Dharma is a five stars (For the location) hotel restaurant which is located in the heart of Montana, if you are looking for a classic all inclusive luxurious place to stay while Surfing in Paradise you cannot choose better than this hotel.
The beach is about two meters away from the outdoor restaurant with incredible sunset and fresh fresh seafood and beautiful meats, the staff is highly knowledgeable and courteous always trying to fulfill your culinary desires.
I give this location a 5 as I did try to find downfalls but failed.
Thank you Gus !!!

We went here twice in a single week. We live near Montañita and wanted to eat pizza, when we arrived here the staff all greeted us and were really friendly. Once the food came we were in HEAVEN. We've had some pretry good pizzas in Italy and around the world, and we can say that the pizzas here make it easily to our top 5. There is two opinions for the size, big or small. Big is with 8 slices and small with 4. The big is big. On both occasion we took some slices with us back home.
We highly recommend this place for anyone who is in the Montañita region and want the best pizza in town.

Tiki Limbo "Surf Hostel & Restaurant" es uno de los primeros hoteles de Montanita y es el preferido de la mayoria de los viajeros.Te invitamos a visitarnos y dormir en nuestro hotel , disfrutar del ambiente del Restaurante o aprender a surfear en nuestra escuela. Simple, como la vida en Montanita.

Terrible restaurant. We felt treated like a piece of sh**. This unfriendly service replaced us two times because of a bigger group. All what counted was to fill the restaurant. They pay no attention to customers. If we are not important enough, we can easily spend our money somewhere else. Burger are prepared in advance and they are not even able to add some onions to it!?? French fries had too much oil on it, Coke was expired on date Feb. 2018 and had no sparklings. Worst restaurant after 5 months of traveling through South America. Congrats for this achievement. Never again.

On a recommendation visited Shanka today for lunch. The location is great! On the North end of Montanita beach, right on the water. The lunch was decent the lime pie was to die for!!! We would have gladly offered mucho denaro just for the recipe. The service was slow and we didn’t appreciate the wandering pit bull whom was friendly enough but sat and begged at our table

A beachfront cabana, this is a great place for a drink and good food. Everything is delicious and the service is good. There is plenty of shade for when you need to get out of the sun.
7. Pigro Homemade italian food
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 408 reviews
Pigro is a tyipcal Italian restaurant. Our interaly homemade meals came from the traditions of differents regions of Italy, but mostly from the northern ones, where our chef's born. The place is meanted to be like a typical Italian "trattoria", where good food, music and a warm aura are melted to make you experience a taste of Italy.

This is the perfect place to come with a group because unlike many Ecuadorian restaurants, Pigro manages to serve the entire party and pretty much the same time. The pastas a delicious and the house red wine is really good. I've had ravioli, lasagne and fettuccine which were all large portions and really tasty. Don't fill up on the house bread even it is great. The ambiance is cheerful bohemian and there's great people watching. All in all, it's good all the components for a great dining experience in Montnita.

Reviewed By coyotero2112 - Seattle, Washington
This place is a full-on sales pitch. If you can't find anything else, or you like this sort of place, do check out exactly what you're buying before you buy it. A lot of the staff speaks English, if you speak English better than Spanish, but they don't, trying to confuse the matter. Pretend like you don't speak Spanish, if you do, then work a better price. The food is purely average tourist fare - beer $4, while right across the street at K-Chay Club it is advertised for $1.25. There is live Reggae music sometimes, and live music is rare in Montanita. Stay out of their gift shop/tienda unless you want to pay twice the going price you find elsewhere. All in all, take the time and effort to find something else . . .

Reviewed By sfeddie - Cuenca, Ecuador
We discovered this place on one of our last trips to Olón. We have dinner there at least twice per visit. The menu is varied from vegetarian, fish, and a variety of great dishes from South America. We are never disappointed. They also serve breakfast. Nice outdoor atmosphere across from the main park. The owner is friendly and funny, and a great cook. We usually have one of the shrimp dishes - many to choose from - from grilled to sauced. Always ample portions. The service is a tab slow, but it gives you time to suck up the atmosphere of the pueblo. They are busy which shows you they serve great food. Highly recommended while in Olón.

Small, local style restaurant with friendly atmosphere serving peruvian dishes.
Reviewed By drakave - Livonia, Michigan
Had the pleasure of trying this little restaurant for dinner with the family. It's not much to look at but what they lack in general decor they more than make up in their cooking! It's a like of the main drag which actually makes it a more pleasant experience to dine. Kids were playing in the street without getting swamped by the troll of tourist everywhere which my 2 year old really enjoyed. We ordered a chorrellana de pescado and a chicken tallarin. I had the pescado. Te tomato white wine reduction sauce was exceptional with a light delicate flavor that complemented the fresh corvina very well. My wife really enjoyed the tallarin (noodles in sit sauce), the thought the dish was delicious. We washed them down with a few mojitos which were the ideal level of sweetness. Overall a great experience which I strongly recommend.
