Restaurant
😐 Small portions. Misleading prices. Paid $13 for eggs & juice, left hungry. Breakfast menu says add jugo for total of $11.99 not clear this is only if you get the juice of the day. Comes with “toast”, 3 pieces of small baguette toast, no butter or jam.

Brewpub
👍👍 Great pub with magnificent food and even more awesome beer! Their balconies have one of the best (if not THE best views in Puerto Ayora). The view over the fisherman's bay while relaxing with a glass of their craft beer is an apex of relaxation and chill out. The whole crew is also extremely nice an...

Sushi restaurant
👍👍 It is recommended to reserve a place in the restaurant in advance. As a first course we took a tuna tartar with avocado - an excellent dish. Another dish we took gyoza pork and shrimp - not everyone liked it. 3 diners ate 5 rolls of sushi. Each Shusi roll includes 10 pieces - the Shusi was delicious...

👍👍 I think the atmosphere here is great. I thought the coffee was good, didn't try anything else. Lots of places to sit but it's also a pretty busy place so you may have to scout out a place to sit.

Restaurant
👍 Good restaurant with great dishes. Ordered the Grilled Octopus recommended by the staff, and it did not disappoint. The octopus was slightly charred at the ends of the tentacles, which added some smokiness to the dish. The staff were helpful and friendly. Wanted to order the signature fried fish, bu...

👍👍 Eagleray Tours is one of the best, most professional tours I've used. It had been awhile since our last dive, and Eagleray made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and gave us a quick, 10 minute refresher before the first dive to make sure we were confident. We told them what we wanted to se...

😠 We came to dinner today (12/30). We 3 people ordered our meals ahead of a noisy tour group about 20 people. However, our food was delayed for close to an hour until this big tour group almost finished their meal! Seemed to us that this restaurant is pleasing this big tour group and sacrificing our s...

👍👍 TLDR, best place and best host. Just information 😀 As the other reviewers have mentioned this is a very clean place to stay out of the hustle and bustle of the port area. Very low key place towards the back of town. Keep in mind the town is very small you can walk from here to the main port and le...
