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.

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! ❤??🔥

We stopped by for happy hour & everything was delicious. Our server Adam was super helpful! We got a blackberry & guanábana juice as well as the Mahi Mahi ceviche. I love the little popped corn snacks they give you at the beginning. Highly recommend the naranjilla & oat drink as well as the tomate de árbol juice. Really unique flavors & great environment

I love the food. There were really ecuadorian flavors. I traveled home in every bite. A Canadian friend who joined me also enjoyed it very much.
The servers are very kind & accomodated.
Definitely, I will be back.

The food was absolutely delicious. I particularly enjoyed the entrées. The corviche was delicious. For the mains, I enjoyed the caldo de bolas.
Service was excellent. The menu definitely reflects Ecuadorian food & flavors. In addition, it has a lot of diversity for different moods & diets. The pricing of the food is fair considering its good quality.
I will definitely be coming again.
