Reviewed By 649wesleyj

During my last 2 months in Ecuador, one meal has stood out to me as exceptional, quality and without a doubt better than the rest. Growing up near the ocean, I have always been fond of good seafood, particularly a good portion of fried fish. Although most of the seafood in Montanita and the surrounding towns are quite good, there was one restaurant that served up something delicious, something straight out of heaven. One of those meals that you never want to end when you haven’t even finished it yet. Something you eat that makes you smile, giddy, brings you sense of contentment, and leaves you absolutely speechless.This restaurant is Caida del Sol.There’s really no need to look at the menu, simply call the waiter over and politely say “Pescado Entero Frito”, or if you’re ravenous “Pescado Entero Frito super grande”. Have a beer, enjoy the beautiful view of the beach and get prepared to enjoy a phenomenal meal.I recommend going for an early sunset dinner. But be careful, if you go with someone of the opposite gender, they may just fall in love with you. The restaurant is humble, the view is georgous, and the food is unbelievable.Enjoy:)

Restaurant Romance Marino

Reviewed By 369kirstyb

We ended up going here a few times because the first time was so incredible, Mixto Encocado and Garlic Lobster (not Aussie prices so had to experience!) - great portion sizes and fair price for the flavour and service we got there. Unfortunately each time after didn't quite hit the mark and ended up with a pretty dodgy stomach the next day pretty much everytime. Its right up the end as you head towards the fishermans markets and pier - good location for lunch and really cheap prices for the serving size. Highly recommend an encocado dish as the flavour is really good and the lobster was cooked perfectly.

We went in here for breakfast because we liked the menu: eggs, bacon, toast, fruit salad, yogurt, granola, juice, coffee. However we were bowled over by both the presentation and the quality. Eggs and bacon cooked to perfection, really good fruit salad, proper juice and real coffee. And all for $5.

Pane e Vino

Reviewed By ditchthislife

We are suckers for a good wood fired pizza so when we saw this oven cooking food outside of the restaurant we knew we had to stop in.We started with the bruschetta which was fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the pizza which he enjoyed and I ordered the carbonara which was ok.The service was a bit slow as they seemed to have to go out to a local store to get the drinks upon ordering. I never did receive the glass of wine that I ordered.Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry for the inconvenience regarding the wine cup. In order to face the carnival I had to hire a new waiter and I believe that the error is due to inexperience and pressure to cage undergo, we were full of people. And yes, we had finished fresh drinks and waiting for the new ones to cool down we were forced to buy them out to avoid inconvenience to customers and offer better service. We thank you for your kind assistance and we are waiting to offer you a cup of wine to make us forgive. Thank you.Luca

Rico's Sushi Bar and Grill

The wood-burning pizza oven made us forget other menu listings, and our pizzas were delicious! Service was prompt, guided by owner Juan, who was warm and welcoming. A guitarist played some nice music at one end of the room, adding to the pleasing ambiance

Reviewed By zootenval

Great food and a beautifully designed outdoor dining area. However, the service was slow. This happens at many Puerto Lopez restaurants, probably because everything is made from scratch and the kitchens are not all that big...woth a visit, though...

Moby Dick Restaurante

Reviewed By bebe1971

We only had drinks here, so this isn’t a review of the full restaurant. Four of us stopped here for pre-dinner cocktails, since it looked like an inviting bar. Service was pleasant, if very slow. Each of us ordered a different drink—Manhattan, Daiquiri, Margarita, and white wine, and each of them tasted “off”. They were made and delivered (slowly) one at a time, and it appeared the ladies making drinks weren’t quite sure how to make them. Atmosphere was pleasant, and the restaurant may be great, but we were disappointed in our drink experience.

Cabana D'chuky

Reviewed By Traveling_Doodle

I have reviewed this place before, but it’s time for an update since I posted their first review on TripAdvisor. They are in a new, even better location - central on the malecón in Puerto Lopez, right in the middle of town and directly on the beach. Everyone I’ve sent there (and that is a lot of people) still agrees it’s the best ceviche they have eaten anywhere. I go at least once a month to get my fix. I’m also updating photos of the menu and location. Don’t miss having awesome ceviche here right on the beach - I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Restaurante Ancora

Reviewed By ruthandvern

We've been in Puerto Lopez for a week and we've eaten here three times. Other restaurants or basic eateries have no comparison to Ancora's menu and meals. We've both had the "Octopus Gallega Style", Vern's had the Tenderloin twice. We've had the tuna salad, green salad and the Caprese salad. I had the shrimp and the calamari dinners. Vern enjoys an espresso after our meal and for our dinner drinks I always enjoy the strawberry smoothie. Vern drinks the (plain) lemonade. Both our favorites is the Octopus. neither of us have ever had it prepared so it comes out this tender. Fantastic! The owners are a couple, he's Spanish and she's Ecuadorian, no wonder the food is so awesome. the service is outstanding. Highly recommend.

The ceviche was very good, lots of large shrimp and fresh ingredients. The fish and plantain patties were also good and the side order of papa fritas hit the spot.

De Jimmy's Restaurant

Reviewed By Elizabeth S

Visited Jimmys twice during our visit to the coast...the food was delicious and the place is located oceanfront. Enjoyed a delicious fresh fried whole fish; had the corvina and camotillo. Also shrimp ceviche, shrimp rice with fried plantains and cold beer. Great place to enjoy dining with friends and family! Only a few miles from Olon and Puerto Lopez...
