Restaurants cuisine du monde Ecuador

Located in the pleasant Hotel Patio Andaluz, this restaurant serves cuisine that stands up well. It's a meeting place for the Quenña bourgeoisie, who like to enjoy the pleasant surroundings. Prices are very reasonable given the standing of the place. The shrimp ceviche is well worth the detour, and for the main course, we highly recommend the shrimp and fish encocado , a coconut-flavored specialty served with succulent tacones, the famous banana-based side dishes. An address not to be missed on the fine dining circuit.

This restaurant in the warm wood frame offers good traditional pizzas (and calzone) made in front of you with fresh ingredients. Several pasta styles and four pizza sizes are available. You can also choose a dish of lasagna, to accompany with a glass of sangria or Argentinian wine. The room is not very large and it is not always easy to have a place.

In the same spirit as the previous one on the second floor of the patio. The emphasis is on Ecuadorian specialities, including typical Sierra soups and the very popular «wind empanada» (a chausson of cheese and onions, fried and sprinkled with sugar).

Opened in 1963, this is a restaurant set up in a vaulted room by a bullfighting fan, as the décor proves. The menu is appetizing and offers a good alternative to Ecuadorian cuisine. Well located, just a few cuadras from Plaza San Francisco. The carne with mushrooms or the excellent typical Ecuadorian dish, seco de chivo, a well-spiced lamb stew, are succulent. The paella is also very good, in short, the choice is wide and the taste is top-notch.

A Spanish tavern in the centre of the modern city. There is a traditional Spanish style, tapas and cuisine, spécialités specialities, ink squid and fajitas. Selection of good Iberian wines.

A friendly restaurant held by a Swiss who prepares specialities from his country: fondues, conveyors and meat. Interesting and cheap for lunch. The atmosphere is friendly and casual.

Fondues, conveyors, to reserve for the harsh evenings of the capital. Warm decor and mountain scenery.

To vary the pleasures! In the heart of Gringolandia, this restaurant offers various Swiss specialities - the fondues of the fondue - in a minimalist modern decor. Cheese or meat, chocolate and even the dish of her, there are for all tastes. Against all odds, Ecuadorians are part of the clientele of this place that contrasts. Good wine card.

A small churrascaria (restaurant specializing in red meat, chicken and pork grills), which offers a map of Brazilian specialities in a classic decor. Try feijoada with caïpirinha.

Overlooking a pretty courtyard, this colourful restaurant offers good value for money, but be aware that it is (very) touristy. You can choose between pasta, sandwiches, salads and empanadas, meat, fish and seafood dishes... Don't hesitate to try the fritada quiteña, a delicious local speciality that is very copious here. Vegetarians will appreciate the tallarines salteados con verdura. Good to know: Café del Fraile is also a nice place to have a drink in the evening, with a wide choice of cocktails on the menu.

In the heart of the Floresta district, this cozy eatery with its bobo decor of wood and bric-a-brac concocts tasty cuisine with Andean and Ecuadorian costeña influences. The produce is often organic and the recipes original. The setting is as pleasant as the service is friendly, and it's a popular spot for breakfast (several formulas are available), as well as lunchtime, when the starter/main course/drink menu offers excellent value for money. Home-made jams and other artisanal products for sale on site.

In the Floresta district, a restaurant in the most subdued setting (it almost lacks light!) that fuses Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. Admittedly, prices here are higher than elsewhere, but the quality and freshness of the produce are unmistakable. On the menu: ceviche, sushi, maki, temaki, tempura, gyozas... all sprinkled with an Andean touch, bearing in mind that Peru has very close ties with Japan. Beware, portions are small... A "chic" table that also prepares good cocktails.

A real favorite of the year in Quito, this is a lovely restaurant on the banks of the Floresta where Chef Santiago offers fusion cuisine to share with friends, often served on beautifully decorated planks. From smoked swordfish with Japanese-style sweet and sour sauce, to octopus in garlic sauce, to a range of succulent meats, the chef offers rare inspiration in an atmosphere that locals and travelers alike appreciate. This restaurant has become the "canteen" of some of the neighborhood's executives. Recommended!

If you are looking for a place to have lunch in a natural setting in San Cristobal, you can come here to taste all kinds of local dishes, soups, encocados, fish in all their forms, but also some very typical Galapagos dishes such as the encocado de langosta, a delicious lobster with a coconut sauce to die for! The general atmosphere is very friendly and we meet many locals who come to relax here at lunch time.

Without doubt one of the most creative restaurants in the city. Urko offers a beautiful culinary experience aimed at sublimating regional products. From the specialties of the coast to the Andes and the Amazon, you'll love it. If your budget allows it, let yourself be tempted by one of the tasting menus, a real trip for the taste buds! The theme of the restaurant is the Andean cosmovision, the basis of the indigenous beliefs and the menus are built around the 4 seasons of the cosmovision which correspond to the agricultural cycles.

Chef Carlos Fuentes studied culinary arts in France. Passionate about local flavors and culinary history, he offers us an original menu in the lovely patio of the Bolivar Theater, an Art Deco building constructed in 1930 that also houses a fine art gallery. The dishes are sophisticated and, based on traditional recipes, offer us flavors revisited with talent. If you like fish, we recommendaji de corvina, a grilled curry with a delicious peanut sauce.

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.

On the beautiful San Sebastain square, a little away from the centre of Cuenca, this pretty Belgian bistro offers a very nice terrace to taste various Belgian beers, Lambic, Dubbel or Quadruple, a vast sample chosen by the master of the place, Belgian of course. You can also taste culinary specialties typically from the flat country such as Frikandel, meat croquettes cooked in beer and of course the famous Brussels shrimp croquettes. It's like being on a Brussels square and the atmosphere is young and friendly.

The sushi at Shankha is simply excellent. Prepared on the spot of course, often with fish coming out of the water, as the fishermen are not far away, the menu is long and the choice difficult. We particularly recommend the Spicy Tuna roll which is to die for. The big plus is obviously the location, just extraordinary. With your feet in the sand, facing the sea, you can enjoy your meal to the sound of the waves in a Zen atmosphere that is different from the hectic atmosphere of the village centre. We are at the punta!

Maxi, an Argentinian chef, and Oriana in the dining room, make this restaurant a place to return to. The pizzas are excellent, but the a la carte dishes deserve special attention. Nestled in the heart of Balsa Surf Camp, Jaja en Balsa is indeed a true gourmet restaurant. Maxi is very inventive and his cuisine will surprise you as much as his little tropical paradise. The burgers, tacos and marinated fish dishes will undoubtedly seduce you. To complete the meal, you can choose from a good and varied drinks menu. Recommended!

Here you are in a beautiful restaurant, rather gastronomic, offering an inventive Ecuadorian cuisine and a very well stocked bar, not to mention a clear view of the bay from the upstairs room. Enjoy the catch of the day or if you are tired of fish, don't hesitate and order a superb T-Bone cooked on the grill as you wish. The service is impeccable, the employees are smiling and the taste is there. You can also come for breakfast or just to have a drink at sunset. Relaxed atmosphere.

A small local restaurant, very well located, right next to the Villa Tacunga hotel, 50 m from the Santo Domingo square. It is a pizzeria, but the food is also very good. The place is part of the historical building of Villa Tacunga, but the management is independent. A good place to have dinner after a trip, the staff is friendly and the products used are of good quality. On Saturdays, Teddy's often offers delicious braised beef in a very affordable menu. Every day there is a different menu.

Everything here exudes luxury and voluptuousness. Large rooms with superb tables laid out in squares, impeccable staff - we're in one of the capital's finest restaurants! Don't miss the Pandora crab, a delicious crab mille-feuille with passion fruit vinaigrette... a delight. The rest of the menu is on the same wavelength, and even if the bill is a little steep, the quality of the dishes and produce more than justify it. Recommended.

Here's an excellent option, right in the heart of the Mariscal, for visitors wishing to enjoy gourmet Ecuadorian cuisine at an affordable price. The friendly staff will guide you through an experience rich in colors, flavors and aromas. Dishes are prepared mainly with local produce, with a touch of originality that denotes a real chef at the helm. The crunchy cuy is the best cuy preparation we've tried anywhere in the country, and the rice pudding for dessert is well worth the detour.

Do you like Sushi? You will love Midori Sushi. Here, the fish is fresh and caught in the waters of the Galapagos! The tuna is exceptionally melting, and its Tataki with sesame seeds very successful. If you want to vary the pleasures, you may be tempted by a ceviche, don't hesitate, they are all at the level. The variety of rolls is impressive and the chef being inventive, one can come back without getting tired in this charming restaurant, of first line where many locals have their habits besides!
