1. San Francisco Market
2. La Ronda
3. Craft breweries
Over the last few years, Quito has turned its hand to brewing – and beer is fast turning into Ecuador’s national drink (although we’ll always have a soft spot for canelazo, the warm, spicy traditional tipple of choice).
Over 50 different brands and breweries have popped up in and around Quito – some of them small businesses, some of them created in local homes. Rumour has it, the old brewery of the Monastery of San Francisco is being revamped – soon you’ll be able to sip beer inspired by the 300-year-old original brew, just like the monks used to make.
4. The middle of the world
5. La Mariscal
