Cafetería La Zamba Teresa
Attached to La Cueva del Oso, this is the people's chance to sample some of the restaurant's outstanding cooking. The set lunches are a steal, and the sopa marisco is delicious.
-
La Paella Valenciana
Serves knockout Spanish seafood plates, including excellent paella (hence the name). Portions are gigantic.
-
Las Cuevas de Luís Candela
Built in the vaulted cellar of an old-time building, this atmospheric and windowless Spanish/Ecuadorian restaurant has been around since 1963. Bullfighting greats Manolo and Manolete both ate here, and the toilet (the first of its kind in the old town) was 'inaugurated' by President Arosemena (be sure to take a…look).

Mea Culpa
An over-the-top Mediterranean menu and a strictly enforced dress code make this one of the old town's premier restaurants. The views and romantic setting reportedly dwarf the food, but why not throw on that party dress and find out for yourself?
-
Rincón de Cantuña
Inside the Hotel Patio Andaluz, this upscale restaurant serves gourmet Spanish and Ecuadorian fare to an almost strictly foreign clientele. You could skip the full dinner and just try the sopa de bolas de verde (peanut and plantain-ball soup), a wonderful coastal delicacy that's well worth the around US$5 .
-
Rincón de Francia
This is one of the best-known French restaurants in town and has been for decades. A full meal will cost at least around US$20 and twice that if you dip into the wine.
-
Trattoria Sole e Luna
This is an excellent restaurant with a delightful nouveau-Italian atmosphere and friendly service. It's great for lunch, and the risotto is tops.
