About us

At Cardó we celebrate the richness of sharing.

In our kitchen, Latin American and European influences come together with a profoundly Ecuadorian heart, highlighted through local ingredients. We believe that flavor is a universal language, capable of telling stories and bringing cultures together on a single plate.

Our style is that of a mestizo cuisine, showcasing the best of Ecuadorian products through influences from many places. Cardó is mestizo essence: a gastronomic proposal that looks outward to the world while remaining rooted in the place where it was born —Quito—, inviting you to discover how diversity transforms into flavor, connection, and identity.

Our plates

Each preparation is a bridge between traditions, a play of memories and techniques that find their place at the table to pay tribute to the identity of those who share it.


At Cardó, we strive to make every visit an experience where dishes comfort and surprise at the same time, beverages complement every bite, and hospitality feels warm and close. Our proposal is enriched with pairings of wines and spirits that converse with the cuisine, balanced with a bar designed to open new ways of gathering around the table.

We attend

Monday through Saturday, from 12:30 till 23:00.
