☰The Marquis

The Marquis is the restaurant most travellers end up at sooner or later — it sits on the main drag near the park and serves a mix of Ecuadorian staples and backpacker-friendly fare like pizzas and burgers. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and they have cold beer. The set lunch here is better than the evening menu. Nothing extraordinary, but reliable and sociable — you will likely meet other travellers.
