Restaurants cuisine du monde Ecuador

Here's the nugget of the year, a stone's throw from the historic center. A small restaurant that can accommodate a dozen people in a small, well-decorated room, where dishes are concocted using local produce of excellent quality. Vegetables and meats are lightly smoked in the in-house smokehouse, sauces are all homemade and the welcome is particularly friendly. Soft music accompanies the excellent salads, pizzas and sandwiches.

Small and inexpensive restaurant that serves pizza specialities, salads and sandwiches. Good atmosphere.

Italian cuisine served in a warm atmosphere. Classic cuisine for those who want something other than fish and seafood.

Good ice creams, homemade cakes and also grills in a pub atmosphere, since the establishment is maintained by an Englishman. Friendly and friendly.

A few tables under a large roof roof, a pleasant atmosphere and a good quality kitchen. The place is very popular in the evening.

An old box in wood, blue. All tables and chairs are lame and the decoration of pious images deserves a look. Very local kitchen, special «tourist» rates, but a little higher.

Beautiful location overlooking the Playa de los Marinos. It serves mainly fish and seafood.

For those who tired of rice in Ecuador, would prefer rice to Chinese.

Attablé outside, you eat ceviches and fish well seasoned. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Restaurant specialized in Italian cuisine. In a charming setting, you will taste fresh handmade pasta (especially spaghetti and fettuccine), but also ravioli, risotto, lasagne... The pizzas are not to be outdone and are proposed in 2 sizes, large or very large! We are here in one of the best restaurants of Manta without any doubt and the local clientele is not mistaken, the regulars are numerous in these places. We finally succumb to a good dessert. The shrimp ravioli are to be tested.

A classic restaurant, well attended; local and international cuisine.

Directly on the Malecón, this is an authentic pizzeria whose owner worked for several years in Milan and learned the best techniques there. The products are chosen with care and you can enjoy the pleasant view of the ocean. Also on the menu, chicken and fish dishes are very successful. But if you come here, it is first of all for the very good pizzas cooked on a wood fire, with a very fine dough! Since the pandemic, Da Giulio also offers delivery to your hotel if you don't feel like going out.

Right next to the beach, the Seaflower Lateneus is a tasty and elegant restaurant nestled in a pretty wooden house. The Ecuadorian chef went to Europe to train before coming back to the country to offer his refined cuisine that one comes from far away to taste. Fresh fish and seafood to be enjoyed without moderation! The Seaflower doubles as the best bar in Same with a wide selection of cocktails and various alcohols. And if you wish, you can even sleep in a large and beautiful room for about fifty dollars.

Or the net, as its name indicates: fish, shrimp and shellfish; chicken also for good measurement!

A small bar for a beer.

For more than 30 years, this good Chinese restaurant has been offering an extensive menu in a beautiful and very large red room with large windows. The most typical dishes are on the menu: fried noodles, shrimps, beef marinated in a sweet and sour sauce. The whole of Macas meets here for lunch or dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. Since the pandemic, the delivery service has been developed and you can of course order from your hotel, but we recommend that you come here to make the most of this restaurant.

The place to be for a nice night out in Macas. La Maravilla has had a new location since 2021, modern and comfortable, although it still lacks the charm of the old house. You can sit down and enjoy a cheese board or a meat dish with yucca. You can also sip a beer, a cocktail with rum... or the house preparation, the Guayusa, made with plants and which would have aphrodisiac virtues! The music is good and there are often bands playing live. Karaoke some evenings.

In addition to good ceviche, we serve meat dishes. The restaurant is very well maintained and of good quality. A small terrace to observe street activity. Basic Ecuadorian cuisine and local clientele. Economic.

Near the hotel El Jardin, a little away from the city centre, here is an establishment where you will certainly taste real Neapolitan pizzas, even the best of the region, in a pleasant modern and very well maintained setting (room on the floor). The menu is varied and we appreciate the original recipe of some (with spinach, ricotta among others). Pasta is also on the menu. Note the lasagne with delicious bolognese and a tiramisu to die for. A very good choice in Puyo that we recommend without hesitation!

Just outside the city centre, this elegant restaurant in a beautiful bourgeois home serves both Ecuadorian and international dishes.

Located in the heart of the tropical garden of the eponymous hotel, this charming restaurant is renowned for serving quality Ecuadorian cuisine, tinged with Amazonian specialties. A warm setting and a great terrace for a variety of shrimps, trout and meats, pastas and salads, accompanied by Chilean wine. Do not miss the trout with ginger. The meat is also excellent and cooked as requested, which is quite rare. It is a very nice place to relax after lunch while enjoying the rainforest that surrounds you.

A parrilladas cafe-restaurant, in the Amazon fashion. A large area with terraces allowing to enjoy a little freshness at night.

The best table in Tena is sheltered under a picturesque straw hut. Grilled meats are the speciality of the house: you can enjoy steak, filet mignon or trout, all deliciously accompanied. Locals can even bring in their own cuts of turkey, chicken, pig, etc., to be roasted on the premises. Good selection of alcoholic beverages as well, especially Chilean and Argentinean wines that go perfectly with the grilled food. Since the pandemic, you can even have it delivered!

Served in a well-restored house, respectable Mexican cuisine prepared in the pure tradition by a Mexican team. Enchiladas, tacos and mole, tequila and margaritas at the bar. Warm wooded decor and local music. Not cheap though, but the portions are very hearty. Many musical evenings are scheduled, and announced on the restaurant's Facebook page. The choice of cocktails is impressive, the food is very good and the music is very eclectic, although often Mexican. A good address to try!

Unpretentious cuisine serving turkey specialties(pavón) in a clean setting. Very reasonable prices. Breakfasts are also copious: toast, eggs, ham or bacon, potatoes, hot drink and fruit juice, but also bolon de verde and mote. The almuerzo, consisting of a starter (often a soup), a main course, a dessert and a drink costs only 3 US$. One will come here to feel local among the locals, the restaurant is always full for lunch, so don't arrive too late or you will have to wait.

This nice Tex-mex restaurant is an economic alternative to the famous Pedregal Azteca. In addition to taco and burrito (not to miss the jerk sauce chicken sauce), tamales are prepared on weekends. Copious and delicious portions served in beautiful terracotta plates.

Lovers of Latino cuisine, this is your place. Traditional Colombian cuisine is served in this old-fashioned room. Arepas (kind of corn cakes), antojitos and empanadas are served here without fuss - and with coffee, of course! We recommend the guacamole tortilla! Be careful though, Colombian cuisine is not the lightest. Pleasant atmosphere and very professional service. This is the place to go on football match nights, especially if Colombia is on the pitch, the atmosphere is exceptional!

The room does not pay a mine and the decor is even very kitsch it must admit, but this Indian restaurant (not confusing Indian and Indigenous!) suggests all the classics: curry, samossa, biryani, naan, lassi… at unbeatable prices and very good quality. The young people of Cuenca appreciate it, and the clientele is also exclusively local.

Snack, salads, cake, coffee, juice… on one of the only terraces in the city. Possibility to drink a drink in the evening.

Same style as the previous one. Do not dine twice in the same place.

This is a good gastronomic restaurant in an absolutely delightful location, on the banks of the river, with a breathtaking view. At the helm is a passionate Cuencano chef who will cook up his specialities, original and tasty, traditional dishes modernised in his own way: beef bourguignon with mushrooms, garlic shrimps, veal medallion with Bordeaux sauce... The modern and intimate decor promises a pleasant candlelit dinner. The service is very attentive. A little expensive, but the quality of the food and service are there.

An elegant restaurant in a charming setting. Fine cuisine. Ideal for a romantic dinner.

A good address, also for breakfast. A few steps from the cathedral.

This good restaurant serves an astonishing mix of Mexican, Thai and Italian cuisine. To vary the pleasures.

The café is named after its Ecuadorian owner. Shanta, an interesting character, with a look between cowboy and rock-star, who invites you in his picturesque wooden hut to enjoy a variety of dishes in the open air: pizzas, pastas, trout filet, burgers, and even frog legs! All this with a background of retro rock music. You come for the food, but also for the relaxed atmosphere, the well-chosen music and the very personal attention. Watch out for the truculent digestif that the place is famous for.

The Libertador Hotel restaurant is one of the best tables of Loja. Local and international cuisine, a classic setting.

A traditional restaurant, breakfast and Ecuadorian cuisine.

The framework is impersonal and devoid of charm, but you can eat the right international dishes.

Behind a large bay window, a welcoming and colourful cafeteria ideal for breakfast. Homemade ice cream, milkshakes, cakes and other snacks. For more than 30 years, the Topoli café has been a meeting place for the locals and has also become a place where many foreign tourists pass through. If you like desserts, don't hesitate to try the excellent queso de coco con caramel, a kind of flan with caramel and coconut that is absolutely delicious. The waffles, specialties of the house, are also very good.

A cultural bar-bar with small concerts; theatre, dance. This coffee is also an art and crafts gallery.

Small corner of Mexico in the heart of Loja; simple but delicious food. In particular, we recommend taco and or, and those who love spicy cuisine will be able to taste the pungent salsa walnut. Economic almuerzos.

A small restaurant that does not pay a mine at first sight and yet it is here that you eat the best local specialities, especially with seafood. The chef, Patricio, watches the grain and will be happy to make you taste his culinary preparations. Very popular.
