First time ever trying this place & I'm in love! Music is good, food is good, service is amazing. Very authentic Ecuadorian food, definitely worth a stop! If you're Montreal & you want to feel a bit closer to home or you just want a yummy meal, Kawsay is the spot!

10/10, delicious food & drinks! I recommend the 5-hour cooked pork on rice with plantains, the Mote con Chicharron, the Seco de Pollo & the Guacamayo cocktail 🔥🔥

Also get a dessert, because the co-owner is à pastry chef, she knows what she's doing 💯

My boyfriend took me here for our 6-month anniversary & it was delicious. I'm so glad we came. Our server was kind & the cocktails were superb. Order the chicken pollo & the drink with Campari & almond liqueur 😊

Endroit vraiment sympathique, avec une ambiance chaleureuse & un très beau décor. Le service était attentionné, accueillant & très agréable.

Nous avons partagé le trio d'empanadas ainsi que le ceviche mixte aux fruits de mer, & les deux étaient excellents. J'ai particulièrement aimé l'empanada au plantain vert, qui était délicieuse & originale.

Je recommande vivement cet endroit & j'y retournerai avec plaisir !

We were planning to eat at one of the many Indian restaurants in the neighborhood, but saw this Ecuadorian place & decided to give it a try. Delicious food, friendly service. The ingredients & flavours are different than what you'll find at most of the restaurants in the city.

Great service & excellent food. We shared the trio appetizer & they were all interesting & tasty. I had the vegetarian Moroclo & my husband had the Pork Tonga. We both enjoyed our meals. A great finish with the Tres Leche cake. It was nice to chat to the waiter too.

I have to disagree with the other reviews left here. Our experience at this restaurant was completely different.

Une découverte qui fait du bien aux papilles gustatives. Un service personnalisé où on prend le temps de nous expliquer les plats typiques de l'Équateur.

Le brunch est excellent & les cocktails succulents.

Nous le recommandons sans hésiter.
