URKO

I enjoyed the culinary experience here. I will say, the aesthetics of the dishes are better than the taste. Most of the courses feel experimental, with the priority being creativity and visuals over the taste. The service was very good, and you also get ponchos on your seats which you can buy for $25 each. Overall it's a good restaurant, but relative to the price you pay it isn't outstanding.

Excellent food, all dishes were with local ingredients. Fantastic service , they accommodated all our requests. Cocktails were super good too! Best meal we had in Quito !

Urko was an absolute delight from minute one. Their staff was so welcoming, the cozy garden-like environment so soothing, and the FOOD - every course blew us away. Last night we enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu, one regular and one pescatarian. The regular and pescatarian options were mostly the same (just a couple tiny changes in the early rounds) but we were happy to try both the Pork and the Sea Bass as the main protein. The flavors, textures, and attention to detail (down to the smallest flower petals) were incredible. Since they rotate menus 4 times per year I would love to come back and try another “season” (and maybe try the 10 course tasting menu…though to be honest I was pleasantly full after the 6!). Although I think they keep a table or two open for walk-ins, I would highly recommend making a reservation - we were lucky enough to get one day-of for an early time slot!

Definitely the best restaurant we went to in Quito. I love the concept of the restaurant, execution of the concept, people working there / impeccable service and of course the food!!! Some highlights were: King prawn Sashimi Pork The last dessert It is a bit pricy for Quito but I guarantee you get more than what you pay for!!

My wife and I spent the last dinner of our honeymoon at Urko and we had an AMAZING experience. Excellent, knowledgeable, and personable staff and the tasting menu was great. 10/10 recommend

Such a lovely restaurant. We enjoyed the Kapak Rami menu in mid-March and were served by Rick, who was great. He explained all of the dishes in great detail and was happy to answer all of our questions. He greeted us at the door with an umbrella which was very kind. The food was so creative and unique. Standouts on this menu for us were the corn, the sweet plantain, cuy, and the rose-geranium/plum sorbet, but it was extremely hard to pick favorites. The whole menu was lovely and we left full, but not overly so. It was a generous and satisfying amount of food. The keepsake passport is a clever touch. I have never kept notes while dining out but I will certainly make a habit of it now! Rick finished it with a stamp and a Polaroid photo which ended the experience on a lovely note. We also really loved the music they played and the cocktails were great too. I would highly recommend visiting!

This place is so amazing. The food is beautiful and delicious. The experience is great. It's like having a staff of chefs just for you. They explained each of the 10 courses as each was paired with a different wine. They accommodated for my shellfish allergy and had a vegetarian option as well.

This place offers a 10 course meal, initiating with a few starters, then working up to 3 levels of dessert. The courses can be paired with wines, which I highly recommend. The food was fusion of modern local cuisines, all with a seasonality of ingredients. The staff was absolutely wonderful, well prepared, very friendly, very informative. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, and the experience is really engaging. Afterwards, you get your "passport" which is also awesome!
