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! ❤??🔥

I tried this place for the first time & was really impressed. I had the pancakes with maracuja, chocolate, & flambéed bananas, & they were so good. The sweetness was just right, & the passion fruit added a nice fresh touch. Their coffee was also excellent & paired perfectly with the meal.

I also love that they serve halal meat, which isn't always easy to find. Everything tasted fresh, & you can tell they put care into the food. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to & recommending to friends!

Everything was absolutely delicious. The plantain with yummmmm on top was out of this world. The ceviche was the best I've ever had. & leave room for dessert (the co-owner a French pastry chef), the meringue with passion fruit was incredible! A

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.
