ECUAWIKI › LIVING ON THE PENINSULA › RESTAURANTS

The Santa Elena Peninsula offers a fantastic range of dining experiences, from humble comedores (local eateries) serving $2 almuerzos (set lunches) to upscale seafood restaurants with Pacific views.

== Fresh Seafood ==

The Peninsula's greatest culinary strength is its fresh seafood. Fish caught that morning by local fishermen appears on restaurant menus hours later. Must-try dishes:

* '''Ceviche de camarón''' — shrimp ceviche; Ecuador's most famous dish
* '''Ceviche de concha''' — black clam ceviche; rich and distinctive
* '''Encebollado''' — tuna and onion soup; the classic coastal breakfast
* '''Sopa marinera''' — seafood stew
* '''Corvina al ajillo''' — sea bass with garlic
* '''Langosta''' (lobster) — seasonal; available fresh in some restaurants

== Salinas ==

Salinas has the widest range of restaurants, from the beachfront malecón area (numerous seafood and international options) to the Chipipe neighborhood (more upscale). The malecón fronts a row of restaurants serving seafood, pizza, burgers, and more.

== Montañita ==

The main street in [[Montañita]] has a cosmopolitan mix of: surfside cafes, international cuisine (Italian, Thai, Mexican, vegetarian), local fondas, and late-night bars. Very popular with young travelers.

== Ayangue ==

[[Ayangue]] has excellent beachfront seafood restaurants known for incredibly fresh ceviche and fish dishes at moderate prices.

== Budget Eating: Comedores and Almuerzos ==

Every town has local comedores (basic restaurants) serving the almuerzo del día (set lunch) for $2–$3.50. This typically includes soup, a main dish (rice, beans/lentils, meat or fish, salad), and a juice. It's the best value food on the Peninsula.
