This otavalo restaurant is beautifully decorated with white stone walls, deep blue curtains, historic art and huge windows looking onto the captivating landscape beyond. The restaurant, which caters to both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, offers three meals a day, ranging from light meals such as soups and sandwiches, to more elegant dishes including fish, meat, and pastas. Try the typical Ecuadorian soups, the fresh fish and rich desserts.

In the cavern bar, enjoy the cosy atmosphere of the open, crackling fire and the collections of family regalia, and admire the historic equestrian equipment, from worn leather saddles to dusty horse show medals - this room is redolent with history. Sip one of the cellar’s many fine wines, or enjoy "canelazo" by the fire, whilst browsing the photos, prizes and plaques which all attest to the tradition of the hacienda.
