The best French cuisine restaurants Sierra

This is a very popular restaurant where you can enjoy good local food. The menu offers a wide selection of dishes: meat, fish (trout, corvina...), pasta and house specialties. Nice decoration with Andean colours and live music some evenings. Johanna is very friendly and will perhaps make you discover dishes for which she alone has the recipe, do not hesitate to ask her. The chimney is a real advantage on rainy days, take one of the nearby tables and your clothes will dry during the meal!

In the patio of the Saint Luis seminary, Thomas, a chef from Saint Léger sous Cholet, has opened a real French restaurant which offers, in addition to excellent croissants for breakfast, a nice menu of traditional dishes. Beef bourguignon, cassoulet or shepherd's pie are on the program and the quality is there. We like to meet here, in a very relaxed atmosphere, to have a copious French breakfast and to prepare our day of visit of the city. The place is charming and worth a visit.

The Good café is a genuine restaurant offering a wide selection of international and/or vegetarian dishes at unbeatable prices. You'll also find good, inexpensive breakfasts and alcoholic beverages. Many backpackers meet up in this friendly place to swap books and travel tips. And the adjoining hostal also seems to be popular with young travelers, who like to leave their backpacks here and don't require top-of-the-range comfort.

The eponymous hotel has a rustic yet elegant restaurant decorated with paintings by renowned Ecuadorian artists. It serves fine European and Ecuadorian cuisine in a beautiful setting (with a view that is worth the trip alone). On site, you will also find the Café del Cielo which offers more than 30 different varieties of coffee, sandwiches, crepes, salads, snacks and cocktails. The view of Tungurahua, the city of Baños and the Llanganates National Park is absolutely spectacular, day and night.

This restaurant, located in the most fashionable street of Baños, inevitably attracts… tourists! The place has no great interest - neither the room, the garden nor the reception stands apart from other establishments - but the food is good and very healthy. Here you can enjoy a good trout with plancha rice and vegetables, or a beautiful, colourful, colourful salad. One of the most expensive in its category, but in the end the prices are reasonable.

The Bonny restaurant has been run by the same family for about twenty years. The setting is elegant and refined, the service is of high quality. Several atmospheres within the restaurant, so the customer will choose his place according to his mood and his desires. On the menu, traditional and family cuisine(yahuarlocro, caldo de gallina, ceviche, etc.), as well as international dishes (pasta, salads, etc.). All at reasonable prices. Among our suggestions: menestra con carne (adish with meat and a side dish), churrasco or lomo a la plancha.

More than 50 years already that this restaurant officiates in Latacunga. (Opened in 1969). Here, the specialty is chicken a la brasa (grilled)! The individual combo menu includes half a chicken, rice, chips, soup and a soda. Jimmy, the owner, manages his restaurant with a master's hand and the room is often full at noon and evening. The atmosphere is local, the clientele is mostly Ecuadorian and the setting is simple (a large room lit by neon lights, open to the street). Possibility of delivery to your hotel or menus to take with you.

Literally a muddy earth oven, the Forno di Fango is a good restaurant-pizzeria where many of the dishes are cooked over a wood fire in the earthen oven that gives it its name. This is the place to come for lunch or dinner with friends or family. The setting is perfect and you can mix with other local families. Good and wide selection of pizzas cooked in the wood fire, but also of pasta. Lasagne, cannelloni and wood-fired ravioli are absolutely delicious. The wine list is not to be outdone, there is a good selection.

This popular restaurant prepares good pizzas cooked on a wood fire (in a large brick oven). The ingredients are fresh, which probably explains the success of the place, which is very popular with the inhabitants of Ambato and the surrounding area. The other dishes are just as tasty. 3 types of cannelloni, very nice mixed salads and a choice of pasta worthy of an Italian mama's den. As the name suggests, there is a wide selection of Italian ice cream. A very good quality-price ratio.
