Why Travelers Love OY
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I had a phenomenal meal here and would highly recommend it to everyone. Each dish was so well thought out and prepared and I would love to try everything on their menu! I focused on seafood and got the tuna crudo and fried cod as well as the pumpkin and all were hits. Also had the fig dessert which I thought I was far too full for but I’m glad I didn’t miss it! We were warmly welcomed at ØY and immediately felt so comfortable. The owner himself served us, explained the menu concept, and shared heartfelt recommendations. You can feel his passion and love in every detail. The food was absolutely fantastic and truly authentic. ØY is a place full of heart and soul! 🌿✨ Such a lovely place to eat. Hands down the best food and service I’ve had in the Galapagos so far. I got a frozen tropical drink which tasted just like a Solero ice lolly and the chicken cesar sandwich which was sooo good. Would deffo recommend!

Such a lovely place! Definitely one of my favorite spots in Santa Cruz; it's a must-visit on the list of food options is always impeccable, delicious, and served in generous portions. Their birria sandwich is delightfully unique—I’ve never tasted anything like it before. I was also very impressed by their signature drink: the Coldbrewcha, a cold brew coffee kombucha made with local coffee. It’s incredible and, best of all, it’s carbonated. The service is quick, efficient, and they’re always attentive to details. I will definitely return to try their dinner menu and famous wines.
