Quito is rightly famous for its cuisine, its exquisite flavours reflected in iconic dishes such as mote con chicharrón (hominy and fried pork belly), empanadas de morocho (meat-filled turnover) and yaguarlocro (goat soup). But, if you’re really looking to enjoy the local food, don’t forget an important cornerstone of Quito’s cuisine: desserts and sweets.
Walking the streets of Quito, learning about its history and marvelling at its biodiversity is a beautiful experience that can be made even sweeter with the addition of the city’s delicious desserts of Ecuador.
