Looking for a place that combines elegance and classic charm? Look no further than Restaurante La Pepa de Oro. Located inside the Grand Hotel Guayaquil, this restaurant offers a predominantly traditional menu with a touch of international cuisine and a dedicated section for burgers. You even have the option to dine by the pool!
The atmosphere is beautiful, with typical Guayaquil elements adorning the walls and pleasant music playing in the background. The margaritas are highly recommended, as they are simply delicious. While there may have been some delays in service in the past, the staff has improved, ensuring a better experience.
But let's talk about the food! The presentation is excellent, and the steak is bold, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It's one of those rare places that excels in both food and service. Despite being short-staffed on the night of my visit, the kitchen and waitstaff worked seamlessly together to ensure a smooth dining experience.
Try the bold and flavorful steak!
