Seafood restaurants in Ecuador

  1. 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. At lunchtime the place fills up with local bigwigs.

    Corvina Don ‘Jimmy’

    Open since 1953, this is the Mercado Central’s most famous stall, serving huge portions of corvina (sea bass) – ask for it with rice if you don’t want it over a big bowl of ceviche. Everyone from governors to diplomats has eaten here.

    Serving excellent seafood, Ecuadorian dishes and out-of-nowhere concoctions like goulash, Sierra Nevada is a sure shot for any meal. It also whips out what are likely the best almuerzos in town.
