La Central
Yuca soufflé
Five years ago, this corner deli reinvented Guayaquil's downtown food scene when it became the city's first trendy brunch spot. Today, La Central's menu features everything from classic green plantain plates to fierce sandwiches like kimchi grilled cheese.
But there's one dish that's stood out since the beginning a custardy yuca (cassava) soufflé, served with homemade rose honey syrup or cream cheese and pork rinds. It pairs perfectly with an iced rose latte or a bloody tomatillo drink, sipped while peoplewatching in the lively setting of Panamá Street. lacentraldelishop.com
