I have been there a few times with friends. It’s a cozy place to hang out and sometimes catch music. They have good bottled craft beers and the food is light but delicious.

I live in Loja and work from a home office, and am constantly on the lookout for nice cafes around town to get out of the house. This lovely spot fits the bill. An interesting, varied menu, great light, access to outlets, relatively quiet (the owners are accommodating, if you need the music down a bit, for calls and such). While most cafes in Loja will serve great coffee, very few move past the “hole-in-the-wall” decor. I’m so glad that Pittura does. Try the refreshing specialty “refrescos” - our fave is the pineapple and mint - with fresh mini bits of pineapple in it. Yum. Their tarts are really good, too. Which, being from Oregon, where pies are all, I love coming in for treat of apple or red fruit “frutos rojos” tart. Thank you Abby, we are gonna give you a really good experience en we are going to innovate our menu to have a best and really wonderful tarts and more

In my opinion, every dish you order will be tasty. One thing you shouldn't leave without trying is "the bbq wings". You can also enjoy drinking an artesanal beer. The lemon pie tea it's particularly delicious.

Salon Lolita

Reviewed By Lily C

Based on the earlier review I was expecting some plastic seated, dingey restaurant. It is downstairs from the address given where you will find lots of tables set in a garden with wood, tile and brick. There's even a kid's wood and plastic swing set. The crowd was mostly couples and what looked like a gathering of professional adults after work. The confusing part is that you have to go order at the back of the restaurant in an area obscured by bushes, then seat yourself. The cuy is tender and a half is more than enough food for one. The horchata is a bit sweet.

Gato Suco

My boyfriend and I visited Gato Suco for a quick dinner in Loja. The place is very modern and has a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the service prompt. The menu is small but has some great choices. We both opted for falafel, and it was fantastic - very tasty, great portion sizes and excellent value for money! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for quality at reasonable prices!

Dumas Trattoria & Restaurant

Reviewed By zaragoozee

My boyfriend and I arrived in Loja around lunch time and we decided to try the set lunch at Dumas. The deal includes a juice, soup, main and small desert for ~$4. The food was tasty, good portion sizes and the value for money fantastic. The service is very rapid so you’re in and out very quickly, but this wasn’t an issue for us as we wanted to get out and see the town in the afternoon! Would recommend!
