Café del Cielo
A clifftop café inside the Luna Volcán hotel, with a terrace overlooking all of Baños and facing Tungurahua volcano.
Inside the Luna Volcán adventure spa hotel on Kilometer 6 of the Runtún road, about 13 minutes by taxi from the town center. The terrace hangs over the cliff edge, overlooking all of Baños, Tungurahua volcano and Llanganates National Park, and the evening views are the most popular. It serves breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, waffles, crepes and 34 kinds of coffee and tea. Signature dishes include Runtún potato rösti with beef (about $11.95), lupin ceviche salad (about $7.45) and a hot cinnamon drink. Prices are higher than in town, about $10–15 per person. No reservations; there are waits on weekend evenings. Some diners report no service after 9 pm, so go up early.
