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 !!!

J'ai découvert ce restaurant sur les réseaux sociaux & j'ai proposé à mes amis d'y aller. J'avoue que j'avais un peu de pression : peur d'être déçu… & de les décevoir aussi.
Finalement, très belle surprise ! La bouffe était vraiment excellente, les cocktails pleins de saveur & l'ambiance super agréable. On est restés quand même tard, c'est dire.
Une très belle découverte, j'y retournerai avec plaisir.
