Rated #1 Restaurant in Cuenca by Tripadvisor
Some like the attention to detail offered by the simple, but gourmet food. Others can’t get enough of the artistic, cultural-laden aesthetic. Or perhaps it’s the many expat-friendly events such as bands & foreign films. There are plenty of reasons they’ve been rated the #1 Restaurant in Cuenca out of more than 400.
Tripadvisor Reviewers Say:
Fave spot for fun & food in Cuenca!
This is such a lovely establishment where Andres hosts evenings with entertainment and serves simple yet gourmet dishes for every meal. I went 3 times in one week because there is not a better spot in Cuenca. Omar makes incredible drinks/cocktails, you might have a movie or accordion player romanticizing your evening, and will always find good company. Cannot recommend enough! :)

Fantastic food and hosts
A neighborhood gem! La Guarida offers programming most nights of the week ranging from foreign films, to live music, to pizza night. The menu is high-end with a very reasonable price tag, and the owners are such lovely humans. There are even two airbnbs available on the upper floor!

Food & Wine
You can taste the care and attention that goes into every single dish. They take their food seriously, but somehow still manage to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They don’t try to go over the top with fancy extravagance. No. They stick to providing dishes that you already know and love, but with some twists, turns & surprises that elevate the dishes to the next level. The food here just works. Try it for yourself – you’ll thank us later.
