• Plaza San Francisco - Travelers will begin their journey with a delightful plate of fritada—succulent, crispy pork—accompanied by mote (hominy), yapingacho (savory potato pancake), and other traditional sides. This feast is hosted in a charming hidden gem—a small, local bodega cherished by residents. To enhance the meal, guests can select from a range of fresh, natural juices made from Ecuador’s renowned fruits, such as maracuyá (passion fruit), guanábana (soursop), or naranjilla. This is an ideal introduction to the authentic flavors of Quito!

• Nuestro Legado - At the next stop, travelers will savor a delicious empanada of their choice—either morocho or verde (green plantain). A morocho empanada is crafted from a special Andean white corn, offering a unique texture and slightly sweet taste. They can personalize their empanada with a filling of cheese, chicken, or beef, all perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. This delightful snack is paired with a cup of Ecuador’s finest coffee from Zaruma, celebrated as one of the best globally. For those who prefer a caffeine-free option, a soothing aromatic herbal tea is also available. A genuine taste of Ecuador’s rich flavors!

• MUSEO DEL PERNIL 1 - Next, travelers will relish the finest pernil sandwich in the world, featuring slow-cooked, tender pork, served on freshly baked bread, and paired with their favorite Ecuadorian fruit juice. The sandwich de pernil boasts a rich history linked to Quito, where it has been a cherished dish for generations. This savory sandwich is an excellent way to continue exploring the authentic flavors of Ecuador while learning about the city’s culinary traditions. A delightful experience all around!

• El Patio Plaza - Next, travelers will enjoy a beverage recognized by National Geographic as one of the top exotic spirit drinks—canelazo with naranjilla and cinnamon. This warm, flavorful drink combines the tangy taste of Ecuador’s beloved naranjilla fruit with the rich spice of cinnamon. It’s traditionally made with sugar cane distilled alcohol, but for those who don’t drink, alternative options are available. This drink is a must-try in Quito and a perfect way to immerse oneself in the rich history and vibrant culture of Ecuador while enjoying one of its most iconic beverages!

• El Patio Plaza - Next, travelers will be treated to a quick taste of Quito’s famous sweet, humorously known as “dog’s poop” (a quirky name locals use, though it has nothing to do with that!). This beloved treat is made from rich chocolate, caramel, and nuts, creating a delicious flavor that locals adore. It’s a fun and tasty way to explore the quirky side of Quito’s culinary traditions!

• Yumbos Chocolate - To conclude this delicious journey, travelers will be treated to a variety of Ecuadorian cacao and chocolate, which has been awarded as the best in the world. Ecuador’s cacao is celebrated for its rich flavor, and travelers will have the opportunity to try it in different forms—like cacao with exotic fruits or in varying concentrations (from rich dark cacao to smooth milk chocolate). Milk chocolate or almond milk chocolate and a delicious brownie made with Ecuadorian cacao will also be served. A true “icing on the cake” to the Ecuadorian food adventure!
