Dos Sucres
A slow-food neighborhood restaurant that reimagines Ecuadorian home cooking using organic ingredients from nearby farmers.
Chef and owner Daniel Contreras roots his menu in Ecuadorian home cooking, sourcing most ingredients organically from nearby farmers and promoting local crops like the mashua tuber. The restaurant is named after Ecuador's former currency. Located in a quiet residential area opposite El Vergel Park on the south side of the historic center, it features wooden floors and brown leather booths, making it suitable for both formal and casual dining. A small farmers' market is held here every Tuesday. Guests can choose from a seasonal tasting menu or à la carte options. The average spend is around 30 USD, with tasting menus starting at about 38 USD. Reservations are recommended, and taking a taxi from the historic center is the most convenient way to get here.
