One of our favorite restaurants here in Manta is Las Velas. It is located right on the malecon. We have eaten there at least five times on our past visits and have found the food and service excellent each time. On Sunday afternoon Joe and I walked down to the malecon and took a table for another excellent meal.
This is swordfish in a white wine sauce with clams and shrimp. The side dish is mushroom risotto. I have ordered this every time I have been to this restaurant and have enjoyed it every single time. Why order something different if this is so perfect? Actually, the gentleman sitting near us overheard me raving about this dish to our waiter and asked the waiter what it was and could he have it also!
The restaurant is outdoors with a great wine selection and an outstanding menu all with a view of the beach.
Always ready for a great meal.
Another good job!
