The best restaurants in Ecuador Sierra

In Cotacachi, we advise you to do like the locals and have lunch at the market (Mercado de los Andes). A pleasant place, full of life, where you can taste typical Ecuadorian and more precisely Andean food. Grilled pig, chicken soup with vegetables, quinoa soup, so many family dishes that are rarely found in traditional restaurants will delight your taste buds at the corner of a very local table. The cooks will be delighted to help you discover their ancestral recipes.

This property belonged to the Ordóñez Mata family, a family that in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had an important political and economic influence at the national level. It has been completely renovated and now houses a dozen different cafes and restaurants. From Dunkin Donuts to the traditional gourmet restaurant El Consuelo, you can also taste local products in small stalls spread out on the ground floor of the building. A beautiful heritage restoration not to be missed during your stay in Cuenca.
