Artur's Café
Unlike most of the refurbished facades in the neighborhood, Artur's looks like it's been around for a while - this is a good thing. It feels like a local's secret hideaway, perched over the Río Guayas in Las Peñas, and the slightly chintzy decor only adds to its charm. There's drinks, Ecuadorian food and live music on many weekends.

Asadero Costeño
This is a large, bare-bones eatery serving grilled chicken, rice and beans on the east side of the Parque del Centenario. Order and pay at the caged cashier before sitting. Next door is the curiously named Parrallidas Beefs & Salads, another busy local eatery.
-
Café La Española
The super-clean and air-conditioned dining area more than makes up for this chain outlet's lack of charm. Good deli sandwiches and meal deals, baked sweets and breads are the specialty.
-
El Toro Asado
Serves good, reasonably priced grilled meats in a casual and busy atmosphere. Asado y menestra (grilled beef with lentils or beans) is the specialty.
-
Escalón 69
On the steps of Las Peñas, this is a charming mix of romantic elegance and casual local spot, with a menu of creative interpretations of typical Ecuadorian dishes: yucca patties served with honey lemon sauce, squid stuffed with Spanish sausage and rock bass ceviche. It's decorated with flowing yellow drapes, hammocks and handwoven tablecloths.

La Canoa
In the Hotel Continental, this is a bustling popular diner, Ecuadorian-style, which means instead of hamburgers, the quick dish of choice is a ceviche or fried rice with crab. There's also a branch in the Mall del Sol. Also in the hotel is the expensive El Fortín, which has won international gastronomic awards.

La Parrillada del Ñato
Still Guayaquil's most famous grill and one of the city's institutions, del Ñato does barbecue in a big way, a reference both to the size of the dining room and the large portions. There's also a branch in Alborada at the corner of Demetrio Aguilera Malta and Avenida Rodolfo Baqurizo Nazur.
-
Lo Nuestro
Housed in a century-old mansion complete with wooden shutters and period furniture, Lo Nuestro is one of the most atmospheric places in Guayaquil to eat seafood dishes typical of the region. Musicians play on Friday and Saturday evenings when reservations are recommended and the place fills at lunch time with local bigwigs.

Poly Restaurant
One of the few authentic local-style eateries left around the area of the Malecón and Las Peñas.
