About

Found on Galápagos, Don Gato sits on Charles Binford in Puerto Ayora, Ecuador, placing it within the main town on Santa Cruz and within easy reach of the archipelago's visitor hubs. Reaching Puerto Ayora is straightforward for anyone staying in Puerto Villamil, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno or the other inhabited islands, since inter-island transport links the main settlements. The venue is known across the islands, holding 4.8 out of 5 from 218 reviews, a tally that reflects steady approval from those who stop by. It draws both residents and travellers exploring the streets around Puerto Ayora, close to the waterfront and the town's services. Nearby places such as Tortuga Bay, Floreana and Isabela sit within the wider island network that surrounds Santa Cruz. The venue's reputation rests on what it offers to those passing through Puerto Ayora, with its standing among the highest on the island. Galápagos cooking leans on seafood, with ceviche, grilled fish and lobster joined by plantain, rice and Ecuadorian sauces, so a meal here fits the local pattern. Flights from Quito and Guayaquil to Baltra and San Cristóbal bring visitors into the archipelago, and onward travel by boat or small plane connects the towns. The islands are almost entirely national park, with settlement confined to four inhabited islands, which keeps Puerto Ayora compact and walkable. A cool mist known as the garúa settles over the highlands of the larger islands during the dry season, adding a grey layer to the interior.
