Very Moreish! - Edit
We ate here three times during our stay in Quito. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the Ecuadorian options in particular.. The (friendly) server spoke English and they also have an English menu so that helped us a lot. Their seitan meat was great (especially the spicy sausage) and the cheeze was good too. The portions were large, so we didn’t eat dessert there, but we did take some cake home one time. It looked amazing in the cabinet, but was quite dry.
Read morePros: Lovely space with a nice patio, Lots of vegan options, Reasonable prices and good portions
Cons: Cake was dry, Service was slow (but friendly)

Overpriced and a bit overrated - Edit
We ordered empanadas, a burger and a ecuadorian dish - the ecudorian dish was really tasty. The empanadas were good but so small and overpriced with barely any filling. The burger was bland, dry and small - especially for the price.

Cute restaurant, part was so so - Edit
This is a cute place with a nice and attentive staff.
Read moreWe had the samosas and filly cheese steak (waiter recommended), the vegan pizza and the mushroom hummus.
Samosas were AMAZING. Filly cheese steak and pizza were nice, we did not like the hummus very much.
I would advise to listen to the staff’s recommendations:)
They said everything can be made vegan which is of course super great.
Pros: Many vegan options (and all vegetarian), The samosas!!!
Cons: Hummus was not very good, Some of the dishes did not meet our expectations

Great ecuadorian vegan options - Edit
The food we had was overall tasty but was missing on spices. It was a bit strange however that they have served our first main dish at least 7 minutes before the second main dish without making us aware that the second one is still coming. The service generally is not the fastest despite just having a few guests and the packaging of the take away boxes consists of plastic and styrofoam😒which I hope they will soon replace with more sustainable materials. We really appreciated that we could finally try the typical ecuadorian dishes and that the restaurant seems to be run by a family.

Really nice food - Edit
Nice place and friendly staff. We got Empanadas de Morocho, the Locro Quiteño soup and another dish, whose name I forget.
Read moreThe soup was delicious and the empanadas were nice. The other dish was alright, and I really liked the protein.
Portions are big. Two dishes would have been more than enough.
Pros: Tasty, Big portions

Great food - Edit
We had the hotdog and altiplanos dish. Both were great and the service was not as slow as some reviews make it out to be. To top it off we had some of their cakes, which was also excellent.

Just ok experience - Edit
I was really looking forward to this place from the reviews but maybe I just ordered all of the wrong things because I didn’t love it and I probably won’t come back during my stay here. I ordered the Mac and cheese with veggie nuggets because I wanted comfort food and it came with one nugget and I believe the Mac and cheese was just a box of daiya with dehydrated corn and peas. My partner ordered the Ecuadorian dish which was tasty! I wanted to make up for my not great dish so I ordered a chocolate shake and chocolate cake since vegan dessert has been super hard for me to find here. I do not recommend either but the shake was ok.

Delicious food, amazing space! - Edit
Located in the Mariscal suburb, this vegetarian restaurant has it all. Their menu carries on displaying their wide offering of traditional Ecuadorian dishes, Mexican food, Italian food, and more. They serve up lasagna, burgers, sandwiches, rice and veggies, pizza, nachos, soup, milkshakes, ice cream, and more. I was delighted to realize that they have a whole vegan pastry case full of pies, cakes, and small desserts. In addition, there is a full organic health shop inside of the restaurant stocked with medicinal teas, organic body products, mock meats, and plant-based snacks.

5 stars!! 🤩 - Edit
This place is one of my favorite places in Quito to eat vegan! This place is self-proclaimed 95% vegan. The variety of local traditional Ecuadorian food as well international food is amazing. We were a large group and we all ordered vegan food. We ordered empanadas, samosas, ceviche, Mote pillo, fritada, double burger, and a Philly cheesesteak. Everything was so good. This place deserves more than 5 stars.

Entrees were good! - Edit
I can tell they are figuring out the flavors but I enjoyed the entree which was their traditional plate of corn, plantain, avocado, and some vegan meats. Skip the chocolate cake and hot chocolate though! Both of those items were one star!

Terrible service but good food - Edit
Such a shame had a table of 10 and I was the only vegan so an opportunity to create a good experience but this was not achieved. I had to ask 3 times if we could order mains.
Read moreWhen the food arrived it was tasty but took over 20mins to get the drink we ordered and more than 15mins to order food itself. When the food did arrive 3 dishes were wrong..

Great traditional Ecuador food - Edit
It was really great here, I had the menestra, which is like some kind of soy steak served with frijoles (beans) and plantain, it comes with rice and salad. I really enjoyed it. I also got the enpanada which were really tasty too. Not too expensive overall.

Tons of vegan options - Edit
The whole menu is essentially vegan, but I think they serve some real cheese, so just double check. They have a wide array of dishes to choose from. We tried the Philly cheese steak, which was made from seitan- had good flavor, nice and juicy. We went back again to try some more local dishes which we are glad we did. We tried the mote pillo- which is like a hominy dish- super unique flavors- kind of like amc and cheese but not quite. Came with avocado, plantains, and some soyrizo. Then we tried the locro, which is a squash soup that was super hearty and delicious- it’s local to the Andes region. Definitely try some of the local dishes for an authentic experience!

I loved this place and will be back - Edit
I was so excited to try vegan versions of Ecuadorian food that aren't usually accessible to vegans.
Read moreI ordered the empanadas, ceviche and a chocolate cake. All good.
The food isnt cheap ( my bill for all of it was 16 usd) but the portion sizes are very generous. I'll be back to try more things!

Decent cafe! - Edit
El Maple has options such as burgers, juices, a few ecuadorian plates, a stir fry, etc. Two friends and I tried a few different dishes and I can't say we were super impressed by any of them but they were alright. The restaurant is conveniently located if you're staying in the area, and nice to have a vegetarian restaurant in Quito that's currently open. It was cool to get to try ceviche, I would suggest to share an order as it's a bit much for one person.

Great food and good vibes - Edit
Several vegan options, including deserts! I got the vegan asiático and it was tasty. The place has good vibes, good music, and - in case you're bored - it has lots of books.
