4.5 / 5.0(3,115 reviews)
Wonderful first meal in Quito. I had a bit of a headache from the altitude and they were kind enough to make me a lovely tea to help with the headache. Highly recommend the cheese empanadas!! Vista Hermosa is truly one of the most beautiful sights in Quito at night. The panoramic rooftop view of the historic center lit up against the evening sky is absolutely breathtaking — a must-see for anyone visiting the city. We were very happy with the entire experience. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself was very clean, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. This place perfectly blends great cuisine with stunning views and excellent service. Highly recommended for a memorable dinner in Quito! Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food or service as we were in a rush and didn't have time to sit down. However, we were recommended to visit the place anyway. If you're in the area, I can highly recommend it. The beautiful courtyard is truly breathtaking.

The food was delicious but for the price the portions could be larger. But it’s a great view and also the drinks are very good. It’s worth it, but I’m sure you can find the same food as good or better for half the price at other places … they didn’t give us any napkins so 3 stars on service
