HOSPITALITY GROUP
STORY
Founded in 2019 by Ecuadorian chef Alejandra Espinoza, SOMOS Hospitality Group was born with the vision of elevating Ecuadorian gastronomy to a global level. With a passion for excellence and innovation, the group has developed culinary concepts that redefine the country’s gastronomic identity, creating experiences that combine tradition and innovation.
MISSION
SOMOS will lead a new era of Ecuadorian gastronomy, built on strong values, sustainability, and authenticity. Our ambition is not to appear on rankings, but to transform the way the world sees Ecuador through its cuisine. SOMOS is the root of a broader brand, committed to its team, its suppliers, and its community.
VISION
SOMOS Hospitality Group seeks to position Ecuadorian gastronomy globally, combining creativity, sustainability, and excellence. With offerings that balance technique, innovation, and tradition, the group continues to grow with openings like COTOA in Miami—included in the Michelin Guide—and recognitions like SOMOS Restaurant being included in the 50 Best Discovery.
COMMITMENT TO OUR
SUPPLIERS
At SOMOS Hospitality Group, we believe exceptional cuisine begins with purposeful ingredients. That’s why we work closely with local producers, farmers, and artisans across Ecuador—not only to ensure quality and authenticity, but also to preserve ancestral knowledge, promote sustainability, and strengthen the local economy. As we expand globally, our mission is to showcase these ingredients to the world, sharing the richness and identity of Ecuadorian gastronomy
COLLABORATIONS AND GASTRONOMIC
MEETINGS
At SOMOS Hospitality Group, we believe that gastronomy is a space for meeting, learning, and celebration. We love sharing our cuisine with friends and industry colleagues, creating moments where we explore the richness of Ecuadorian gastronomy together.
Through collaborative dinners, events, and gastronomic experiences, we open our doors to chefs, producers, and culinary enthusiasts to exchange ideas, merge techniques, and continue to evolve. Every collaboration is an opportunity to learn, innovate, and, above all, enjoy.
SOCIAL
RESPONSABILITY
Our commitment to community is rooted in a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility. Throughout the year, we engage in meaningful initiatives that support education, promote equal opportunities in gastronomy, and bring warmth to those in need.
Guided by the values of care and solidarity, we strive to uplift and give back—especially to those who inspire us the most: the people of Ecuador.
