Achiote Ecuador Cuisine Restaurant – Quito Ecuador
On our visit to the City of Quito in Ecuador, we had the pleasure of working with Quito Turismo {Tourism} and visiting some wonderful places. One of which included a visit to …
A superb restaurant serving original recipes of Ecuadorian food with a special twist.
Achiote Ecuador Cuisine Restaurant – Location
Achiote is located in the trendy {La Mariscal District} of the city, and is presently rated
on Tripadvisor as; #17 of 1,307 Restaurants in Quito, Ecuador and for very good reason.
La Mariscal is known to be one of Quito’s more affluent districts in the city. Here you will find international brand hotels, offices, restaurants, entertainment and more. The Plaza Foch is a very popular area with a central plaza surrounded by; cafes, bars, and restaurants.
The Achiote Restaurant is just a couple of minutes walk from the Plaza, yet situated in a quiet residential street setting.
Family Owned & Operated
This is a family owned and operated business and after dining here, it was easy to tell why they are and have been so successful over the years.
Achiote’s menu is varied and takes an original approach to Ecuadorian cuisine. They offer a touch of Latin, Fusion, Ecuadorian dishes, are vegetarian friendly, with vegan and gluten free options.
On our visit, we were delighted to meet the owners/chefs of Achiote, who presented us with a superb {5 Course Tasting Menu}. What a wonderful way to experience Ecuadorian Cuisine at its finest!

Each and every dish served was absolutely delicious. We could not have asked for a better sampling of true Ecuadorian Cuisine.
It should be noted that we did request small servings. Because of our very busy schedule with our tour guide and the itinerary Quito Turismo had put together for us, we had a very late lunch.
Our dinner was excellent, with all dishes beautifully prepared and presented. The restaurant has a lovely interior, with large surrounding view windows.
There’s a number of areas in the restaurant to enjoy your meal, together with a nice cozy bar/lounge area, where you can sit by the fireplace.
Whether dining solo, as a couple or large group, this restaurant can accommodate all.
