Café Arte

This eclectic and arty spot wears many hats. It's part gallery, part cafe, part bar, part performance space, and part restaurant. And it seems to excel on almost all fronts, so be sure to stop in here if you're in Ibarra. In addition to showing the owner's own work, this large space often has rotating exhibits of local and visiting artists. The menu ranges from sandwiches and burgers to grilled mountain trout and filet mignon. There are a host of Mexican-style plates, including tacos and burritos, and specialty drinks are named after famous painters. Expect to find some sort of live entertainment on weekends, which might range from a poetry reading or cinema to a jazz combo, local punk-rock outfit, or metal band.
