz bar?).
