Fantastic food, service, and ambiance! One of the highlights of our Galapagos trip. The cocktails were absolutely amazing - and I've travelled extensively. My husband and I managed to have a romantic dinner even with our son there. Would highly recommend.
Keep in mind this isnt a life changing meal, but their quality of ingredients and presentation shine brighter than any other restaurant I tried while on the island. While I enjoyed it, some people may not like hearing the sea lions arfing in the distance....The restaurant does a fairly decent job of piping new age techno music over speakers to drown out the sea lions, but the sea lions really do get pretty loud. Our servers were excellent at attending to our needs, explaining the menu in english, and brought out the food at a reasonable pace. I forget our exact cocktails, but I do remember them being quite delicious and well balanced. The brown bread with floral butter and lemongrass oil is simple but satisfying. It hits every mark in what I wanted, especially with how fluffy the inside, but crispy the outside of the bread was. The catch of the day tartare is an excellent choice, especially if its something tasty like the scorpion fish. Full of flavor, balanced with plenty of herbs and that annatto emulsion on the bottom. The cassava crackers are a great pairing as well. The fried scorpion "fish wings" was not exactly what I was expecting, but it was delicious none the less! The breading on the outside was golden brown crisp, the inside was cooked just right, and the fish had plenty of flavor. The fish in pumpkin curry sauce was also pretty good! Granted the coconut cream was doing most of the work, but it felt like I was eating a more regional cuisine? Either way, it had a hearty homemade feel. Easily would recommend this place to anyone wanting a more elegant meal while in San Cristobal.More
We were so enchanted with this restaurant that we ate breakfast, dinner, and hit the bar all three days we were in San Cristobal. Lunch was not necessary because breakfast consisted of homemade breads, homemade jams, eggs any style, granola, fruit, and milk. It freed...us up to explore the island’s excursions for the day. My favorite dinner dishes were the smoked eggplant and pureed white carrot sauce with vegetables (I’m not even vegetarian!) and the 100% Brujo, where they use the whole fish to promote sustainability. The word succulent comes to mind. The smoking drink they were experimenting with was so much fun, and even the mocktails were delicious. It helps that the restaurant is attached to a beautiful hotel and sea lion beach, but it could stand on its own. The service at the restaurant and hotel (services seamlessly go back and forth) was terrific as well.More
We’ve been to some posh ponsi restaurants before and normally love but I came away hungry and very annoyed! In fact had to visit a burger bar on way back to hotel. I think what was most annoying I told them the dish was not...acceptable and they did not care! 100% mis sold on my dish! I hate complaining and I wouldn’t normally mention but let’s start from the beginning the beer my husband ordered came in an ice bucket with a clearly cold glass my wine came not cold ( or the glass ) I then had to add ice from hubby’s ice bucket to my wine normally i’d accept this ( some things are never perfect ) but let’s mention it as it went down hill from there! My ‘pasta ‘ arrived but actually it was beetroot spirals - fine i’m happy with that but portion size was that of an entrée - listen i don’t eat much but an entree size for a main course and let’s be honest you’re not going to get full on beetroot! I made my feelings known but the waiters just shrugged their shoulders ! My husband Tina for just 10$ was ok ( just ok)More
Awesome experience. Food is beautifully prepared and delicious. The staff takes care of every detail. It is on the pricier side but well worth it.
An exceptional restaurant in San Cristobal. Food of excellence, amazing staff so knowledgeable, value for money top notch
Delicious Artistic dinner - accommodated my Celiac son with care and best meals of the trip to Galapagos. Amazing food, presentation and taste and staff was excellent. The rest of us also ate amazing meals without food restrictions.
Beautiful location on the harbour, simple decor and great menu. Option to sit indoors or outdoors. We were lucky to turn up on a quiet night as a reservation is usually required. The staff are welcoming and happy to explain their dishes. The menu is...seafood dominated but there are options. We shared a green ceviche for entree, my partner had the seared tuna and I had local fish on a cauliflower puree. Each plate was beautifully presented and the whole experience was very much fine dining. This was the best meal we had on the islands so if you're staying in the area don't miss it!More
This restaurant, in a beautiful location overlooking the bay and pointing towards the sunset, had the best food we ate in the Galapagos. It was beautifully presented, with an emphasis of local sources. Each dish was explained by the enthusiastic waiter. He recommended desserts based...on our preferences. We had delicious cocktails, but the wine menu looked tempting too. We both had locally fished plates, and were very pleased with our choices. I booked in advance, which proved a good idea as it was busy (and mostly reservation only).More
Absolutely EXCELLENT dinner, service, ambiance. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing; fresh, local, imaginative and delicious. Alcoholic beverages were pricey ($20ish for cocktails) but overall a good value and a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend.
Muyu is my favourite restaurant on San Cristobal, Galapagos. I had the chance to eat there and the dining experience was mind-blowing. I am impressed by the design of the restaurant, the style, the taste of the food but especially how they arrange the food....I am a foodie. At Muyu you start your dinner with your eyes. The plates are decorated with edible flowers from their rooftop garden. It looks amazing and you don’t dare to eat your meal as its artwork. I had a sparkling wine which matched the fish as well as the desert. When you are dining you have a beautiful view on the ocean. Its a very romantic ambience so definitely worth trying as a couple or for a special celebration. The service is very professional. The waiters explain in detail what you are going to eat and describe the different flavors in detail. Very attentive to your wishes. Last but not least Muyu is part of the Galapagos foundation and really cares about organic food, a sustainable delivery chain and partners up with local farmers. I definitely recommend eating at Muyu❤️🔥 You won’t regret it.More
We had the most delicious food during our whole Ecuador trip over here!! Food is super fresh and local grown. It was just amazing. A little expensive compaired to the other restaurants but definitely worth it! Don’t skip this place!
Went in a group of omnivores, all the food was fantastic, but the veg items were definitely the hit. Dessert was just ok.
Great food and service with amazing mocktail options! Strong vegetarian options and lots of choices that celebrate the islands with delectable culinary twists.
Pedimos unas picadas y unas bebidas y no pudieron atendernos , es más nos recomendaron otros lugares después de esperar y ver la carta . No lo recomiendo y por el precio hay muchas mejores opciones . We ordered some snacks and drinks and they...couldn't serve us, what's more they recommended other places after waiting and seeing the menu. I do not recommend it and for the price there are many better optionsMore
