Reviewed 27 August 2016

This bar became our favorite place in montanita.
Friendly and engaging bar owners always made us feel welcome.
During the day its a great place to people and surf watch from beach hammocks. Amazing sun downer location and fun place during the evening.
Food is great value and tasty and if you are lucky enough to be around on Friday the evening barbecue should not be missed.

If you are in Montanita, be sure to check out Savannah Lamar! It's an inviting little beach bar just north of the town of Montanita close to The Point. Linda and Santi are the very welcoming owners and they offer great food, drinks and atmosphere! I highly recommend Grill Night every Friday night at 8pm! Delicious grilled meat with an appetizer and sides. And for vegetarians, they offer one of the best Vegetarian plates around! Don't miss this place!

If you find yourself in Montanita, sooner or later you're going to need a place to just chill, this is it. They have just completed new construction and the place is really inviting, comfortable and the music selection is very cool. There are always interesting, friendly people around and its location, right on the beach at "the point", is perfect. They offer a ice cold beer, a full bar and a food menu featuring salads, sandwiches and a killer tortilla (omelet). But the best thing here is the authentic Argentinian asado on Friday nights. Santi and Linda, the owners, will fill you up with an appetizer plate and four or five different perfectly grilled meats. Come hungry!

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to have our last dinner Montañita after traveling throughout Ecuador for over a month. We are so glad that we made the choice to enjoy our last evening at Savannah La Mar. We enjoyed Argentinian BBQ, a mixed variety of pork, chicken and beef. They grill the food and then deliver three different courses of meat to your plate individually, like churasceria style. The chef/owner is from Argentina and his partner is from Sweden which creates a authentic feel with a European flair and attention to detail. We shared a bottle of wine, and had dinner. The open atmosphere , our table was literally on the sand, and the way the food was served sparked conversation between tables and we had a nice conversation with some fellow travelers from Canada and USA. Thank you Savannah La Mar for the great food, wonderful atmosphere, warm smiles and not kicking us out after 3 Am lol-! We will see you on the beach on our next trip!

We got a recommendation from Casa Del Sol to come here for dinner on Friday. Lucky for us, that's Argentinian BBQ night.

Sausages, chicken, roasted potatoes, beef ribs, and probably the best pork ribs of my life. It comes out in a stream of small plates. No rush here, enjoy a beer or cocktail, or a glass of wine, and an eclectic mix of great rock music in between dishes.

The staff is very friendly, they'll have a drink with you, talk about music, about their home countries of Argentina and Sweden, about their travels, and ask about yours.

We came back two or three more times on our trip to have a drink. The owners are really vibrant happy silly smart people. They'll point you to all the things to do in Montanita - but you'll want to just stick around and chat.

Make sure you stop in!
