About

La Hueca offers an authentic exploration of Ecuadorian traditions through vibrant and hearty preparations. The menu centers on the deep, savory notes of the encebollado and the dense, comforting texture of the bolon. Each bowl emphasizes fresh components assembled with care to preserve distinct, home-style flavors. These dishes carry a genuine warmth, relying on traditional recipes that prioritize satisfying, grounded ingredients over complex presentation. The atmosphere remains understated, allowing the rich spices and natural textures of the native cuisine to stand as the primary focus of every plate served in this modest space.

Fantastic! A little difficult to find right now because there's a ton of construction on the road in front of it & the building is kind of a maze. But! Once we found the place, it was great! We both got beef bowls & they were delicious!

These days, food at food halls, in Montreal is far better than in the past & La Hueca is a reminder of that flattering pattern. What La Hueca said, La Hueca did: the flavour profiles were always genuinely Ecuadorian where it was advertised & that is, of course, a great thing. You have the Ecuadorian food staples, indeed, but you also have the bestsellers of South American &/or Latin American  food such as salchipapas, empanadas, ceviche, etc. Next time, I will try the bowls (they look tempting). The food was great & the value too (quality  food & yet, the tab is not high). A strong coup de coeur! PS: the service of the young classy & educated lady who was the counter attendant on this Monday July 13th was extraordinary / world class for this category of casual dining (at some point, a dude came & did interrupt her while she was talking to me.  She excused herself to converse with the dude. You do not see such classy behavior at plenty of restaurants, in this day & age, so imagine at a food hall). Last but not least, plenty of local seasoned food enthusiasts as well as food experts told me that their restaurant Kawsay is one of the best restaurants in town (the quality of their brunch is highly praised, their dinner menu too, etc.), so I am looking forward to eating at Kawsay as well. Long Live La Hueca!

Everything is delicious but the open hours are sooo bad, closing everyday at 4pm? & on weekends is closed? Every time I'm craving your food is closed & I get so discouraged 🫤

Excelente opción para la comunidad ecuatoriana en Montreal y para los turistas también. El Bolon mixto estuvo exquisito.
