Ecuadorian food is a mix of the three great civilizations which have inhabited the area over time: The ancestral, the Inca, and the Spanish. Join our free Quito Food Tour and journey through the essence of the millenary gastronomy of the Andes!
In Ecuador, the sun is closer to the ground as it is on the Equator, and so this proximity can change the DNA of fruits and vegetables, producing the most nutritious and tastiest harvests in the world. Visit the Mercado de San Francisco, the oldest in the city, and try some delicious juices and milkshakes with exotic fruits unique to this land.
Taste Quito’s best Seco de Chivo (goat stew) in a traditional restaurant near the Metropolitan Cathedral. Enjoy a tasty Chucchucara with pork fritada, one of the most popular dishes in Ecuador, as you admire the best views of the city!
On our Quito Food Tour you will explore the most delicious and tastiest side to the city, eat like the Quiteños do, try their best traditional dishes and beverages, and learn about a gastronomic tradition that’s rooted in the heights of the Andes mountains and bathed by the equatorial sun.
*On our Free Food Tour Quito you decide how much you eat and spend. Forget about paying an expensive ticket for a food tour and being given food that you may not like or are unable to eat because of dietary restrictions. You decide what you eat with the help of our guides and if you get an item from each place it’ll only cost you around 15USD to 18USD in total, even less if you’re sharing! You are of course absolutely welcome to come along even if you don’t want to eat anything but want to learn about the area and Quito’s fascinating food culture.
