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.

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

We absolutely loved our restaurant experience at Kawsay. We had walked by it a few times & said we would try it one day. The food was amazing, full of flavour & the presentation of the food equally delicious. portions were just perfect. we shared all our appetizers & then each couple shared a main. we also saved room for the perfect desserts. Adam was our waiter & did a great job, from conversation to timing, to his suggestions. the whole restaurant staff was kind & helpful. Really enjoyed our dinner & highly recommend you trying it out.

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 !!!
