When we stumbled upon this place, the young waitress seemed a bit unhappy. We had been given long stemmed roses by some ladies in Cotacachi because it was the "Day of Smiles" so we gave one to this young lady who seemed unhappy. Her attitude changed immediately and she began smiling as well. The owner came out and treated us great as well. The salads were wonderful, and on a warm day, they were perfect. The wine is from a bottle (rare in Ecuador in smaller restaurants) and not a box. Free wifi.

Las parrillas del TÃo Jessy is a good place to try and enjoy grilled meals, barbecues, burguers, french potatoes, menestrasamong others.In this place the food taste is similar to homemade meals, the establishment has a good decoration and the most important thing about the restaurant is that the chef prepares the food at the time, although sometimes the service is not so good it usually takes more the thirty minutes to serve which is annoying In my opinion is a good option to visit, although the service is not good, the food is delicious. I recommend it because it is a relaxing place to spend time with family and friends

Great food, reasonable price!
Reviewed By M0untainH0me
Everything we had was nicely presented yet overcooked and or cold. Pork on Plato tipico was cooked to table shaking toughness. It honestly seemed left over from previous day and rewarmed. Mashed potato cakes which are delicious when hot I'm told, were stone cold. Cheese soup reported as excellent however. Clean attractive place for tours groups no doubt, but Zero effort to make food do anything more than look nice when set before you.

After some disappointing hotels in Ibarra it was pleasant to arrive at the Chorlavi restaurant, and have the fire lit for us.We had a charming and attentive waiter (was it Carlos?) who made us feel so welcome. The table was beautifully set....after three nights of bleak tables at hotels... and the food while not brilliant was beautifully presented and served. Good wine...altogether such a nice experience.

Our driver guided us to La Marquesa for lunch on our day trip to Cotacachi. The restaurant is reasonably priced, but the food was pretty up and down. The locro (potato soup) and steak were both good, but the trout and cuy weren't. The trout was advertised as a filet, but was actually a whole fish breaded and fried! The cuy was also deep fried, and I would recommend roast cuy for a first-timer. The place can also be a bit loud. Overall, this is a decent stop, but we liked the restaurants in Otavalo a lot more.

During my 5 day stay in Otavalo last March I had dinner here on a number of occasions.This place has atmosphere !!! I want to pay tribute to Marco who served me each evening-a very friendly and professional person....The food was excellent and served promptly.As this restaurant is centrally located-near Plaza Bolivar and a short distance from Plaza de Ponchos-it is well worth a visit....Only problem is that it closes-as expected-at 4 pm on Sundays....great place to eat at....10 out of 10.

Outside of Otavalo, Hacienda Pinsaqui is a lovely 18th-century manor house. It is a hotel and restaurant, which typically serves open dinners and lunches by appointment. The food is very good, especially the local pork platter. The prices are a bit high, since they exclusively cater to tourists. However, we were never disappointed with a meal here during our stay in the hotel. The bar is amazing too, one of the coolest that I've ever seen. I strongly recommend visiting!

I debated between 3 or 4 stars as one meal was great (chicken and mushroom) and the other was not (grilled beef loin). I opted for potatoes instead of fries and they were not cooked (although fries were excellent). The veggies were cold. The waitress was very friendly though.

We visited this amazing hacienda for breakfast on Monday. Not only was the food amazing, the property is breathtaking! Walking into the main building is like stepping back 100 years in time! We spent over two hours here! We enjoyed well prepared scrambled eggs, toast, bacon and pancakes. The homemade strawberry jam is not to be missed! Pricing is extremely reasonable for the amount of food you receive. We met the owner, Nick whom is quite entertaining! We could have chatted with him all day!!We spent a good amount of time exploring the grounds after our meal, which I highly reccomend. The gardens are intoxicating! They even have llamas on the grounds! You'll most assuradly want to plan on at least two hours visiting Hacienda Cusin for dining and exploring...NOT to be missed!

After having a very pleasant lunch with my family we went to reserve an speed boat ride. The attendant indicated the time and cost and advised to reserve. After counting how many family members wanted to ride, we went back and made the reservation. I wanted to pay in advance and the guy indicated that there was no need and come back in 25 mins. We came back and was in the counter at the minute 24. To my surprise the very unprofessional attendant asked other group to start getting into the boat. I pointed my name in the reservation log and the attendant indicated that he was not sure we were going to ride the boat. Unbelievable. Two attempts to make sure we get the ride and waiting like 45 minutes after $300 lunch and not even an apology or attempt to make it right. After talking to the lady in the reception, the offer was to wait again other 25 mins. The fact that the lake view is great that doesnât translate in the worse customer service. Not a place I will recommend.
