The 11 Best Restaurants in Playas, Ecuador

Where to eat at Playas?

Updated: September 12, 2023

From the classics to those ideal for an after office, these are the best restaurants in Playas that you must visit, just 1 hour from Guayaquil.

The gastronomic offer of Playas is impressive. And not only in quantity: the variety of eateries, bars and restaurants in the city is extraordinary. Many can be found beach front near from the breakwater sector, downtown and along the 14 km of the Via Data. Tasting a delicious meal, cocktails or snacks is the best reward after a day of sun and beach,  a long stroll in the boardwalk, a bird and dolphin watching boat trip at Puerto El Morro, or a day of work at the new Deep Waters Port in Posorja.

Narrowing down the list of the best restaurants in Playas is no easy task: the city offers a wide list of dining options, from longtime favorites like Bellavista or Juan Ostras, hidden gems like El Kiosko del Gordo Daniel and its-out-of-this-world- lobster sandwich to new places like Los Picos and Muelle 7,5. But we did this hard work and detailed the city's best seafood restaurants, the best after-office spots and more. Here's the best of the best: the best restaurants that the 100,000-plus weekend visitors-and the city itself-couldn't live without. Playas- could not live without.

The order does not follow a particular preference, each one has its own specialty and is differentiated by its products, service and trajectory.
