The place is perfectly located right in front of the harbor, taxis spot, etc... I tried their pizza one evening after eating fish for 4 days straight. The dough was frozen boxed like and the pizza tasted pretty bland, also expensive for what it was... About $38 dollars. The rest of the experience was ok, atmosphere was nice and they had an OK selection of beers.

I got to Puerto Ayora a bit before my hostel would let me check in, so I headed down the main street and found The Rock. I was mostly thirsty and had a very tasty beer plus I had the octopus. So many times, octopus or pulpo is over battered and overcooked, but not here! lightly cooked in olive oil with a touch of garlic, it was delicious! Hey the beer was pretty tasty too!

Best place in Galápagos to enjoy a beautiful meal with family and friends, indulge yourself with fresh sea food, cocktails, coffee and tasty italian gelato.

It's always safe to order the fish that they have lying in front of the stalls. I ordered the octopus once and was convinced that it wasn't fresh. Some of the guys working there can also be quite rude. But reasonable prices for the Galapagos.

I stopped in here for an afternoon beer, having just eaten lunch up the street, I didn't eat, but did drink a beer here. Really nice local place, beautiful flowers along the roof of the building, nice folks. While I didn't eat, I did have a chance to see some of the plates being served. Their presentation was nice and the smell made me wish I hadn't already eaten! I will likely be back!

Affordable chef cuisine (30$ a complete meal) enhancing surprising local products (yuka, guayaba,..). Good tip : you can grab wonderful sandwiches for 7$ if you want to eat cheaper but with nice taste !

The interior design (not to mention the view from the pool by night) was just the right setting for a memorable dining experience. All courses, from entré to dessert, were nothing short to perfect: very creative dishes with a local touch, but above all, with fresh, flawless combination of flavors. And all that topped by excellent service. In short, a night to remember in years to come!
