La Canoa
One of the more recommended places for a taste of Ecuadorian-style diner food is La Canoa in the Hotel Continental. Instead of hamburgers, the quick dish of choice is ceviche or fried rice with crab.

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. Above the restaurant is a welcoming bar with karaoke and live music on weekends.

La Parrilla del Nato
A staple for lunching office workers, this two-story Guayaquil institution (there’s another branch in Urdesa) is always crowded and bustling, even in such a large space. Specializing in personalized grills – meat or seafood – fired up at your table, almost everything is available on the menu, from pastas ($7), pizzas ($3) and sandwiches to good ole standard almuerzos ($4).

Artur’s Café
A longstanding hideaway perched over the Río Guayas in Las Peñas, Artur’s does average food (Ecuadorian and international standards such as pasta). Despite the chintzy decor and dark lighting, it’s still a pleasant spot. There’s live music on many weekends.

Asadero Costeño
Rotisserie chicken is a dime-a-dozen in Guayaquil, but this place on the east side of Parque del Centenario stands out for its size and efficient ordering system – pay at the caged cashier before sitting.
