Ecuadorian
Born.
I was born and grew up in Ecuador where I was spoiled with exotic local foods that came from all regions: highlands, coast and jungle. Ceviches, hornados, locros, encocados and so many more delicious dishes that became part of who I am as a chef.

Welcome to Somos!
Globally
Inspired.
At age 16 I moved to France with my family where I uncovered a whole world of gastronomic technique. For the next 10 years I studied, and worked and traveled all things culinary. From Europe, to the US, to Asia & the Nordics, my perspective is global.

TASTING MENU - RUTA DE LOS VOLCANES
Each dish I prepare is a tribute to the land that surrounds us, to the mountains and volcanoes that connect us. On this journey of flavors, I want every bite to take you to discover the essence of our Ecuadorian land, in every ingredient, in every aroma. Thank you for joining us on this gastronomic experience that celebrates the purest of our landscape. Enjoy this journey of flavors!
