Great places to eat in Cuenca
Eating out in Cuenca is a pure delight. Whether you wish to dine in a fancy restaurant, and we do have a few, or enjoy the many lunch specials available around the city. These generally are between $2.50 up to around $5.00. We all have our favorites and here are some that we frequented and hopefully you will too.
Kookaburras- Calle Larga 9-40. Good Food & Fine Lodgings in Cuenca.Thursday - Monday 7am - 4pm This is a great place to go for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack or coffee with friends.Accommodation is also provided at Kookaburras and you can check them out at http://kookaburracafe.typepad.com/blog/ . Akelarre Cafe Inigo Sagarna who owns and operates the Akelarre Cafe and restaurant will be happy to serve you one of their special Spanish Tapas or choose from a wide selection of dishes from the Menu. After having looked through the menu I think we need to visit at least once a week to try out the wonderful delicious dishes. For more information about the Akelarre CLICK HERE Tiestos - Juan Jaramillo 7-34 y Antonio Borreo - Cuenca - Ecuador Tiestos is well worth a visit when in Cuenca. It is a little on the upside in price compared to our many other restaurants in the city, but the food and presentation are worth it, and the food is delicious. Café Austria –Benigno malo y Juan Jaramillo This is a great place to meet other fellow travelers or just sit and read an English paper while enjoying a coffee or a meal. I love the $3.00 lunches here. They are quite filling and consist of soup, main meal, small salad, fresh juice and a desert. We have also been for dinner and generally a main meal is around $5-$6. Very tasty. Molienda Café – Honorato Vasquez y Hermano Miguel Run by a delightful Colombian couple this little restaurant serves Colombian food. We have been here many times for a later breakfast which generally will cost you around $2. The food is very tasty and I recommend lunch and dinner anytime. Raymipampa – Benigno Malo y Parque Calderon
I love taking new guests here as it is right in the centre of town overlooking Parque Calderon and next to the new Cathedral. It serves Ecuadorian food and is a very popular restaurant with tourists and locals. A great place to enjoy the start of the day for breakfast. Generally breakfast starts at $2.00. Good Affinity – Gran Colombia y Av de Las Americas This is a Vegetarian restaurant and serves Taiwanese food. We have been for the lunch menu which is different every day and consists of soup and main course (quite a good serving) and a fresh juice. This menu is $2.25. Here are a few others you may wish to try. Monday Blue - Mexican - Cnr of Louis Cordero and Calle Larga. Great Burritos and great prices. Funky little corner restaurant. Mediterraneo - Honorato Vasquez 7-64 y Luis Cordereo. Great Italian and beautiful decor. El Tunel - Cafe Bar restaurant - Honorato Vazquez 6-80 y Presidente Borrero - Great special lunch menu for $2.50
