Ecuadorian restaurants in the UK

The UK’s Ecuadorian restaurants are almost all in London, and most are small, family-run and much loved. A short list of places to start.

Ecuadorian food in London clusters in two places: Elephant and Castle in the south, the historic heart of the city’s Latin American community, and the north London stretch around Holloway Road and Seven Sisters. A few newer places have opened in the West End and Brixton.

Small independents change hours and menus often, and some open only at weekends. We don’t list opening times or prices for that reason. Check before you travel.

What to order the first time

If it’s on the menu: ceviche de camarón if you like seafood, hornado if you don’t, and a bolón de verde (a fried ball of green plantain with cheese or pork) to share. Ask for ají on the side. At weekends, look for encebollado, a tuna and yuca broth that is Ecuador’s favourite breakfast.
