French restaurants in Ecuador

  1. A

    Caracol Azul

    A fine dining institution, this gourmet French-Peruvian restaurant has been serving scrumptious seafood and steak for more than 30 years. Langostinos encocoadas (shrimp in coconut-milk sauce) is especially good. The relatively elegant dining room is more welcoming than stuffy.

  2. Café Mariane

    Mariane’s French-Mediterranean cuisine is a real stand-out in Baños. The cheese and meat fondues are a lot even for two people, and the pasta and meat dishes are quite elegant.

    Le Gourmet

    The best bet for a splurge is Le Gourmet, a top-flight French restaurant in the Hotel Oro Verde. El Patio, serving Ecuadorian standards at upscale prices.

  4. C

    Rincón de Francia

    For decades, this has been one of Quito’s best-known French restaurants. A full meal will cost at least $20, twice that if you dip into the wine.
