Super restaurant, la nourriture était excellente (délicieux ceviche!), le service très sympatique & même les drinks étaient bons. Cela faisait plaisir de découvrir la cuisine équatorienne, adresse recommandée!
I was just looking for a quick spot for lunch, & I ended up being really glad that I ran into this place. Everyone was super friendly, great service, & the food was great! The meat was well cooked & coming off the bone. The music is great. I haven't been to an Ecuadorian place in a long while, & I'm happy that Montreal now has this amazing restaurant. I have nothing but praise to say & hope more people give it a try!
Kawsay is amazing! The food was delicious & the presentation was really high-end. The caldo de bolas & the blue cheese mouchin were definitely the highlights, & the plantain & honey dessert was the perfect way to finish. Camila was an incredible host,super attentive & gave us great recommendations. Plus, the music & vibe there are just great. 10/10 recommended!
Une expérience exceptionnelle ! La nourriture était absolument délicieuse, pleine de saveurs & magnifiquement présentée. On sent un vrai hommage à la tradition manabite, avec une touche originale & raffinée. Le service a été chaleureux, attentionné & professionnel du début à la fin. L'ambiance du restaurant est magnifique, avec beaucoup de personnalité & de charme. Chaque plat montre le soin, la qualité & la passion de l'équipe. C'est sans aucun doute une adresse que je recommande vivement & où je reviendrai avec grand plaisir. Félicitations à toute l'équipe de Kawsay !
Je suis une passionnée des bons plats typiques des régions du monde. Ce restaurant m'amène à l'Équateur avec chaque bouchée. Merci pour cette expérience. Tout est délicieux & exotique.
Phenomenal restaurant all around! Went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The service was warm, welcoming, & informative. The food was exceptional in taste, flavor, portion size, & price. Will be going back again & again!
What a delightful find! Ecuadorian food is delicious, & they prepare it with style. The flavours are delicate but warm & inviting. The Ecuadorian style coffee is exceptional, & the seafood fresh. Worth a visit!
What a gem this restaurant is! Beautiful decor, nice staff & scrumptious food. It's the ideal introduction spot to Ecuadorian cuisine. Lots of traditional dishes & flavours. There is also a vast selection of beautifully crafted cocktails. We will definetly be back to try more & enjoy the Chicharron again because it's incredible.
