Miskay - Quito

Their menu appears to be quite meat-heavy on the face of it, but don't run away if you're vegan! We found that our Waiter knew the dishes so well, he did a phenomenal job recommending amendments to the dishes to make them suitable for vegans. We ordered the fish and chicken entrees, substituting both meats for their in-house protein substitute of quinoa and bean cakes with the typical veg sides. Truly delicious and we felt like our waiter really cared and listened to our preferences. On the way out he made a point to ensure we found things satisfactory. He was passionate about us experiencing Ecuadorian flavors in a way that aligned with our diet. Very top notch service!! Thank you!!

We’ve (Peg Malloy and I) eaten at Miskay twice and once with Lynn Youngbar. Both times we were really impressed with the friendly demeaner of staff, quality of the food, and service. We had a great conversation with the young Co-owner and manager of this family-owned and run Ecuadoriano restaurant. Our only critique beyond being very impressed was they could cut the lumens in their exceptionally “clean, well-lighted” nighttime ambiance and better illuminate their rear entrance which can be difficult to find on the fairly dark street. They purposely chose not to have a common entrance with the disco on Calle Mariscal Foch, which makes sense given the sensibilities of Miskay. What that means is better signed/lighted entrance to the rear. It’s a three floor walk up in a nice lighted stairwell so once you find the door it’s no problem getting to the restaurant! I’d give it five stars and is easily one of the quietest, cleanest best staffed restaurants in Quito.

This is a must! The food is amazing and outstanding, and the presentation is great. Service is wonderful and he owner came out to explain each dish, and how it relates to the Ecuadorian culture and history. I highly recommend!

Excellent! From the entrance they cared about our vegetarian diet offering different options and accommodate our needs, which does not happen very often when you are Vegano/vegetarian. The service is very warm and of great quality! Don't leave without trying the Aji!! Satisfied customer :
