Cuisine Amériques - Caraïbes Quito

A restaurant serving Ecuadorian cuisine located in La Mariscal, where you immediately feel at home thanks to the owners' warm welcome. The room is very elegant, and a tree even grows inside, crossing the ceiling because the owners didn't have the heart to cut it down. Excellent ceviches, seco de chivo or roasted cuy will delight your taste buds. Chef Andrés personally checks with guests to make sure they've enjoyed his dishes. It's one of the best restaurants in the area, yet the prices remain reasonable.

Nestled on the 2nd floor in a @ (or even daunting) building, this popular restaurant and bar offers a varied menu of Ecuadorian, international, Mexican, Italian and Italian dishes. The decor is colourful and warm, the music is a bit too strong to exchange real conversations. It is more for the festive atmosphere than for the kitchen itself. Please note: excellent fruit juices, happy hour every evening and competitive prices. Often full.

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.

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.

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.
