4.6 / 5.0(290 reviews)

This was a wonderful place to enjoy a drink by the water or sit down for a truly scrumptious meal. It quickly became one of our favorite spots to meet people and relax, all while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean and its lively marine life. The restaurant has a true island vibe, complete with cozy swinging chairs that make you want to stay awhile. It was also some of the best food we had in San Cristóbal, made even more memorable by the warm hospitality of the family who runs it. This is one of the best places to eat in San Cristobal. Our Airbnb host recommended this place and she was absolutely right! We even came here twice! First we had brunch and ordered Bolon. They were so delicious. We also had iced tea and coffee. The second time, we invited friends to join us for dinner. We ordered various seafood dishes that were all good to share and were all delicious! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. They made sure to make us feel comfortable. The ambiance is amazing. It was right next to the sea. Everything was clean. In addition, the sea lions were just hanging around us. It was a memorable place. Highly recommended! The food, service, and views at sunset while sitting at a table or swinging from a hammock are awesome. We went yesterday and had such wonderful octopus on the grill and cocktails that we returned again today. Today we tried the grilled lobster which was extraordinary. Their portions are large, the cocktails perfect, the cheese empanadas melt in your mouth. Rocio and the rest of the staff provided superb service. I wish we had this restaurant and its staff back at home.

Excellent service, very friendly owners, (shout out to my new friend, Pierre!), BEST FOOD and BEST VALUE on San Cristobol. Delicious shrimp salad, loaded with 12 shrimp! Love the beautiful atmosphere, and how great is it to see the sea lion pups playing in the ocean. Two adults came and slumbered alongside my table. Magical. Delicious cocktails, too! So wonderful, I came back for BRUJO dinner, which was enormous, with cerviche! Can't wait to return! My favorite! Love from Gerri in Manta!

Really one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I could have drank the ceviche :) Scorpion Fish was absolutely divine and the location is as good as it gets for a harbor restaurant!!! Definitely want to go back!!!
