food stall at the animal market: Roasted Chicken
  • Tip Rating:
  • food stall at the animal market - Otavalo
    food stall at the animal
    market

    At the animal market, there were several food stalls.

    This food stall was serving roasted chicken. It looked ok.

    But we did not try it, as I am not such a big eater early in the morning; to be honest I have never eaten roasted chicken at 8 o'clock in the morning.
    And I am not so sure if eating at these food stalls is very clever, with our sensible western stomachs.

    Aya Huma: Opposite the hostel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is a very cosy restaurant. On Saturday evening there was life music, a local band played (local) music and kids were dressed up to dance.

    The food was delicious, and there was a hot welcome drink.

    In the morning there was a breakfast buffet.

    To start a Cuba libre (coke with rum and lemon)

    Mixed grill, different kinds of meat on grill

    Chocolate mouse for dessert

    Not good for the calories, but . . . . It is holiday.

    PS : they also serve delicious pancakes (Dutch style)

    Food stall at the animal market: Pork
  • Tip Rating:
  • There was a big variety on food stalls at the animal market, in the previous tip, I showed you the roasted chicken, and well this food stall was selling pork.
    And to prove that it was really pork, well they posted the head on the dish. The meat looked ok (sorry, I did not try it).

    Well while we were visiting the animal market, suddenly we smelled something delicious.

    In one of the food stalls there were preparing a local dish, something with meat, eggs and I do not know what the white things in the middle were. But Oh yes this smelled very good.

    Unfortunately for the lady cook, it was really too early in the morning to try to eat this. I must admit that I am not really a big eater early in the morning.

  • I normally take a peek at the local market to see if there is anything interesting.

    The Mercado 24 de Mayo has a section where they serve lunch for about US$1 with rice, a piece of meat and some salad. There are many stalls to choose from, but I reckon they are all more or less the same. I supposed just follow the locals and join them at the most popular one. The food is not fantastic, but it is filling and very cheap indeed.

    Cafeteria S.I.S.A.: More good Food
  • Satisfaction:
  • The first time I came here it was before the dollarization. I had soup and salad, main entre (filet mignon) a few drinks and then a desert for less than $2. I dont know what the price is now (after the dollarization) but I did see the place still here.
    What i also liked about this restaurant was the traditional live music as we ate.
    The service was great. The place was clean and inviting.

    La Cocina de Alberto: Simple good food
  • Satisfaction:
  • We stumbled into this restaurant be accident. We came to Otavalio to visit my aunt and uncle and to attend a wedding. The bride was very late and we were starving. We found this little restaurant next to the church and decided to lunch lunch as we waited for the bride to show up.

    I had my usual churrasco. And Rob had a shromp plate. The food was very good. Nothing fancy about this place but the food was delicious.
