Why Travelers Love Miskay

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.6 / 5.0(988 reviews)

Really good seafood dish with rice. Tasty greatly balanced flavors it was worth the trip from old town! The trio ceviche was a great way to go. My favorite there was the passionfruit. The other two were more typical the shrimp being the better of the two I believe it was the octopus that was very bland. I’ve been to Miskay 4 times in my short 2-weeks stay in Quito. The service is excellent and the food both tasty and well presented. The staff is really polite and friendly, and make your evening feel special. I wish I was staying longer so that I could work my way through the whole menu. I highly recommend the ceviche, seco de chivo, empanadas, fanesca (only during Easter) and the desserts as well. They also have a nice selection of beers! So nice we went twice! Food, service, and presentation were fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re in Quito. The trout, seafood rice, ceviche, and empanadas were delicious.

Food was amazing, they brought out a lovely complimentary iced tea and then a light appetizer with a chocho dip. I am vegetarian and they can make a lot of dishes vegetarian. It was amazing. My boyfriend got the cuy (guinea pig), he said it was very good and tender. We shared an appetizer of the potato soup, locro quiteño. We recommend canelazo (a warm drink that reminds me of hot apple cider, spiked). When you come to the restaurant don’t be deterred if it looks closed, it’s on the third floor! Worth the walk.
