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 😊

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.

assez déçu de notre expérience au Kawsay. Nous avions hâte découvrir ce style de nourriture peu connu & selon les reviews cela semblait le bon choix. Par contre, nous sommes arrivez & avons reçus très peu de service pour la première prise de commande malgré que le restaurant était peu rempli. Nous avons pris deux entrées froides ainsi que deux cocktails. après plus de 25 min, sans aucun retour de notre serveuse, les cocktails sont arrivés. nous avons eu le temps de finir nos verres avant qu'un employé vient s'excuser pour l'attente & nous demande si nous voulions quelques choses à boire. Puis finalement 10 min plus tard, les entrées sont arrivées. nous ne trouvons pas qu'elles étaient à la hauteur de 1h d'attente. Lorsque la facture est arrivé, tout était chargés (même les 2e verres offert par le serveur). Cela nous a choqué car nous sommes deux personnes de la restauration & cela n'est pas un façon de traiter un client qui n'a pas eu un bonne expérience. Après une demande de notre part, nous avons eu un rabais de 50% sur les plats. Selon nous, ce n'était pas assez car si nous avions su que le cocktail n'étais pas offert, nous ne l'aurions pas pris. Nous avons quand même du payer un montant très élevé pour la qualité de la soirée que nous avons reçus.

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. If you enjoy friendly service & food that is bursting with flavor, I cannot recommend it enough.

I first wandered in for their happy hour special - two craft cocktails for the price of one. I also ordered the ceviche, which was incredible. It was full of delicious seafood & the leche de tigre was incredible. The staff all speak perfect French, English, & Spanish & were incredibly friendly.

The ceviche was so good that I went back the next night for dinner, & I was wowed again. On the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the pork tonga, & it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It was full of complex flavor, fall apart tender, & a perfect portion. It is served with plantains that are by far the best I've ever had.

Any time I'm back in Montreal, I'll make it a priority to return to Kawsay.

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 !!!
