C'est avec enthousiasme que nous découvrions le restaurant Kawsay, attirés par l'idée de vivre une expérience culinaire équatorienne authentique & dépaysante. Malheureusement, l'expérience n'a pas été à la hauteur de nos attentes.

Le service a été franchement problématique. Sur une table de cinq personnes, les deux premières assiettes ont été servies… 21 minutes avant les trois autres. Résultat : deux convives avaient pratiquement terminé leur repas avant même que les autres soient servis. Plus décevant encore, aucune excuse ni aucun geste n'ont été offerts pour reconnaître cette situation pourtant inacceptable dans un restaurant.

Le menu brunch ne manque pourtant pas d'originalité & d'exotisme, ce qui rend la déception encore plus grande. L'exécution en cuisine semblait cependant assez aléatoire : les oeufs étaient brûlés & le chicharrón (porc) avait malheureusement subi le même sort.

Mon impression générale est que ce restaurant est opéré par de jeunes gens de bonne volonté qui font manifestement'leur possible'. Cela dit, l'établissement gagnerait énormément à s'entourer de personnes ayant une véritable expérience en restauration afin de répondre, à tout le moins, aux attentes légitimes de la clientèle.

Délicieux menu aux fines saveurs latino-équatoriennes, service chaleureux & excellent rapport qualité-prix, on y retournera les yeux fermés !

Un vrai coup de coeur pour ce restaurant qui change des habituels. La cuisine équatorienne y est travaillée avec finesse & générosité.

Le tout dans une ambiance chaleureuse & avec un rapport qualité-prix difficile à battre. Que ce soit pour un déjeuner ou un dîner, n'hésitez pas : foncez !
