Une excellente adresse pour découvrir des saveurs originales! Le menu est clair & facile à parcourir, & tout ce que j'ai goûté était très savoureux.

Le Trio Kawsay - empanada au fromage, muchín de yuca & corviche - est généreux & parfait pour les gourmands. Il peut très bien se partager à deux. Le jus de tamarillo était également une belle surprise, à la fois original & rafraîchissant.

En dessert, le Plantain & miel était délicieux, avec son banana bread, son maduro caramélisé, son crumble de cacahuète & sa ganache montée au miel.

Mention spéciale à Kassiel, dont le service chaleureux, attentionné & professionnel a vraiment contribué à rendre l'expérience agréable. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter!

Merveilleux estaminet sur Saint-Laurent où l'amour de la culture équatorienne des employés nous est transmis par les délicieux plats qu'ils nous préparent. Les prix sont abordables & une panoplie de choix s'offre à vous sur le menu. Le personnel est passionné & courtois, rendant l'expérience plus que satisfaisante. TRÈS fortement recommandé!!

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 💯

Endroit vraiment sympathique, avec une ambiance chaleureuse & un très beau décor. Le service était attentionné, accueillant & très agréable.

Nous avons partagé le trio d'empanadas ainsi que le ceviche mixte aux fruits de mer, & les deux étaient excellents. J'ai particulièrement aimé l'empanada au plantain vert, qui était délicieuse & originale.

Je recommande vivement cet endroit & j'y retournerai avec plaisir !

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.

Last week, I visited Montreal for a few days, & a friend recommended that I try Kawsay. I honestly didn't expect it to become one of the highlights of my trip.

The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was bursting with flavor, & I had the chance to experience tastes I had never tried before. The presentation was beautiful & showed how much care goes into every plate.

The restaurant itself has such a warm & inviting atmosphere. It's decorated in a traditional style that gives it a unique charm & makes you feel like you're experiencing a piece of Ecuadorian culture.

I actually came back a second time during my trip, & it wasn't just because of the amazing food. The service was exceptional-everyone was kind, welcoming, & genuinely cared about making our experience special. One of my favorite things was the open kitchen. Being able to watch the chefs prepare every dish right in front of us, with such precision, organization, & cleanliness, made the experience even more impressive.

The restaurant is also very easy to get to, which is another plus.

People say that food is a window into discovering new cultures, & Kawsay truly made me feel that. This experience sparked my curiosity about Ecuadorian culture & even inspired me to plan a trip to Ecuador someday.

Thank you to the entire Kawsay team for such a memorable experience. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Montreal!
