Home-style Dining

Food, menus and dining at Hacienda Cusin Hotel in Otavalo, Ecuador

Just like our Otavalo hotel, the restaurant takes the idea of home – the historic function of the hacienda for centuries’ past – as its philosophical starting point. With hearty, healthy, simple but nonetheless special options, the waiter-served breakfasts, lunches and dinners combine the best of Ecuadorian cuisine and international classics. To a backdrop of the splendid dining room, cosy Salón Simón Bolivar or bar, sometimes with live music performed by one of our talented waiters, distinguished guests come together to feast, celebrate life and enjoy the fine wines of the worldliest kind of home.

The grounds and buildings are beautiful and like stepping back in time, all of them expertly maintained. The staff is so friendly and helpful and my kids are still missing Pablo or frequent server, hot chocolate maker, bartender and now good friend! The food is AMAZING! We still miss the bread and fresh eggs, the breakfast lunch and dinner are all so good. There's plenty to visit around the area including volcanos with lakes in them and amazing wildlife and views. This place is truly special and we will be going back every year now. It's a must see and experience. If you're lucky enough you might meet Nik the proprietor if he's there when you visit. He's the most interesting person we've ever met and we include him as a dear friend now. Don't hesitate, book a trip to Hacienda Cusin you will not regret it!! More read less

The monestary grounds are also beautiful and not to be missed. The peace and serenety here is a great escape from Quito. We stayed in the main house and had a lovely room with a firm but comfortable bed. The room was small but very adequate.
 We also had dinner in the restaurant. It is a set menu  with 2 choices for $30. The portions are large and we could have easily shared 1 meal. The food was excellent, salad, pork chop and especially good passion fruit ice cream. read less
