As an Ecuadorian living abroad, eating at Kawsay truly made me feel closer to home. Every dish captured the authentic flavors of Ecuador, especially the rich & unforgettable taste of Manabí. You can tell that each meal is prepared with love, tradition, & respect for our culture. Thank you for bringing a little piece of Ecuador to Montreal 🍁 , it was a beautiful & heartwarming experience. I can't wait to come back. 🇪🇨❤?

I was very eager to try Ecuadorian food for the first time. The food itself was fine, however my rice was a bit cold & too crunchy as if it was reheated. The canchita was not fresh. The shrimp empanada was a little too soft & didn't taste like shrimp. I was expecting something more traditional, but I believe this was maybe more a fusion type of cuisine.

On the bright side, my mocktail was very good & the ceviche was tasty as well. The food was also well presented. The ambiance & music was also good & our first waiter did accommodate us to sit outside even if there were no chairs left. He brought us some chairs to ensure we could be on the terrace.

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.

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!
