Restaurants cuisine régionale Quito

In the middle of a beautiful garden, adjoining a charming house, is the gastronomic restaurant of Jérôme, a French chef from the South-West. He prepares a creative, modern and original cuisine while preserving the traditions for which French gastronomy is famous. The dishes are carefully prepared and delight the taste buds. A mixture of flavors, colors and smells absolutely delicious! The inhabitants of Quito are not mistaken, one finds here a posh clientele appreciating the beautiful kitchen.

It is the oldest covered market in Quito! Although it has been in existence for almost 120 years, the market halls have been renovated relatively recently. You can stroll around, do some shopping and even eat there with many Quiteños or visitors from the province. The visit is a must, but we strongly advise you to sit down at one of the tables and taste one of the seco de pollo or other specialties that make you want to. Here, we are far from the tourist traps, one of the best plans for small budgets!

This restaurant, which boasts of having hosted politicians, bullfighters, wealthy businessmen and even heads of state, is a favourite meeting place for Quito's wealthy population. The Rincón de Francia offers fine dining in a classic and elegant setting. The chef, Mario Aragón, prepares dishes with French and Spanish influences. Among the specialties of the house are the mousse de hígado al Cognac, the pangora natural (marinated meat with steamed vegetables) or the lomo fino a las tres pimientas (filet mignon)

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.

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!
