I honestly didn't know what to expect, but Kawsay Brunch completely surprised me! From the drinks to the mains, everything was amazing. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, & beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, & the service made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! ❤??🔥

Service is attentive, prompt & more than courteous.

Food is savory, with a lovely take of Ecuadorian dishes, satisfying my Ecuadorian soul very much so.

As a new establishment on Saint Laurent they're definitely showcasing what amazing talent they have in the culinary arts.

Drinks are well thought of. & as per speaking with their kind Owner David, they will be having their terrace alcohol permit in a week or two.

A must try, & revisit, again & again.

Ecuadorian cuisine is quite vast & this sweet couple exceeds my expectations in their brunch & dinner menu.

My Gf loves the Pancake with figgs. I love the Bolón.

There's something for everybody.

Excellent qualité-prix pour un brunch équatorien ! Tout était parfait, du cocktail (colada de la muerte) au plat principal (pancakes figues avec fromage sinon l'encebollado), absolument délicieux. Je vous recommande fortement d'y aller souper également, toujours un accueil chaleureux de toute l'équipe. Longue vie à Kawsay !!!

C'est avec enthousiasme que nous découvrions le restaurant Kawsay, attirés par l'idée de vivre une expérience culinaire équatorienne authentique & dépaysante. Malheureusement, l'expérience n'a pas été à la hauteur de nos attentes.

Le service a été franchement problématique. Sur une table de cinq personnes, les deux premières assiettes ont été servies… 21 minutes avant les trois autres. Résultat : deux convives avaient pratiquement terminé leur repas avant même que les autres soient servis. Plus décevant encore, aucune excuse ni aucun geste n'ont été offerts pour reconnaître cette situation pourtant inacceptable dans un restaurant.

Le menu brunch ne manque pourtant pas d'originalité & d'exotisme, ce qui rend la déception encore plus grande. L'exécution en cuisine semblait cependant assez aléatoire : les oeufs étaient brûlés & le chicharrón (porc) avait malheureusement subi le même sort.

Mon impression générale est que ce restaurant est opéré par de jeunes gens de bonne volonté qui font manifestement'leur possible'. Cela dit, l'établissement gagnerait énormément à s'entourer de personnes ayant une véritable expérience en restauration afin de répondre, à tout le moins, aux attentes légitimes de la clientèle.
