EL VENTANAL
Read moreThis trendy restaurant stands on the slopes of the Pichincha volcano. The modern minimalist decor emphasizes the large bay window that offers a spectacular view of the old town and the avenue of volcanoes. On the plate, we find an excellent fusion cuisine based on fresh local products cooked in an original and refined way, with Mediterranean influences in particular. The wine list is up to the standard of this trendy place. A little far from the centre, it is advisable to go there, and especially to come back by taxi.
MARCANDO EL CAMINO
Read moreA 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!
